A design-based implementation study of a preschool Spanish/English multi-tiered language curriculum / Estudio de implementación basada en el diseño de un currículum preescolar multinivel inglés/españo…
Implementation considerations should be integrated into the iterative development of educational innovations. The purpose of this design-based implementation research (DBIR) was to identify intervention components worthy of revision, examine the feasibility of a video manual and document barriers to the implementation of a multi-tiered dual-language instructional curriculum. Six teachers implemented the curriculum and provided feedback via struct…
The influence of reader and text characteristics on sixth graders' inference making
Background We examined the influence of text and reader characteristics on sixth graders' inference generation. Methods Eleven‐ to 12‐year‐old US monolingual English speakers ( N = 71) and Spanish‐English bilinguals ( N = 81) read narrative and informational expository texts requiring an inference and answered an inference‐tapping question after each text. We examined the influence of language status, word reading ability, knowledge (background k…

The Impact of Partial Measurement Invariance on Between-group Comparisons of Second-Order Factor Means
A simulation study was conducted to explore the influence of partial measurement invariance on the second-order factor mean difference estimation. The types, positions, numbers, and directions of between-group differences for noninvariant parameters were manipulated, along with sample size and effect size of the latent mean difference. When the model was misspecified by constraining noninvariant loadings or intercepts to be equal, the latent mean…
Effortful Control and Extensive Observations of Negative Emotion as Joint Predictors of Teacher–Student Conflict in Childhood
Studies with extensive observations of real-life emotions at school are rare but might be especially useful for predicting school-related outcomes. This study evaluated observations of negative emotion expressivity in lunch and recreation settings across kindergarten, first grade, and second grade (N = 301), kindergarten teachers’ reports of children’s effortful control, and kindergarten and second grade teachers’ reports of their perceived confl…
Longitudinal relations between behavioral engagement and academic achievement
Peers’ emotionality and children's academic achievement in second grade
Although there is interest in the role of peers in children's schooling experiences, few researchers have examined associations and related underlying processes between peers' emotionality, an aspect of temperament, and children's academic achievement. This study evaluated whether target children's ( N = 260) own self-regulation, assessed with two behavioral measures, served a moderating function for associations between peers' emotionality and c…

General Factor Mean Difference Estimation in Bifactor Models with Ordinal Data
A simulation study was conducted to explore robustness of general factor mean difference estimation in bifactor measurement models with ordered-categorical measures. Common analysis misspecifications in which generated bifactor data were fitted using a unidimensional model and/or ordered-categorical data were treated as continuous were compared under generation conditions varying by sample size, number of response categories, effect size of the g…
The interaction between parental warmth and the teacher‐student relationship predicts changes in early elementary children's problem behaviors
This study tested whether the relations between parental warmth and children's problem behaviors vary as a function of the quality of the teacher‐student relationship while controlling for prior levels of the outcomes. When children ( N = 301, M age = 5.48, 52% girls) were in kindergarten, teachers reported on the quality of the teacher‐student relationship, and parents reported on their warmth toward their children and on their child's externali…
Proportion of Indicator Common Variance Due to a Factor as an Effect Size Statistic in Revised Parallel Analysis
Past research suggests revised parallel analysis (R-PA) tends to yield relatively accurate results in determining the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. R-PA can be interpreted as a series of hypothesis tests. At each step in the series, a null hypothesis is tested that an additional factor accounts for zero common variance among measures in the population. Integration of an effect size statistic—the proportion of common variance (…
Relative Accuracy of Two Modified Parallel Analysis Methods that Use the Proper Reference Distribution
Parallel analysis (PA) assesses the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. Traditionally PA compares the eigenvalues for a sample correlation matrix with the eigenvalues for correlation matrices for 100 comparison datasets generated such that the variables are independent, but this approach uses the wrong reference distribution. The proper reference distribution of eigenvalues assesses the kth factor based on comparison datasets with k…
Bidirectional associations between emotions and school adjustment
OBJECTIVE: We examined the relations of children's (N = 301) observed expression of negative and positive emotion in classes or nonclassroom school contexts (i.e., lunch and recess) to school adjustment from kindergarten to first grade. METHOD: Naturalistic observations of children's emotional expressivity were collected, as were teachers' reports of children's school engagement and relationship quality with teachers and peers. RESULTS: In longit…

