An evaluation of parameter estimation when using multilevel structural equation modeling for mediation analysis
… or nested data structures requires the use of multilevel modeling techniques. One such multilevel modeling technique is multilevel structural equation modeling (MLSEM). While estimation of indirect effect parameters and standard errors based on the conventional multilevel model (MMM) has been …

The Relationship between Household Economic Resources and Youth Academic Performance in Ghana: A Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling
… and math and English scores.</p><p>Using multilevel structural equation modeling techniques, the study does not find strong evidence to support the hypothesized direct relationship between economic resources and educational outcomes. However, the study finds strong evidence that parents' …

The Association of Microbreaks with Work Performance: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
… results of 100 participants, using unconflated multilevel modeling I found that higher work engagement covaried with higher personal initiative. Using multilevel structural equation modeling and focusing on between-person relationships, I found that autonomy need satisfaction during microbreaks …

A Longitudinal Investigation of the Mental Health Benefits of Physical Activity Among Graduate Students
… completed three surveys over a semester. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to analyze within- and between-person variation. Increased levels of work stressors were associated with increased levels of mental health problems. Physical activity was not associated with improved …

Shifting the focus: Antecedents and consequences of work-related rumination among traditionally scheduled and shift workers
… per day over a 28-day survey period. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, I found evidence that work-related rumination may operate as a mechanistic pathway linking work demands to recovery indicators. Additionally, evidence from this dissertation suggests that problem-solving …

Leadership for learning and teacher self-efficacy as the antecedents of teacher collaboration, instructional quality, intended turnover, and equitable teaching practice
… paths. The four-fold cross-validation multilevel factor analysis of study two establishes a leadership for learning measurement model and suggests the conceptual distinctions in how individual teachers, their collective body, and principals experience leadership for learning practices …

Does better sleep set the stage for a physically active and progressive workday? Considerations across the daily cycle of rest, commuting, and work
… from work at least 15 minutes each way. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, which enabled modeling at the within- and between-person level of analysis, I found that daily engagement in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity positively related to daily work goals progress. …

Exploring daily-level characteristics of the cannabis-exercise relationship
Physical inactivity is a growing public health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 53.3% of U.S. adults meet the recommendation for aerobic physical activity, and alarmingly, only 23.2% meet the recommendation for both aerobic and muscle-training activity. …
