Stability of Individual Differences in Social and Nonsocial Visual Attention From Newborn to 14 Months
Given the foundational nature of infant visual attention and potential cascading effects on later development, studies of individual variability in developmental trajectories in a normative sample are needed. We longitudinally tested newborns ( N = 77) at 1–2 and 3–4 weeks, then again at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 14 months of age, assessing individual differences in their attention. Newborns viewed live stimuli (facial gesturing, rotating disk), one at a ti…

Intersecting Relationships of Psychosocial and Structural Syndemic Problems Among People with HIV in South Africa: Using Network Analysis to Identify Influential Problems
Syndemics and salivary inflammation in people living with HIV/Aids
Objective People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are disproportionally exposed to a host of structural, community, and individual-level physical and psychosocial stressors also termed ‘syndemic conditions.’ The current study aimed to examine the association between experiencing syndemic conditions and physiological stress response and be associated with bodily inflammation, including Interlekin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in PLWHA.Design P…

Child eyewitness researchers often bin age: Prevalence of the practice and recommendations for analyzing developmental trends
OBJECTIVE: Effective practices for eliciting and analyzing children's eyewitness reports rely on accurate conclusions about age differences in how children retain information and respond to memory probes. Binning, which is the practice of categorizing continuous variables into discrete groups, can lower studies' power to detect age differences and, in some situations, produce significant but spurious effects. In this article, we (a) describe a sy…
Addressing Syndemics and Self-care in Individuals with Uncontrolled HIV: An Open Trial of a Transdiagnostic Treatment
A multilevel examination of sleep, depression, and quality of life in people living with HIV/Aids
Sleep problems are prevalent in people living with HIV/AIDS; however, few studies examine how poor sleep affects mental health and quality of life longitudinally. A sample of people living with HIV/AIDS from a randomized trial ( N = 240; mean age = 47.18; standard deviation = 8.3; 71.4% male; 61.2% White) completed measures of depression (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale), health-related quality of life (AIDS Clinical Trial Group Quality…

Bayesian Estimation for Item Factor Analysis Models with Sparse Categorical Indicators
Psychometric models for item-level data are broadly useful in psychology. A recurring issue for estimating item factor analysis (IFA) models is low-item endorsement (item sparseness), due to limited sample sizes or extreme items such as rare symptoms or behaviors. In this paper, I demonstrate that under conditions characterized by sparseness, currently available estimation methods, including maximum likelihood (ML), are likely to fail to converge…
Comparing within-person effects from multivariate longitudinal models
Several multivariate models are motivated to answer similar developmental questions regarding within-person (intraindividual) effects between 2 or more constructs over time, yet the within-person effects tested by each model are distinct. In this article, the authors clarify the types of within-person inferences that can be made from each model. Whereas previous research has focused on detecting whether within-person effects exist over developmen…
Judgments of self-identified gay and heterosexual male speakers: Which phonemes are most salient in determining sexual orientation
The separation of between-person and within-person components of individual change over time: A latent curve model with structured residuals.
OBJECTIVE: Although recent statistical and computational developments allow for the empirical testing of psychological theories in ways not previously possible, one particularly vexing challenge remains: how to optimally model the prospective, reciprocal relations between 2 constructs as they developmentally unfold over time. Several analytic methods currently exist that attempt to model these types of relations, and each approach is successful t…
