Parking at Wayne State University
They are a few parking structures you can park at that are both close to
the Prentis Building and the State Hall Building. State Hall is
highlighted in green and you can see the Prentis building right next to it.
The parking structures are highlighted in maroon in the image below
with parking structure 6 highlighted in green:
Parking Structure #2, parking fee is $6.50. Entrance to parking structure 2 in on the Lodge
Service Drive. (This is the closest overnight parking for people staying in the On Campus
Housing)
Parking Structure #3, parking fee is $6.00. Entrance to parking structure 3 is on Warren.
Parking Structure #6, parking fee is $6.50. Entrance to parking structure 6 is on Putnam.
They are two types of parking in parking structure #6. One is for visitors and the other is for
Faculty/Staff/Student parking. We highly recommend parking in the Faculty/Staff and Student
parking since the parking fee ($6.50) is less than the visitors’ parking side ($10/per day). If
parking is full, (there will be sign that says “Full” in red) then you must park on the visitor side.
Only Parking Structure #6 and #2 will be open on Saturday. You cannot leave your car overnight
for parking structure 6, but you can for parking structure 2.

Credit Card Information for Parking
How does the credit card process work?
To use a credit card, you must swipe an active MasterCard, Visa or Discover card when you
enter and then again when you exit. Debit cards with a valid MasterCard, Visa or Discover
card will work also. (Note: You are only charged once). The card you are swiping with, must be
the same when you exit.
What is the procedure if a Credit Card customer would like a receipt?
In order to provide the most expedient entry and exit the credit card machines do not issue a
receipt. If the customer needs a receipt, they must see an attendant who will issue a hand written
receipt.
Can I view the available parking space in a particular parking facility?
Yes, you can see the parking availability at parking structures 1-6 and 8 as well as lots 41, 50
and 75. Parking Services home page has a link in the side bar or you can click
here: WSU Parking Availability. You can also view parking availability via an app on your I
phones and Android smart phone.

Session One: June 2 – June 4, 2014
Short Course: “Introduction to Structural Equation Methods”
Instructor: Dr. Larry J. Williams, Wayne State University
Course Summary
The Introduction to Structural Equation Methods Short Course provides (a) introductory
coverage of confirmatory latent variable techniques, including confirmatory factor analysis and
structural equation methods with latent variables, (b) discussion of special issues related to the
application of these techniques in organizational research, and (c) a comparison of these
techniques with traditional analytical approaches. This Short Course will contain a balance of
lecture and hands-on data analysis with examples and assignments, and emphasis will be
placed on the application of SEM techniques to organizational research problems.
Course Outline & Objectives
Participants will:
 Develop skills required to conduct confirmatory latent variable data analysis, based on
currently accepted practices, involving topics and research issues common to
organizational research.
 Learn the conceptual and statistical assumptions underlying confirmatory latent variable
analysis.
 Learn how to implement data analysis techniques using software programs for
confirmatory modeling. Special emphasis will also be placed on the generation and
interpretation of results using the contemporary software programs LISREL and MPlus.
 Learn how latent variable techniques can be applied to contemporary research issues in
organizational research.
 Learn how the application of current latent variable techniques in organizational
research differs from traditional techniques used in this literature

Short Course: “Advanced SEM I: Measurement Invariance, Latent Growth Modeling and
Non-recursive Modeling”
Instructor: Dr. Robert Vandenberg, University of Georgia
Course Summary
The short course covers three advanced structural equation modeling (SEM) topics: (a) testing
measurement invariance; (b) latent growth modeling; and (c) evaluating reciprocal relationships
in SEM. The instructor uses the Mplus SEM software package throughout the workshop. To get
maximum benefit from this short course, the participants should have the full version of Mplus
loaded on their laptops (www.statmodel.com) and bring the laptop with them to the course.
The instructor lectures about half of the time with the remaining time devoted to having
participants run examples with actual data provided by the instructor. Participants go home
with usable examples and syntax. The measurement invariance testing section focuses on the
procedures as outlined in the Vandenberg and Lance (2000) Organizational Research Methods
article. Namely, we will cover the 9 invariance tests starting with the tests of equal variancecovariance matrices and ending with tests of latent mean differences. Other outcomes of
covering these tests are how to use Mplus syntax, how to do multi-sample analyses, and also
how to test hypothesized (a priori) group mean differences but using the latent means of the
latent variables within each group. Thus, the first section accomplishes much more than the
just the measurement invariance tests. The workshop then advances to operationalizing latent
growth models within the SEM framework. Essentially, this is how to use one's longitudinal
data to actually capture the dynamic processes in one's theory. Thus, it is very, very different
than cross-sectional tests where one is stuck in one point in time. Again, this is what goes on at
the surface level, but the participant will also be exposed to modeling how the change in one
variable impacts change in another. We will also use mixed modeling. And at the end of it, I
introduce the participants to latent profile modeling with latent growth curves. The final piece
is the testing of models with feedback loops via an SEM-Journal article by Edward Rigdon
(1995). We will go through his 4 different models and what they mean.

Short Course: “Mediation and Moderation”
Instructor: Dr. Mark Gavin, West Virginia University
Mediators and moderators are pervasive in organizational research. As theoretical frameworks
advance, the specification and testing of mechanisms (or mediators) through which the effects
of one variable on another are transmitted has become a central concern. Another primary
concern of theory development is the specification and testing of boundary conditions (or
moderators) that affect the nature (significance, magnitude and/or direction) of the
relationship between variables. More recently there has been increased attention on the
theoretical specification of models that incorporate both mediation and moderation, facilitated
in no small part by advancements made in the analytical approaches for testing such effects.
This course will provide an overview of the conceptual, methodological and statistical issues
surrounding the investigation of mediators and moderators, as well as their combined
dynamics. The short course will feature both lecture and hands-on components, including
CARMA 2014 Summer Short Courses: Wayne State University
Page 16
analytical demonstrations and exercises that focus on the testing (primarily using SPSS) of these
effects.

