Hilley, Chanler D.; O'Rourke, Holly P. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Researchers in behavioral sciences are often interested in longitudinal behavior change outcomes and the mechanisms that influence changes in these outcomes over time. The statistical models that are typically implemented to address these research questions do not allow for investigation of mechanisms of dynamic change over time. However, latent…

Howard, Andrea L.; Galambos, Nancy L.; Krahn, Harvey J. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2010
This study followed a school-based sample (N = 920) to explore how trajectories of depressive symptoms and expressed anger from age 18 to 25, along with important life transitions, predicted life and career satisfaction at age 32. A two-group (women and men) bivariate growth model revealed that higher depressive symptoms at age 18 predicted lower…

Sugimura, Kazumi; Yamazaki, Mizuki; Phinney, Jean S.; Takeo, Kazuko – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2009
This study examined the ways in which Japanese adolescents handle disagreements with parents, and the extent to which the cultural values of emotional bonds within the family predict adolescents' reported handling of disagreements. Adolescents (N = 1029), aged 12 to 25 years, reported their projected actions in response to six hypothetical…

Sheldon, Kennon M.; Abad, Neetu; Omoile, Jessica – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2009
We tested the generalizability of five propositions derived from Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000) using school-aged adolescents living in India (N = 926) and Nigeria (N = 363). Consistent with past U.S. research, perceived teacher autonomy-support predicted students' basic need-satisfaction in the classroom and also predicted…

Bukowski, William M.; Adams, Ryan E.; Santo, Jonathan B. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2006
The field of developmental psychopathology has been challenged by various issues in understanding the link between social experiences and psychopathology. These challenges involve conceptual, methodological and statistical concerns that are often interrelated. This article examines four advances in resolving these concerns. First, co-rumination…

Cole, David A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2006
Many outcome variables in developmental psychopathology research are highly stable over time. In conventional longitudinal data analytic approaches such as multiple regression, controlling for prior levels of the outcome variable often yields little (if any) reliable variance in the dependent variable for putative predictors to explain. Three…
