An Introduction to Multilevel Modeling Techniques: MLM and SEM Approaches
Multilevel modelling is a data analysis method that is frequently used to investigate hierarchal data structures in educational, behavioural, health, and social sciences disciplines. Multilevel data analysis exploits data structures that cannot be adequately investigated using single-level analytic methods such as multiple regression, path analysis, and structural modelling. This text offers a comprehensive treatment of multilevel models for univ…
An Introduction to Multilevel Modeling Techniques: MLM and SEM Approaches Using Mplus, Third Edition
Univariate and multivariate multilevel models are used to understand how to design studies and analyze data in this comprehensive text distinguished by its variety of applications from the educational, behavioral, and social sciences. Basic and advanced models are developed from the multilevel regression (MLM) and latent variable (SEM) traditions within one unified analytic framework for investigating hierarchical data. The authors provide exampl…
Institutional Conflict of Interest: The Role of Interlocking Directorates in the Scientific Relationships between Universities and the Corporate Sector
We examined the potential for institutional conflict of interest between the 26 private universities belonging to the Association of American Universities and the corporations to which they are tied through their boards of trustees. We were interested in the degree to which interlocks may have tightened over three points across an 11-year period (1994–2005). Our examination relies on a set of patenting profiles estimated from the universities and…
Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS
This book demonstrates how to use multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in the IBM SPSS mixed-effects program (MIXED). Annotated screen shots provide readers with a step-by-step understanding of each technique and navigating the program. Readers learn how to set up, run, and interpret a variety of models. Diagnostic tools, data management issues, and related graphics are introduced throughout. Annotated syntax is also availabl…
U.S. Research Universities' Institutional Conflict of Interest Policies
RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES RECEIVE INCREASING amounts of income from intellectual property, which makes institutional conflict of interest (ICOI) policies increasingly important. We analyzed the content and scope of ICOI policies at 60 research universities in the U.S. Association of American Universities. In particular, we focused on the following categories: disclosure, review, management, and prohibited or constrained activities. Most of the plans …

Tracks as Emergent Structures: A Network Analysis of Student Differentiation in a High School
While forms of tracking have drawn attention for many years, researchers have more recently turned their attention to the courses students take, the teaching that goes on within them, and the peer friendships formed as factors that affect students' educational experiences and post–high school aspirations. This study examines the phenomenon of student differentiation in high schools through a microanalysis of the course‐taking patterns of a cohort…

Ties That Bind: A Social Network Approach to Understanding Student Integration and Persistence
A Social Network Approach to Understanding Student Integration and Persistence Introduction Astin's (1993, P. 398) claim that peers are single most potent source of influence in the lives of college students comes after decades of theoretical and empirical research examining the integrative nature of student experiences on the college campus. Review of the classic work of Newcomb (1943, 1962) and Newcomb and Wilson (1966), or the more contemporar…
The Distribution of Dropout and Turnover Rates among Urban and Suburban High Schools
Although school dropout remains an important policy issue and has generated considerable research, little of this research has examined dropout as a measure of school performance. Even less attention has been paid to student turnover, another, related measure of how well schools are keeping students enrolled. This study examined the distributions of both dropout and turnover rates among a large sample of U.S. high schools and tested a series of m…
Social Positions in Schooling
In this article, the idea is developed that a track is a type of social position in students' relations with particular teachers and course work during their years of schooling. Using data from High School and Beyond, the authors derived eight curricular positions from an analysis of students' profiles of course work in high school. These curricular positions are associated with students' status characteristics (socioeconomic status, gender, and …
