Commentary: Mediation Analysis, Causal Process, and Cross-Sectional Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shrout, Patrick E. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
Maxwell, Cole, and Mitchell (2011) extended the work of Maxwell and Cole (2007), which raised important questions about whether mediation analyses based on cross-sectional data can shed light on longitudinal mediation process. The latest article considers longitudinal processes that can only be partially explained by an intervening variable, and…

Imai, Kosuke; Jo, Booil; Stuart, Elizabeth A. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
In this commentary, we demonstrate how the potential outcomes framework can help understand the key identification assumptions underlying causal mediation analysis. We show that this framework can lead to the development of alternative research design and statistical analysis strategies applicable to the longitudinal data settings considered by…

Reichardt, Charles S. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
Maxwell, Cole, and Mitchell (2011) demonstrated that simple structural equation models, when used with cross-sectional data, generally produce biased estimates of meditated effects. I extend those results by showing how simple structural equation models can produce biased estimates of meditated effects when used even with longitudinal data. Even…

Cattell and the Theory of Personality.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eysenck, H. J. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1984
While the author and Raymond Cattell approach personality study differently, their similar conclusions reveal their constructs and theories as complimentary, not contradictory. They agree on major issues: the existence of general personality traits with consistent associated behaviors, the relevance of multivariate studies, and the importance of…

Concepts of Intraindividual Variability and Change: Impressions of Cattell's Influence on Lifespan Developmental Psychology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nesselroade, John R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1984
Raymond B. Cattell's research has produced many conceptual, methodological, measurement, and data analysis tools for identifying and studying interindividual differences and similarities in intraindividual change patterns. Additional Cattell contributions to lifespan developmental research include personality and ability concepts and their…

R.B. Cattell and Behavior Genetics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Loehlin, John C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1984
Raymond Cattell's efforts to sort out the relationships of genetic or environmental patterns to personality factors have contributed to behavior genetics. Early writings on the projected decline of intelligence in Britain, studies using Multivariate Abstract Variance Analysis, and other miscellaneous studies on personality factors and mental…
