Shogren, Karrie A.; Garnier Villarreal, Mauricio; Dowsett, Chantelle; Little, Todd D. – Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, 2016
This study conducted secondary analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) to examine the degree to which student, family, and school constructs predicted self-determination outcomes. Multi-group structural equation modeling was used to examine predictive relationships between 5 student, 4 family, and 7 school…

Two-Method Planned Missing Designs for Longitudinal Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Garnier-Villarreal, Mauricio; Rhemtulla, Mijke; Little, Todd D. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2014
We examine longitudinal extensions of the two-method measurement design, which uses planned missingness to optimize cost-efficiency and validity of hard-to-measure constructs. These designs use a combination of two measures: a "gold standard" that is highly valid but expensive to administer, and an inexpensive (e.g., survey-based)…

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation in Early Adolescents' Friendship Development: Friendship Selection, Influence, and Prospective Friendship Quality
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ojanen, Tiina; Sijtsema, Jelle J.; Hawley, Patricia H.; Little, Todd D. – Journal of Adolescence, 2010
Friendships are essential for adolescent social development. However, they may be pursued for varying motives, which, in turn, may predict similarity in friendships via social selection or social influence processes, and likely help to explain friendship quality. We examined the effect of early adolescents' (N = 374, 12-14 years) intrinsic and…

New Developments in Latent Variable Panel Analyses of Longitudinal Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Little, Todd D.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Selig, James P.; Card, Noel A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2007
We review fundamental issues in one traditional structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to analyzing longitudinal data--cross-lagged panel designs. We then discuss a number of new developments in SEM that are applicable to analyzing panel designs. These issues include setting appropriate scales for latent variables, specifying an appropriate…

Understanding the Construct of Self-Determination: Examining the Relationship between the Arc's Self-Determination Scale and the American Institutes for Research Self-Determination Scale
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Shogren, Karrie A.; Wehmeyer, Michael L.; Palmer, Susan B.; Soukup, Jane Helen; Little, Todd D.; Garner, Nancy; Lawrence, Margaret – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2008
Since the early 1990s, attention has been focused on the importance of self-determination in the education of students with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to further our understanding of the construct of self-determination by examining the relationship between the "Arc's Self-Determination Scale" and the "American…
