Students are required to replicate the results of a published manuscript using Mplus, writing a short research report (up to three pages), interpreting and commenting the data.

Basic principles in the analysis of change with repeated measures. Different types of stability and change: rank-order stability, mean-level change, ipsative stability. Students will use the Mplus software to fit different statistical approaches for the analysis of change (e.g., autoregressive models), with a special focus on latent growth curve modeling (LGM).
