Description:

This follow-up of the introduction to SEM is an advanced course in which we focus on SEM for longitudinal and multilevel data. Prospective longitudinal data is usually collected over longer periods of time (e.g., yearly) while intensive longitudinal is gathered within shorter time-spans (e.g., numerous times a day). Both cross-sectional and longitudinal data can be collected applying a nested structure (e.g., students in classrooms, parents in families, time-points in persons). Using SEM we can model repeated latent constructs over time, or across hierarchical levels net of measurement error. In this course we will start off with analysis of models in which the time-structure is explicit. We will then introduce multilevel structural equation models (MSEM), in which we specify models in which time is not explicitly modeled. We will end with models in which the time-structure is explicit in multilevel data.

 

During the course we will cover worked examples relevant for educational, psychological and social sciences. Participants need to understand the basics of multiple regression, other relevant multivariate statistics, and have some exposure to either multilevel regression or SEM.
