Longitudinal Data Analysis: Designs, Models and Methods / Edition 1

by Catrien C. J. H. Bijleveld, Leo J Th van der Kamp, Ab Mooijaart, Willem van der Kloot, Rien van der Leeden, Eeke Van Der Burg

Overview

By looking at the processes of change over time - by carrying out longitudinal studies - researchers answer questions about learning, development, educational growth, social change and medical outcomes.

However, longitudinal research has many faces. This book examines all the main approaches as well as newer developments (such as structural equation modelling, multilevel modelling and optimal scaling) to enable the reader to gain a thorough understanding of the approach and make appropriate decisions about which technique can be applied to the research problem. Conceptual explanations are used to keep technical terms to a minimum; examples are provided for each approach; issues of design, measurement and significance are co
