商品描述
This book provides accessible treatment to state-of-the-art approaches to analyzing longitudinal studies. Comprehensive coverage of the most popular analysis tools allows readers to pick and choose the techniques that best fit their research. The analyses are illustrated with examples from major longitudinal data sets including practical information about their content and design. Illustrations from popular software packages offer tips on how to interpret the results. Each chapter features suggested readings for additional study and a list of articles that further illustrate how to implement the analysis and report the results. Syntax examples for several software packages for each of the chapter examples are provided at www.psypress.com/longitudinal-data-analysis.
Although many of the examples address health or social science questions related to aging, readers from other disciplines will find the analyses relevant to their work. In addition to demonstrating statistical analysis of longitudinal data, the book shows how to interpret and analyze the results within the context of the research design. The methods covered in this book are applicable to a range of applied problems including short- to long-term longitudinal studies using a range of sample sizes.
The book provides non-technical, practical introductions to the concepts and issues relevant to longitudinal analysis. Topics include use of publicly available data sets, weighting and adjusting for complex sampling designs with longitudinal studies, missing data and attrition, measurement issues related to longitudinal research, the use of ANOVA and regression for average change over time, mediation analysis, growth curve models, basic and advanced structural equation models, and survival analysis.
An ideal supplement for graduate level courses on data analysis and/or longitudinal modeling taught in psychology, gerontology, public health, human development, family studies, medicine, sociology, social work, and other behavioral, social, and health sciences, this multidisciplinary book will also appeal to researchers in these fields.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對於分析縱向研究的最先進方法的易懂介紹。全面涵蓋了最受歡迎的分析工具，讓讀者可以選擇最適合其研究的技術。分析中使用了主要縱向數據集的範例，並提供了有關其內容和設計的實用資訊。來自流行軟體包的插圖提供了如何解釋結果的提示。每一章都包含了建議的閱讀資料以供進一步學習，以及一系列文章，進一步說明如何實施分析並報告結果。每章範例的幾個軟體包的語法範例可在 www.psypress.com/longitudinal-data-analysis找到。
雖然許多範例針對與老化相關的健康或社會科學問題，但來自其他學科的讀者也會發現這些分析與他們的工作相關。除了展示縱向數據的統計分析外，本書還顯示了如何在研究設計的背景下解釋和分析結果。本書所涵蓋的方法適用於一系列應用問題，包括使用各種樣本大小的短期至長期縱向研究。
本書提供了非技術性、實用的概念和問題介紹，與縱向分析相關。主題包括使用公開可用的數據集、對複雜抽樣設計進行加權和調整的縱向研究、缺失數據和流失、與縱向研究相關的測量問題、使用ANOVA和回歸分析時間平均變化、媒介分析、成長曲線模型、基本和進階的結構方程模型，以及生存分析。
這本多學科的書籍是心理學、老年學、公眾健康、人類發展、家庭研究、醫學、社會學、社會工作及其他行為、社會和健康科學領域的研究生課程中關於數據分析和/或縱向建模的理想補充，對這些領域的研究人員也具有吸引力。
作者簡介
Jason T. Newsom is an Associate Professor in the Institute on Aging at Portland State University. He received his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Arizona State University in 1993. Dr. Newsom teaches data analysis, advanced data analysis, and research methods. His research focuses on care among physically impaired older adults, social interaction and support among older adults, health behaviors among older adults, and longitudinal research design and analysis.
Richard N. Jones, Sc.D., is an epidemiologist who studies issues regarding mental health and aging. His research focuses on social and environmental correlates and possible modifiers of cognitive aging, and the epidemiology of depression among older adults. He leads several Data Management and Statistical Analysis cores for research based at the Institute for Aging Research at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, a Harvard Medical School affiliated long term care hospital in Boston, MA.
Scott M. Hofer is a Professor of Psychology and the Harold Mohr, M.D. and Wilhelma Mohr, M.D. Research Chair in Adult Development and Aging at the University of Victoria, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology, Adult Development and Aging, from the University of Southern California in 1994. His research focuses on the identification and explanation of individual differences in developmental and aging-related processes and involves analysis of existing longitudinal studies, new data collection efforts using intensive measurement designs, and developments in research methodology focused on measurement and analysis of change. He co-directs the Integrative Analysis of Longitudinal Studies on Aging (IALSA) research network for the coordinated analysis and synthesis of longitudinal research on aging-related change in cognition, health, and personality.
