The Mediating Role of School Motivation in Linking Student Victimization and Academic Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fan, Weihua; Dempsey, Allison G. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2017
This study examined the mediating role of student school motivation in linking student victimization experiences and academic achievement among a nationally representative sample of students in 10th grade. Structural equation modeling supported that there were significant associations between student victimization and academic achievement for high…

Rejoinder to MacCallum, Edwards, and Cai (2012) and Rindskopf (2012): Mastering a New Method
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Muthen, Bengt; Asparouhov, Tihomir – Psychological Methods, 2012
This rejoinder discusses the general comments on how to use Bayesian structural equation modeling (BSEM) wisely and how to get more people better trained in using Bayesian methods. Responses to specific comments cover how to handle sign switching, nonconvergence and nonidentification, and prior choices in latent variable models. Two new…

A Markov Chain Monte Carlo Approach to Confirmatory Item Factor Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Edwards, Michael C. – Psychometrika, 2010
Item factor analysis has a rich tradition in both the structural equation modeling and item response theory frameworks. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate a novel combination of various Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation routines to estimate parameters of a wide variety of confirmatory item factor analysis models. Further, I show…

Multilevel Structural Equation Models for the Analysis of Comparative Data on Educational Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Goldstein, Harvey; Bonnet, Gerard; Rocher, Thierry – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2007
The Programme for International Student Assessment comparative study of reading performance among 15-year-olds is reanalyzed using statistical procedures that allow the full complexity of the data structures to be explored. The article extends existing multilevel factor analysis and structural equation models and shows how this can extract richer…

Regime Switching in the Latent Growth Curve Mixture Model
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dolan, Conor V.; Schmittmann, Verena D.; Lubke, Gitta H.; Neale, Michael C. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
A linear latent growth curve mixture model is presented which includes switching between growth curves. Switching is accommodated by means of a Markov transition model. The model is formulated with switching as a highly constrained multivariate mixture model and is fitted using the freely available Mx program. The model is illustrated by analyzing…
