Developmental Trajectories of Emotional Availability Differ Between Dyads With Children With and Without Motor Delay
Latent Classes of Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences and Associations With Depression Among Racially/Ethnically Minoritized Adolescents
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are risk factors for adolescent depression, and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are protective factors. It remains unclear how ACEs and PCEs cluster and predict depression in racially/ethnically minoritized adolescents. Our study aims to examine the subgroups of ACEs and PCEs in the family, school and neighbourhood contexts and their effects on the depression of racially/ethnically minoritized adolescent…
The Impact of Model Parameterization and Estimation Methods on Tests of Measurement Invariance With Ordered Polytomous Data
Evaluations of measurement invariance provide essential construct validity evidence-a prerequisite for seeking meaning in psychological and educational research and ensuring fair testing procedures in high-stakes settings. However, the quality of such evidence is partly dependent on the validity of the resulting statistical conclusions. Type I or Type II errors can render measurement invariance conclusions meaningless. The present study used Mont…
A Comparison of Population-Averaged and Cluster-Specific Approaches in the Context of Unequal Probabilities of Selection
Sampling designs of large-scale survey studies are typically complex, involving multiple design features such as clustering and unequal probabilities of selection. Single-level (i.e., population-averaged) methods that use adjusted variance estimators and multilevel (i.e., cluster-specific) methods provide two alternatives for modeling clustered data. Although the literature comparing these methods is vast, comparisons have been limited to the con…
Family income, parent education, and perceived constraints as predictors of observed program quality and parent rated program quality
Parent Engagement and School Readiness: Effects of the Getting Ready Intervention on Preschool Children's Social–Emotional Competencies
RESEARCH FINDINGS: Parental engagement with children has been linked to a number of adaptive characteristics in preschool children, and relationships between families and professionals are an important contributor to school readiness. Furthermore, social-emotional competence is a key component of young children's school readiness. This study reports the results of a randomized trial of a parent engagement intervention (Getting Ready) designed to …

On the Merits of Orthogonalizing Powered and Product Terms: Implications for Modeling Interactions Among Latent Variables
The goals of this article are twofold: (a) briefly highlight the merits of residual centering for representing interaction and powered terms in standard regression contexts (e.g., Lance, 1988), and (b) extend the residual centering procedure to represent latent variable interactions. The proposed method for representing latent variable interactions has potential advantages over extant procedures. First, the latent variable interaction is derived …
Measuring Attentional Ability in Older Adults: Development and Psychometric Evaluation of DriverScan
Although deficits in visual attention are often postulated as an important component of many declines in cognitive processing and functional outcomes in older adults, surprisingly little emphasis has been placed on evaluating psychometric instruments with which individual differences in visual attention ability can be assessed. This article reports the development and beginning psychometric evaluation of DriverScan, a change detection measure of …
