Workshop
New methods of analyzing longitudinal data: Within- and Between-person modelling
Facilitators: Dr Loes Keijsers
(Utrecht University, The Netherlands & Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany)
In the one-day workshop, Loes Keijsers will provide hands-on tools to get the most out of
longitudinal data.
In the morning, she will describe the need and methods for analyzing development and
associations at the within-person level for providing better answers to theoretical questions
regarding human development. She will also explain the background and details of statistical
techniques, such as latent growth curve modeling to study development, and multi-level structural
equation modeling to assess within-person associations.
In the afternoon, there will be ample opportunity to practice these techniques in Mplus or R. A
basic understanding of regression analyses and preferably structural equation modeling is helpful.
Participants are asked to bring their own laptop and install an Mplus demo version or R. Data can
be provided, but analyzing your own data is also an option.
