2011 DATIC summer workshops to be offered on HLM, SEM, and Dyadic Analysis

[Mccoach, D. Betsy]

There will be three week-long DATIC summer workshops offered during June 2011 on hierarchical linear modeling, structural equation modeling, and dyadic analysis at the University of Connecticut. The cost of each workshop is $1000. Additional details about the workshops and registration are available on the DATIC website, www.datic.uconn.edu . The Dyadic Analysis workshop is already sold out, but you can complete the registration form to be placed on the waiting list.  The other two workshops still have space available.  If you’re interested in attending, go to www.datic.uconn.edu to fill out an online registration form.

Hierarchical Linear Modeling (June 13–17, 2011)

Instructors: D. Betsy McCoach & Ann A. O’Connell

Each HLM workshop covers basics and applications of multilevel modeling with extensions to more complex designs. Participants will learn how to analyze both organizational and longitudinal (growth curve) data using multilevel modeling and to interpret the results from their analyses. Although the workshop does not require any prior knowledge or experience with multilevel modeling, participants are expected to have a working knowledge of multiple regression as well as SPSS (or SAS). Analyses will be demonstrated using the software HLMv6. Instruction will consist of lectures, computer workshops, and individualized consultations. The workshop emphasizes practical applications and places minimal emphasis on statistical theory.

Structural Equation Modeling (June 20–24, 2011)

Instructors: David A. Kenny & D. Betsy McCoach

The workshop on Structural Equation Modeling covers basics of path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and latent variable modeling. Using AMOS Graphics, participants will learn how to build, evaluate, and revise a structural equation modeling. Although the workshop does not require any prior knowledge or experience with multilevel modeling, participants are expected to have a working knowledge of multiple regression.

Dyadic Analysis (June 27–July 1, 2011)

Instructors: David A. Kenny & Randi Garcia

The workshop on dyadic data analysis will focus on data where both members of a dyad are measured on the same set of variables. Among the topics to be covered are the measurement of nonindependence, the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, the analysis of distinguishable and indistinguishable dyads, mediation and moderation of dyadic effects, and over-time analyses of dyadic data. The software package used in the workshop will be SPSS, but there will be discussion of other packages (e.g., HLM) and structural equation modeling. Although the workshop does not require any prior knowledge or experience with multilevel modeling, participants are expected to have a working knowledge of multiple regression or analysis of variance, as well as SPSS. The dyadic analysis workshop is already sold out, but you can register online to be placed on the waiting list.
