"Methodological Issues in Aging Research" is the first volume in
the "Notre Dame Series on Quantitative Methodology." This new
series provides practical training on the latest quantitative
methods used in social and behavioral research. Each volume
features contributions from leading experts in state-of-the-art
techniques applicable to a selected substantive topic.
The first series volume provides researchers with innovative
techniques for the collection and analyses of data focusing on
aging and lifespan development. The book addresses such techniques
as structural equation modeling, latent class analysis,
hierarchical linear growth curve modeling, dynamical systems
analysis, multivariate Rasch models, survival analysis, multilevel
modeling, and quantitative genetic methods. These new techniques
provide:
*better estimates of the direct effect of environmental or
treatment effects and the dynamic pattern of genetic and
environmental influences on adult development;
*more precise predictions of outcomes which in turn increase the
diagnostic power of test instruments; and
*the potential for developing new treatments that take advantage of
the intrinsic dynamics of the course of a disease or age-related
change to enhance treatment.
"Methodological Issues in Aging Research" appeals to advanced
students and researchers in lifespan development, gerontology,
health psychology, and other fields related to human development.
It can be used as a main or supplemental text for advanced courses
related to developmental research methods.
