Assessment of Relationship-Specific Incentive and Threat Sensitivities: Predicting Satisfaction and Affect in Adult Intimate Relationships
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Laurenceau, Jean-Philippe; Kleinman, Brighid M.; Kaczynski, Karen J.; Carver, Charles S. – Psychological Assessment, 2010
Self-report scales assessing relationship-specific incentive and threat sensitivity were created. Initial tests of factor structure and associations with relationship quality were conducted in a sample of persons in intimate relationships (Study 1). Associations with conceptually related measures were examined to determine convergent and…

Causal Inference in Randomized Experiments with Mediational Processes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jo, Booil – Psychological Methods, 2008
This article links the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach with the principal stratification (PS) approach, both of which have been widely used to study the role of intermediate posttreatment outcomes in randomized experiments. Despite the potential benefit of such integration, the 2 approaches have been developed in parallel with little…

Methods for Integrating Moderation and Mediation: A General Analytical Framework Using Moderated Path Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Edwards, Jeffrey R.; Lambert, Lisa Schurer – Psychological Methods, 2007
Studies that combine moderation and mediation are prevalent in basic and applied psychology research. Typically, these studies are framed in terms of moderated mediation or mediated moderation, both of which involve similar analytical approaches. Unfortunately, these approaches have important shortcomings that conceal the nature of the moderated…

A Bayesian Approach for Analyzing Hierarchical Data with Missing Outcomes through Structural Equation Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, Sik-Yum – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Structural equation models are widely appreciated in behavioral, social, and psychological research to model relations between latent constructs and manifest variables, and to control for measurement errors. Most applications of structural equation models are based on fully observed data that are independently distributed. However, hierarchical…

Clarifying Problems and Offering Solutions for Correlated Error when Assessing the Validity of Selected-Subtest Short Forms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Girard, Todd A.; Christensen, Bruce K. – Psychological Assessment, 2008
The correlation between a short-form (SF) test and its full-scale (FS) counterpart is a mainstay in the evaluation of SF validity. However, in correcting for overlapping error variance in this measure, investigators have overattenuated the validity coefficient through an intuitive misapplication of P. Levy's (1967) formula. The authors of the…

Institutional Research Productivity, Use of Theory-Driven Research, and Statistical Application in Counseling Psychology: Examining the Research Base. Reactions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kahn, Jeffrey H. – Counseling Psychologist, 2005
The author reacts to the three core articles in the Scientific Forum of the May 2005 issue of "The Counseling Psychologist" about institutional research productivity, the use of theory-driven research, and the application of structural equation modeling to research in counseling psychology. To have a research base that maximizes divergent…
