  • Valuation of candidate brand equity dimensions and voting intention

    Open AccessPablo Gutierrez Rodríguez, Ricardo Villarreal et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2023

    The current research examines the options available for political candidates to leverage their brand in order to influence voting intentions. Candidates, owing to the strong psychological connections they establish with their voters, are well-positioned to construct brand equity. Emotions are part of any brand–consumer relationship, but in the case of politics, the importance of this dimension may be more significant given that the brand, in this…

  • Fitting Nonlinear Mixed-effects Models With Alternative Residual Covariance Structures

    Open AccessShelley A Blozi, Shelley A Blozis et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2021References: 47

    Nonlinear mixed-effects models are models in which one or more coefficients of the growth model enter in a nonlinear manner, such as appearing in the exponent of the growth function. In their applications, the within-individual residuals are often assumed to be independent with constant variance across time, an assumption that implies that the assumed growth function fully accounts for the dependencies and patterns of variation in the data. Studi…

  • Do “birds of a feather flock together” or do “opposites attract”? Behavioral responses and temperament predict success in pairings of rhesus monkeys in a laboratory setting

    Open AccessJohn P Capitanio, Shelley A Blozi et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2017

    The growing recognition that social needs of primates in captivity must be addressed can present challenges to staff at primate facilities charged with implementing pair-housing solutions for animals. Unfortunately, there are few published papers that identify individual characteristics that might facilitate the social pairing process, and those that have looked at pre-pairing measures of behavior have produced mixed results. Using a database of …

  • Understanding Individual-level Change Through the Basis Functions of a Latent Curve Model

    Open AccessShelley A Blozi, Shelley A Blozis et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2017References: 32

    Latent curve models have become a popular approach to the analysis of longitudinal data. At the individual level, the model expresses an individual's response as a linear combination of what are called 'basis functions' that are common to all members of a population and weights that may vary among individuals. This article uses differential calculus to define the basis functions of a latent curve model. This provides a meaningful interpretation o…

  • A Note on Recurring Misconceptions When Fitting Nonlinear Mixed Models

    Jeffrey R Harring, Shelley A Blozi et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2016

    Nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) models are used when analyzing continuous repeated measures data taken on each of a number of individuals where the focus is on characteristics of complex, nonlinear individual change. Challenges with fitting NLME models and interpreting analytic results have been well documented in the statistical literature. However, parameter estimates as well as fitted functions from NLME analyses in recent articles have been mi…

  • Cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression

    Open AccessLinda Juang, Ursula Moffitt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2016Cited by: 7References: 37

    Our findings highlight the importance of examining multiple emotion regulation strategies simultaneously-considering what strategies are available to individuals and in what combination they are used-to understand how best to deal with negative emotions resulting from experiencing discrimination

  • The timing of entry into adult roles and changes in trajectories of problem behaviors during the transition to adulthood

    MONICA J MARTIN, Shelley A Blozi et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2014Cited by: 3References: 11

    This study of a cohort of 451 adolescents examined associations between trajectories of problem behaviors and the timing of entry into work, marriage, and parenthood. We used data from 12 assessments across adolescence, through emerging adulthood and into young adulthood. We employed 2-phase mixed-effects models to estimate growth in substance use and antisocial behavior across adolescence, deceleration in the period that follows, and the change …
