Workshop Mehrebenenanalysen Dr. Emmanuel Kuntsche, Lausanne

Veranstalter: Wolstein

Title of workshop:
Advanced Methods in Health Psychology – Using multilevel modelling to analyse longitudinal designs and other forms of nested data structures

Content:
In health psychology, researchers are often confronted with nested data structures, which is the case, for example, in diary studies when daily or situational assessments are nested within individuals, or in survey research, when students are nested within classrooms or faculties within schools or universities or when employees are nested within departments or working groups with companies or organizations. Moreover, these school, universities, companies, and organizations themselves are clustered within regions, countries, and continents. The present workshop will provide an introduction in the characteristics of nested data structures and their properties. It will deal with ways to describe the magnitude of nesting. Innovative statistical techniques such as multilevel modeling and latent growth curves will be presented and trained in respect how to deal with and analyze nested data structures. The first part of the workshop aims to provide an overview of typical research questions and different approaches in respect to nested data. The second part will focus on different approaches how to analyze nested data. Practical examples of how to use a given statistical technique based on data provided by the lecturer will serve to apply the presented theoretical knowledge in practice.
