The present study investigated the relationship between adolescents’ perception of a lack of classmate support and their individual and their respective culture’s daily amounts of television viewing and computer use. We tested multilevel regression models ...
Abstract. Empirical evidence suggests that physical activity is related to less depressive moods. However, little is known about this association in the everyday life of older adults, limiting the ecological validity of prior findings. This study examined ...
Zur Überprüfung der postulierten Messmodelle für Fragebögen zur Lehrveranstaltungsevaluation (LVE) werden konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen (CFA) entweder auf Studenten- oder Veranstaltungsebene durchgeführt. Der resultierende Modellfit ist oft ...
Analysis of longitudinal data with hierarchical linear modelsAbstract.Background: In clinical research, repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) is the most commonly used tool for the analysis of multiple occasions. In contrast, multilevel ...
Abstract. This study investigates the relationship between scholastic achievement (teacher-assigned grades) and cognitive abilities while explicitly modeling the multilevel structure of a large data set from an educational context. A multivariate analysis ...
Abstract. Developmental data are often both longitudinal and multivariate and can be handled within a multilevel framework. This paper fits a range of multivariate multilevel models to both continuous and binary data to examine the ways in which a set of ...
Whereas general sample size guidelines have been suggested when estimating multilevel models, they are only generalizable to a relatively limited number of data conditions and model structures, both of which are not very feasible for the applied ...
The multiple membership random effects model (MMREM) is used to appropriately model multiple membership data structures. Use of the MMREM requires selection of weights reflecting the hypothesized contribution of each level two unit (e.g., school) and ...
Abstract. A multivariate multilevel model (MVMM) extends standard multilevel modeling by including multiple dependent variables and thus could be used in place of traditional multivariate analyses. For a two-group study with two correlated ...
Abstract. The investigation of differential item functioning (DIF) is important for any group comparison because the validity of the inferences made from scale scores could be compromised if DIF is present. DIF occurs when individuals from ...
Abstract. Multilevel models have recently been used to empirically investigate the idea that social characteristics are intersectional such as age, sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position interact with each other to drive outcomes. Some ...
