Growth Modeling: Structural Equation and Multilevel Modeling Approaches: Methodology in the Social Sciences
Autor Kevin J. Grimm, Nilam Ram, Ryne Estabrooken Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 noi 2016
Kevin J. Grimm, Nilam Ram și Ryne Estabrook, cercetători cu o autoritate recunoscută în metodologia psihologică și analiza datelor complexe, semnează acest volum de referință care fundamentează rigoarea analizei longitudinale moderne. Growth Modeling nu este doar un manual teoretic, ci un ghid aplicat ce reunește două paradigme majore: modelarea prin ecuații structurale (SEM) și modelarea pe mai multe niveluri. Apreciem faptul că autorii nu se limitează la prezentarea abstractă a algoritmilor, ci ancorează fiecare capitol în probleme de cercetare concrete, oferind soluții pentru descrierea tiparelor de schimbare liniară și neliniară.
Cititorii familiarizați cu Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling de Jason T. Newsom vor aprecia aici abordarea duală, care compară și integrează sistematic metodele SEM cu cele multilevel, oferind o perspectivă mai largă asupra modului în care pot fi interpretate diferențele intra-individuale și inter-individuale. Cartea este organizată progresiv: începe cu o secțiune esențială de pregătire a datelor și screening, continuă cu fundamentele modelelor de creștere liniară și se extinde către metrici de timp continuu și variabile latente.
În contextul operei autorilor, acest volum completează perfect temele abordate în Categorical Data Analysis with Structural Equation Models, mutând accentul de pe variabilele categoriale pe dinamica schimbării în timp. Ritmul este unul dens, specific literaturii academice de înalt nivel, dar accesibil datorită „Script box-urilor” care conțin cod pentru Mplus, SAS și R. Această ediție premiată de Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology se distinge prin rigoarea cu care tratează indicatorii de tip leading și lagging, oferind cercetătorului un instrumentar complet pentru analiza proceselor de dezvoltare umană și socială.

Professional and Professional Practice & DevelopmentDe ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor și studenților la doctorat care au nevoie de o metodologie solidă pentru analiza datelor longitudinale. Câștigul principal este capacitatea de a implementa modele complexe folosind codul gata de utilizare în R, SAS sau Mplus. Este o resursă esențială pentru oricine dorește să treacă dincolo de analizele transversale și să înțeleagă mecanismele profunde ale schimbării în timp, beneficiind de expertiza unor lideri în domeniu.

Notă biografică
Nilam Ram, PhD, is Professor in the Departments of Communication and Psychology at Stanford University. He specializes in longitudinal research methodology and lifespan development, with a focus on how multivariate time-series and growth curve modeling approaches can contribute to our understanding of behavioral change. He uses a wide variety of longitudinal models to examine changes in human behavior at multiple levels and across multiple time scales. Coupling the theory and method with data collected using mobile technologies, Dr. Ram is integrating process-oriented analytical paradigms with data visualization, gaming, experience sampling, and the delivery of individualized interventions/treatment.
Ryne Estabrook, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Social Sciences at Northwestern University. His research combines multivariate longitudinal methodology, open-source statistical software, and lifespan development. His methodological work pertains to developing new methods for the study of change and incorporating longitudinal and dynamic information into measurement. Dr. Estabrook is a developer of OpenMx, an open-source statistical software package for structural equation modeling and general linear algebra. He applies his methodological and statistical research to the study of lifespan development, including work on early childhood behavior and personality in late life.

Recenzii
"The implementation details are superb and the level of technical detail quite stunning. It will be so helpful for longitudinal researchers to have this compendium of growth models, complete with sample code from both SEM and multilevel modeling frameworks. It is wonderful to see the item response theory and SEM frameworks so nicely integrated. The authors have hit the trifecta--pulling together multilevel modeling, SEM, and item response theory. There is truly no other book on the market that covers latent growth modeling so completely and comprehensively."--D. Betsy McCoach, PhD, Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment Program, Neag School of Education, University of Connecticut
"This is the most thorough work on this subject that I know of; the coverage of nonlinear models is among the best I have seen. The book is written at a level suitable for an advanced graduate student learning this material or an applied researcher seeking a reference on the subject. It introduces the basics, discusses the relevant model theory/specification, and presents programming code for several packages. The authors do an exceptional job of explaining the computer code and providing insight into convergence issues and how to remedy them. It is good to have this all in one place (along with the respective output) for comparative purposes."--Daniel A. Powers, PhD, Department of Sociology, University of Texas at Austin
"This well-written book starts with clear statements about what research questions can be answered using growth models. Usefully, the authors include both multilevel modeling and SEM approaches, and analyze the example data within each framework using one proprietary program and one freely available R package. Viewing the detailed code and the results of each analysis gives the reader a chance to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Later chapters address such developments as nonlinear growth models and growth models for noncontinuous outcomes. Code for each variation is given, which expand the researcher's capacity to fit these complex models."--Yasuo Miyazaki, PhD, Associate Professor of Educational Research and Evaluation Program, Virginia Tech
"The importance that researchers and practitioners are placing on longitudinal designs and analyses signals a prominent shift toward methods that enable a better understanding of the developmental processes thought to underlie many human traits and behaviors. This book provides the essential background on latent growth models and covers several interesting methodological extensions, including models for nonlinear change, growth mixture models, and longitudinal models for assessing change in latent variables. Practical examples are woven throughout the text, accompanied by extensive annotated code in SAS, Mplus, and R, which makes both basic and more complex models accessible. This is a wonderful resource for anyone serious about longitudinal data analysis."--Jeffrey R. Harring, PhD, Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology, University of Maryland
"I highly recommend this book. It is a tour de force in model building with latent growth curves. The authors' use of three programming languages (Mplus, SAS, and R) is great, and they work with computer programs in an unusually careful way. The book will be of value to anyone dealing with longitudinal data."--John J. McArdle, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Southern California
