Introduction to the analysis of dyadic data
A chapter in the APA Handbook of Research Methods in Psychology. The chapters provides a basic introduction to the analysis of dyadic data.
Learning how to use R
I’ll be teaching a course on R through Statistical Horizons in Philadelphia Oct 2-3, 2015. For more information…
A piece on interval scaling from the point of view of classic psychometrics
Not many researchers use the classic psychometric scaling work such as successive intervals any more. The work goes back to the early days of psychometrics (e.g., Fechner, Thurstone) and even some early mathematical psychology (e.g., Coombs). There still is use for these classic models in understanding the meaning of rating scales.
The correlation of a difference score with another variable is difficult to interpret
It is difficult to interpret a correlation when one variable is a difference score. We show in this paper how the same correlation can arise from many different patterns, with each pattern implying a different interpretation. We give examples that arise in research on dyads (e.g., studying the relation between husband and wife salary on marial satisfaction). We provide recommendations for how to test research questions involving differences and discrepancies.
My textbook on data analysis for experimental design (aka ANOVA)
Here is a link to my textbook on analysis of variance. I’m currently working on a regression textbook and hope to follow that up with a multivariate statistics textbook. At that point I may turn to other kinds of books for a change of pace.
Experiments and quasi-experiments in developmental psychology
This chapter highlights design and analysis considerations relevant to many experiments and quasi-experiments in developmental psychology.
Reviewing analytic models of dyadic social interaction
This paper discusses some issues relevant to the study of dyads and social interaction. We highlight some of our work on dyadic data analysis.
Treating Dyadic Data with Respect
This chapter summarizes some of our work on dyadic data analysis. It is written more as a tutorial highlighting the pairwise approach to computing the intraclass correlation, which is a building block to many dyadic analytic techniques such as the actor-partner interaction model and the latent variable dyadic model.
Research methods chapter for social psychology
This chapter discusses various issues that emerge when one undertakes research in social psychology. We walk the reader through topics such as generating research ideas, report writing, and everything in between. It was a fun chapter to write.
Testing research questions in dyads and groups
This chapter goes beyond the usual statistical introduction to dyadic data analysis by addressing some example research questions in shared norms and social influence.
