However, a few limitations exist in the current DFM representatives and estimation: (1) the dynamic component contains either directed or undirected contemporaneous relations, but not both, (2) selecting the optimal model in exploratory DFM is a challenge, (3) the consequences of structural misspecifications from model selection is barely studied.

But causal inference of naturally observed time-varying treatments is complicated by treatment-dependent confounding in which earlier treatments affect confounders of later treatments. In this tutorial article, we introduce psychologists to an established solution to this problem from the causal inference literature: the parametric g-computation formula. We explain why the g-formula is effective at handling treatment-dependent confounding. We demonstrate that the parametric g-formula is conceptually intuitive, easy to implement, and well-suited for psychological research. We first clarify that the parametric g-formula essentially utilizes a series of statistical models to estimate the joint distribution of all post-treatment variables. These statistical models can be readily specified as standard multiple linear regression functions. We leverage this insight to implement the parametric g-formula using lavaan, a widely adopted R package for structural equation modeling. Moreover, we describe how the parametric g-formula may be used to estimate a marginal structural model whose causal parameters parsimoniously encode time-varying treatment effects. We hope this accessible introduction to the parametric g-formula will equip psychologists with an analytic tool to address their causal inquiries using longitudinal data.","PeriodicalId":53155,"journal":{"name":"Multivariate Behavioral Research","volume":" ","pages":"995-1018"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141499613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores modern nonparametric independence tests as an alternative, which, unlike traditional tests, have the ability to potentially detect any type of relationship. In addition to existing modern nonparametric independence tests, we developed and considered two novel variants of existing tests, most notably the Heller-Heller-Gorfine-Pearson (HHG-Pearson) test. We conducted a simulation study to compare traditional independence tests, such as Pearson's correlation, and the modern nonparametric independence tests in situations commonly encountered in psychological research. As expected, no test had the highest power across all relationships. However, the distance correlation and the HHG-Pearson tests were found to have substantially greater power than all traditional tests for many relationships and only slightly less power in the worst case. A similar pattern was found in favor of the HHG-Pearson test compared to the distance correlation test. However, given that distance correlation performed better for linear relationships and is more widely accepted, we suggest considering its use in place or additional to traditional methods when there is no prior knowledge of the relationship type, as is often the case in psychological research.","PeriodicalId":53155,"journal":{"name":"Multivariate Behavioral Research","volume":" ","pages":"957-977"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141890919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their many advantages over ANOVA, critical issues in their analyses remain. Due to increasing random effects and model complexity, estimation computation is demanding, and convergence becomes challenging. Applied users need help choosing appropriate methods to estimate random effects. The present Monte Carlo simulation study investigated the impacts when the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and Bayesian estimation models were misspecified in the estimation. We also compared the performance of Akaike information criterion (AIC) and deviance information criterion (DIC) in model selection. Results showed that models neglecting the existing random effects had inflated Type I errors, unacceptable coverage, and inaccurate R-squared measures of fixed and random effects variation. Furthermore, models with redundant random effects had convergence problems, lower statistical power, and inaccurate R-squared measures for Bayesian estimation. The convergence problem is more severe for REML, while reduced power and inaccurate R-squared measures were more severe for Bayesian estimation. Notably, DIC was better than AIC in identifying the true models (especially for models including person random intercept only), improving convergence rates, and providing more accurate effect size estimates, despite AIC having higher power than DIC with 10 items and the most complicated true model.","PeriodicalId":53155,"journal":{"name":"Multivariate Behavioral Research","volume":" ","pages":"978-994"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141082872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To accurately understand Likert-type item responding, it is vital to parse unfolding responses from RSs. Therefore, we propose the Unfolding Item Response Tree (UIRTree) model. First, we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study to examine the performance of the UIRTree model compared to three other models - Samejima's Graded Response Model, Generalized Graded Unfolding Model, and Dominance Item Response Tree model, for Likert-type responses. Results showed that when data followed an unfolding response process and contained RSs, AIC was able to select the UIRTree model, while BIC was biased toward the DIRTree model in many conditions. In addition, model parameters in the UIRTree model could be accurately recovered under realistic conditions, and mis-specifying item response process or wrongly ignoring RSs was detrimental to the estimation of key parameters. Then, we used datasets from empirical studies to show that the UIRTree model could fit personality datasets well and produced more reasonable parameter estimates compared to competing models. A strong presence of RS(s) was also revealed by the UIRTree model. Finally, we provided examples with R code for UIRTree model estimation to facilitate the modeling of responses to Likert-type items in future studies.","PeriodicalId":53155,"journal":{"name":"Multivariate Behavioral Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, methods for clustering individuals based on similarity in measurement model loadings obtained from time series data are proposed. We review literature on idiographic factor modeling and measurement invariance, as well as clustering for time series analysis. Through two studies, we explore the utility and effectiveness of these measures. In Study 1, a simulation study is conducted, demonstrating the recovery of groups generated to have differing factor loadings using the proposed clustering method.

Since it is impossible to randomize LC membership, causal inference techniques are needed to estimate causal effects leveraging observational data. This paper proposes two novel strategies that make use of propensity scores to estimate the causal effect of LC membership on a distal outcome variable. Both strategies modify the bias-adjusted three-step approach by using propensity scores in the last step to control for confounding. The first strategy utilizes inverse propensity weighting (IPW), whereas the second strategy includes the propensity scores as control variables. Classification errors are accounted for using the BCH or ML corrections. We evaluate the performance of these methods in a simulation study by comparing it with three existing approaches that also use propensity scores in a stepwise LC analysis. Both of our newly proposed methods return essentially unbiased parameter estimates outperforming previously proposed methods. However, for smaller sample sizes our IPW based approach shows large variability in the estimates and can be prone to non-convergence.

In the context of process factor analysis (PFA), we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study to compare the performance of MI-FS to listwise deletion (LD), MI with manifest variables (MI-MV, which implements MI on both dependent variables and covariates), and partial MI with MVs (PMI-MV, which implements MI on covariates and handles missing dependent variables via full-information maximum likelihood) under different conditions. Across conditions, we found MI-based methods overall outperformed the LD; the MI-FS approach yielded lower root mean square errors (RMSEs) and higher coverage rates for auto-regression (AR) parameters compared to MI-MV; and the PMI-MV and MI-MV approaches yielded higher coverage rates for most parameters except AR parameters compared to MI-FS. These approaches were also compared using an empirical example investigating the relationships between negative affect and perceived stress over time.