Short Course: "Advanced SEM II: Missing Data Issue in SEM, Multi-Level SEM and Latent
Interactions"
Instructor: Dr. Robert Vandenberg, University of Georgia
Course Summary
The workshop covers three advanced structural equation modeling (SEM) topics: (a) multilevel
modeling; (b) latent interactions; and (c) dealing with missing data in SEM applications. The
instructor uses the Mplus SEM software package throughout the workshop. To get maximum
benefit from this short course, the participants should have the full version of Mplus loaded on
their laptops (www.statmodel.com) and bring the laptop with them to the course. The
instructor lectures about half of the time with the remaining time devoted to having
participants run examples with actual data provided by the instructor. Participants go home
with usable examples and syntax. The multilevel modeling section starts out using observed

variables only, and no latent variables. Parallels are drawn in this approach and the other
packages such as HLM. The main purpose here, though, is to teach participants the basics of
multilevel modeling such as aggregation, cross-level interactions and cross-level direct effects.
The workshop advances to using latent variables in a multi-level environment. Particular focus
will be on multilevel confirmatory factor analysis whereby separate measurement models are
estimated at both the within and between levels. The topic then switches to multilevel path
modeling with emphasis on between vs. within modeling, and the estimation of cross-level
interaction and direct effects among latent variables. The latent interaction section focuses on
specifying interactions among latent variables in SEM models. This section starts out with a
review of basic interaction testing within a regression environment (using Mplus). From this
foundation, participants will move into specifying interactions among latent variables and how
to test hypotheses with interactions. And from this point, the workshop will move into
moderated-mediation but from the SEM perspective. The final segment of the short course
deals with missing data. A great deal of time at the beginning is spent on missing data patterns
and why they occur. The workshop then moves into the old methods of dealing with missing
data such as listwise and pairwise deletion, and mean or regression based imputation. The
disadvantages of those methods are discussed. We then move into covering the newer
methods for dealing with missing data, multiple imputation, and full information maximum
likelihood. Participants will be showed how to utilize the latter methods in Mplus.
Short Course: “Meta-Analysis and Systematic Reviews”

Short Course: "Alternatives to Difference Scores: Polynomial Regression and Response Surface
Methodology"
Instructor: Dr. Jeff Edwards, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Course Summary
For decades, difference scores have been used in studies of fit, similarity, and agreement in organizational
research. Despite their widespread use, difference scores have numerous methodological problems. These
problems can be overcome by using polynomial regression and response surface methodology to test
hypotheses that motivate the use of difference scores. These methods avoid problems with difference scores,
capture the effects difference scores are intended to represent, and can examine relationships that are more
complex than those implied by difference scores. This short course will review problems with difference
scores, introduce polynomial regression and response surface methodology, and illustrate the application of
these methods using empirical examples. Specific topics to be addressed include: (a) types of difference
scores; (b) questions that difference scores are intended to address; (c) problems with difference scores; (d)
polynomial regression as an alternative to difference scores; (e) testing constraints imposed by difference
scores; (f) analyzing quadratic regression equations using response surface methodology; (g) difference scores
as dependent variables; and (h) answers to frequently asked questions.

Short Course: “The Craft of Writing Qualitative Research”
Instructor: Dr. Karen Golden-Biddle, Boston University
Course Description
This CARMA Short Course concerns the theory and craft of writing work that based on qualitative data for
academic publication. Our focus on writing will emphasize the how as well as what of our written products.
We will come to understand writing conventions, strategies and practice; how puzzles and complications are
developed; how theorized storylines are crafted for the genre of academic journals; and the critical necessity
of, and skills required, to seek and hear feedback and to revise one’s manuscript. This CARMA Short Course
will be conducted as a “studio” in which we use our time together to collectively examine and experiment with
what is involved in academic writing in much the same way as actors work together to hone their craft. We
will “do” writing as we learn about the craft of writing. Toward that goal, we will have morning class sessions
in which we will digest readings and practice writing elements. After lunch, I will hold writing consults during
which I will engage with class participants’ work on an individual basis. Although focused on an individual’s
work, these consults are very much community in spirit – indeed sharing our work is an essential part of
writing our work. Thus, these writing consults will be open on a voluntary basis to all enrolled in the class.
Thus, the success of our time together will depend heavily on preparation for the morning session as well as
bringing a willingness to share our work, and do writing as well as talk about writing.

Biography
Karen Golden-Biddle is Senior Associate Dean, Everett W. Lord Distinguished Faculty Scholar and Professor of
Organizational Behavior at Boston University School of Management. She studies organizational and system
transformation, and is especially interested in highly professionalized settings such as healthcare and
universities with socially significant missions.
Currently, she is integrating her work on discovery processes in research with her ethnographic studies of
change to theorize how people in organizations come to collectively create and sustain desired change, e.g.
the creation and enactment of innovative care delivery models that foster high quality patient-centric care and
better patient outcomes.
Her latest book (Golden-Biddle and Dutton, 2012) brings together a diverse and talented group of
organizational scholars to examine the creation of desired societal change in the domains of poverty and low
wage work; environment and sustainability; and health care access and innovation. A special section also
profiles individual and collective change agency. Information on this book can be found at:
