Executive Functioning as a Prospective Moderator of the Relations between Maltreatment in Childhood and Externalizing Symptoms and Wellbeing in Young Adulthood
… The current study used a person-centered, latent growth-curve modeling approach to identify trajectories of (a) externalizing symptoms and (b) subjective wellbeing from late adolescence through young adulthood, determine whether types of childhood maltreatment and domains of EF are …

LAWFUL PATTERNS OF EARLY ATTACHMENT DISORGANIZATION ARE RELATED TO EXTERNALIZING BEHAVIORS ACROSS CHILDHOOD
… and directionality of change in disorganization, latent growth curve modeling was conducted and showed overall main effects of continuous attachment disorganization as a precursor for heightened externalizing behaviors across middle childhood – specifically for male children. To further …

Affective development from late childhood to late adolescence: Trajectories of mean-level change in negative and positive affect
… psychological wellbeing. The present study used latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) to map trajectories of subjective mean-level negative (NA) and positive affect (PA) from late childhood to late adolescence in a sample of 652 community youth age 10 to 18 years (56.4% female) recruited in 3rd, …

Parents, Peers, and Developmental Trajectories toward Crime.
… drug use and arrest. Analysis generated through latent growth curve modeling show that although parental influence appears to decrease significantly later in life, parental attachment delays the formation of delinquent peer networks, thereby indirectly reducing the total number of arrests. Even …

Gender differences in symptom change for court-placed youth in residential treatment : a latent growth curve analysis
… to capture symptom severity every four weeks. Latent Growth Curve Modeling (LGCM) was implemented to obtain growth trajectories of symptom change over time. The hypothesis that females would enter residential treatment with greater psychopathological symptoms was supported; however, no gender …

A latent growth curve model from the perspective of a structural equation model
Latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) is a multivariate technique suited for explaining change over time. In this dissertation, the theoretical background needed to address the specification and estimation of a latent growth curve model from the perspective of a structural equation model (SEM), is …

Trajectories Of Emotion Regulation Into Middle Childhood: An Investigation Of Attachment, Temperament, And Language
… regulation development over time. By utilizing latent growth curve modeling, the current study aimed to extend understanding of how child-centered factors (temperament and language skill) and socio-demographic factors (gender, ethnicity, and family resources) affect the development of emotion …

Academic socialization and the transition to elementary school : parents' conceptions of school readiness, practices, and children's academic achievement trajectories
… and general knowledge was examined using latent growth curve modeling. Parents' school readiness beliefs predicted children's beginning academic achievement and growth over time. Parents' transition practices partially mediated the relationship between their own readiness beliefs and …

Dynamic Relations Within and Between Early Communication Proficiencies and Key Skill Elements' Growth Trajectories of Infants and Toddlers
… targeted intervention. The present study applied latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) in order to examine predictive relations within and between ECI key skill elements’ proficiencies and growth, extending previous research limited to the study of early expressive communication development measured …

Longitudinal Associations among Adolescent Socioeconomic Status, Delay Discounting, and Substance Use
… risks. This prospective longitudinal study used latent growth curve modeling (GCM) to examine the contributions of SES on adolescent delay discounting and substance use in a sample of 167 adolescents (52% male). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to compute SES factor scores across three …

Parenting Self-Efficacy and Dyadic Autonomic Responses During Parent-Child Conflict
… 48% racial/ethnic minority). In Study 1, I used latent growth curve modeling to examine parental RSA trajectories, demonstrating that parenting satisfaction—the affective component of parenting self-efficacy reflecting a sense of fulfillment—predicts changes in the trajectory of physiological …

Parental Involvement during the College Transition: Trajectories and Associations with Academic Success, Well-Being, and Individuation
… first year. Through this design and the use of latent growth curve modeling (LGM) in Mplus (Muthén & Muthén, 2010), the current study estimated trajectories (intercepts, linear slopes, and quadratic slopes) of parent involvement, student outcomes, and their joint associations. Fixed and random …

Disentangling universal and cultural-specific risks to mental health among Asian Americans: A multi-site longitudinal investigation
… their first six months of college. Results: Latent growth curve modeling and longitudinal SEM indicated that development-based conflict remained stable over time and was unrelated to internalizing symptoms; however, greater conflict predicted higher externalizing symptom levels. …

Health Consequences of Sexual Hookups for First-Year College Women: A One-Year Prospective Investigation
… and 40% during the year-long study. Multivariate latent growth curve modeling showed that increases in the probability of oral sex (performed) and vaginal sex hookup behavior during the academic year were associated with increases in perceived stress and decreases in positive affect. Compared to …

By employing MANOVAs, ANOVAs, Latent Growth Curve Modeling, and Pearson correlation coefficients, the data were then analyzed to ascertain differences between groups and within groups for all tests and constructs measured. The results showed that the participants in the reading …
