In this revision of the 1999 edition, scientists at the Oregon Research Institute, Eugene, introduce the statistical methodology of latent variable growth curve modeling (LGM) for studying change. This approach is compared with longitudinal panel models more commonly used in the social and behavioral sciences. Examples with graphical representations illustrate applications using latent growth structural equation modeling software programs (LISREL, EQS, Mplus, Amos). The companion CD-ROM contains sample program input, data, and output files for the examples presented, of particular value to researchers in specifying and testing their own models. Graduate level statistics is recommended. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to latent variable growth curve modeling (LGM) for analyzing repeated measures. It presents the statistical basis for LGM and its various methodological extensions, including a number of practical examples of its use. It is designed to take advantage of the reader’s familiarity with analysis of variance and structural equation modeling (SEM) in introducing LGM techniques. Sample data, syntax, input and output, are provided for EQS, Amos, LISREL, and Mplus on the book’s CD. Throughout the book, the authors present a variety of LGM techniques that are useful for many different research designs, and numerous figures provide helpful diagrams of the examples.
 
Updated throughout, the second edition features three new chapters–growth modeling with ordered categorical variables, growth mixture modeling, and pooled interrupted time series LGM approaches. Following a new organization, the book now covers the development of the LGM, followed by chapters on multiple-group issues (analyzing growth in multiple populations, accelerated designs, and multi-level longitudinal approaches), and then special topics such as missing data models, LGM power and Monte Carlo estimation, and latent growth interaction models. The model specifications previously included in the appendices are now available on the CD so the reader can more easily adapt the models to their own research.
 
This practical guide is ideal for a wide range of social and behavioral researchers interested in the measurement of change over time, including social, developmental, organizational, educational, consumer, personality and clinical psychologists, sociologists, and quantitative methodologists, as well as for a text on latent variable growth curve modeling or as a supplement for a course on multivariate statistics. A prerequisite of graduate level statistics is recommended.
