Longitudinal Multitrait-Multimethod Models for Developmental Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grimm, Kevin J.; Pianta, Robert C.; Konold, Timothy – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2009
Multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) confirmatory factor models were combined with longitudinal structural equation models to examine trait and method stability over time. A longitudinal correlated-trait correlated-method (CT-CM) model allowed for the study of trait and method variance in observed scores over time. Longitudinal measurement invariance was…

The Validity of a Behavioral Rating Scale: Application of a Psychophysical Technique
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sanson-Fischer, Robert W.; Mulligan, B. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1977
A multidimensional scaling technique was used to assess the content and construct validity of a behavioral rating scale constructed to measure appropriate and inappropriate classroom behavior. The authors argue for the validity of the scale and the use of multidimensional scaling in resolving validity problems in behavior analysis. (Author/JKS)

Illinois Classroom Assessment Profile: Development of the Instrument.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Porges, Stephen W.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1985
The Illinois Classroom Assessment Profile is a teacher rating scale that is sensitive to behavior disorders exhibited by hyperactive children. The behavioral dimensions represent sustained attention, impulsivity, conduct, fine motor coordination, and evaluative anxiety. The development of the scale and investigations of its factor structure are…

Behavioral Clustering of School Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Huberty, Carl J.; DiStefano, Christine; Kamphaus, Randy W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1997
How a cluster analysis is conducted, validated, and interpreted is illustrated using a 14-scale behavioral assessment instrument and a national sample of 1,228 elementary school students. Method, cluster typology, validity, cluster structure, and prediction of cluster membership are discussed. (Author/SLD)

On the Location of the Sensation Seeking Construct in the Personality Domain.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Birenbaum, Menucha; Montag, Itzhak – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1986
The purpose of this study was to examine the location of Zukerman's sensation seeking (SS) construct in the personality domain as measured by Cattell's 16 personality factors (16PF). Results of the factor analytic study indicated that the global construct of sensation seeking is related to the broad personality factor of independence. (Author/LMO)

An Information Theoretic Approach for Identifying Shared Information and Asymmetric Relationships among Variables.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Golden, Linda L.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1990
The general-information-theoretic approach was used to identify informational overlap and asymmetry between variables, using affective, cognitive, and behavioral measures. Using the chi-squared test, no significant differences were found in response rates, demographics, or patronage frequency of three stores between numerical (n=453) and graphic…