Accuracy of Revised and Traditional Parallel Analyses for Assessing Dimensionality with Binary Data
Parallel analysis (PA) is a useful empirical tool for assessing the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. On conceptual and empirical grounds, we argue for a revision to PA that makes it more consistent with hypothesis testing. Using Monte Carlo methods, we evaluated the relative accuracy of the revised PA (R-PA) and traditional PA (T-PA) methods for factor analysis of tetrachoric correlations between items with binary responses. We m…
Emotional expression in school context, social relationships, and academic adjustment in kindergarten
This study evaluated direct relations of both kindergarteners' (N = 301) naturalistically observed emotion in 2 different school contexts and early kindergarten verbal competence to academic adjustment (i.e., standardized measures of academic achievement, teacher-reported academic skills, teacher-reported and observed school engagement) and if these relations were mediated by teacher-reported conflict with students and by peer acceptance. When co…
Type I and Type II Error Rates and Overall Accuracy of the Revised Parallel Analysis Method for Determining the Number of Factors
Traditional parallel analysis (T-PA) estimates the number of factors by sequentially comparing sample eigenvalues with eigenvalues for randomly generated data. Revised parallel analysis (R-PA) sequentially compares the kth eigenvalue for sample data to the kth eigenvalue for generated data sets, conditioned on k− 1 underlying factors. T-PA and R-PA are conceptualized as stepwise hypothesis-testing procedures and, thus, are alternatives to sequent…

Effortful Control and Impulsivity as Concurrent and Longitudinal Predictors of Academic Achievement
The goal of this study was to test if both effortful control (EC) and impulsivity, a reactive index of temperament, uniquely predict adolescents’ academic achievement, concurrently and longitudinally (Time 1: N = 168, [Formula: see text] age = 12 years). At Time 1, parents and teachers reported on students’ EC and impulsivity. At both time points, spaced 2 years apart, parents and teachers reported on students’ achievement. In a concurrent regres…
A Proposed Solution to the Problem With Using Completely Random Data to Assess the Number of Factors With Parallel Analysis
A number of psychometricians have argued for the use of parallel analysis to determine the number of factors. However, parallel analysis must be viewed at best as a heuristic approach rather than a mathematically rigorous one. The authors suggest a revision to parallel analysis that could improve its accuracy. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to compare revised and traditional parallel analysis approaches. Five dimensions are manipulated in the s…

Causal mediating processes were examined using qualitative methods to evaluate a tobacco-use prevention program for adolescents in India, Project MYTRI (Mobilizing Youth for Tobacco-Related Initiatives in India). Interviews were conducted with Project MYTRI leaders and staff persons. The focus of the interviews was to learn about the program implementation and to characterize how Project MYTRI classroom sessions altered student-level psychosocial…
Evaluation of Parallel Analysis Methods for Determining the Number of Factors
Population and sample simulation approaches were used to compare the performance of parallel analysis using principal component analysis (PA-PCA) and parallel analysis using principal axis factoring (PA-PAF) to identify the number of underlying factors. Additionally, the accuracies of the mean eigenvalue and the 95th percentile eigenvalue criteria were examined. The 95th percentile criterion was preferable for assessing the first eigenvalue using…
Longitudinal Relations Among Parental Emotional Expressivity and Sympathy and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence
Concurrent and longitudinal relations among parental emotional expressivity, children's sympathy, and children's prosocial behavior were assessed with correlations and structural equation modeling when the children were 55 months to 97 months old (n = 214; M age = 73 months, SD = 9.59) and 8 years later (n = 130; ages 150 to 195 months old, M = 171 months, SD = 10.01). Parent emotional expressivity (positive and negative) and children's sympathy …
Structural Equation Modeling for Conducting Tests of Differences in Multiple Means
Multivariate methods for analyzing group differences in means on dependent variables include multivariate analysis of variance, discriminant analysis, and multivariate analysis of factor means. To make appropriate choices among these methods, researchers should understand the statistical models underlying them. We present these models using path diagrams within a structural equation modeling framework. Results for the different methods are presen…

A Monte Carlo Investigation of Methods for Controlling Type I Errors with Specification Searches in Structural Equation Modeling
A standard strategy in structural equation modeling is to conduct multiple Lagrange multiplier (LM) tests after rejection of an initial model. Controlling for Type 1 error across these tests minimizes the likelihood of including unnecessary additional parameters in the model. Three methods for controlling Type I errors are evaluated using simulated data for factor analytic models: the standard approach which involves testing each parameter at the…

The Relations of Effortful Control and Impulsivity to Children's Resiliency and Adjustment
The unique relations of effortful control and impulsivity to resiliency and adjustment were examined when children were 4.5 to 8 years old, and 2 years later. Parents and teachers reported on all constructs and children's attentional persistence was observed. In concurrent structural equation models, effortful control and impulsivity uniquely and directly predicted resiliency and externalizing problems and indirectly predicted internalizing probl…
