Closing the gap between person-oriented theory and methods / Eun YOUNG MUN in Development and Psychopathology, 22-2 (May 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 22-2 (May 2010) . - p.261-271 Titre : Closing the gap between person-oriented theory and methods Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eun YOUNG MUN, Auteur ; Marsha E. BATES, Auteur ; Evgeny VASCHILLO, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.261-271 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Sterba and Bauer's Keynote Article discusses the blurred distinction between theoretical principles and analytical methods in the person-oriented approach as problematic and review which of the person-oriented principles are testable under the four types of latent variable models for longitudinal data. Although the issue is important, some arbitrariness exists in determining whether a given principle can be tested within each analytic approach. To close the gap between person-oriented theory and methods and to extend the person-oriented approach more generally, it is necessary to embrace both variable-oriented and person-oriented methods because it is not the individual analytic methods but how studies are implemented as a whole that defines the person-oriented approach. Three areas in developmental psychopathology are discussed in which variable-oriented and person-oriented methods can be complementary. The need to better understand the target system using an appropriate person-specific tool is graphically illustrated. Several concepts of dynamic systems such as attractors, phase transitions, and control parameters are illustrated using experimentally perturbed cardiac rhythms (heart rate variability) as an example in the context of translational alcohol research.

A model-based cluster analysis approach to adolescent problem behaviors and young adult outcomes / Eun YOUNG MUN in Development and Psychopathology, 20-1 (Winter 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 20-1 (Winter 2008) . - p.291-318 Titre : A model-based cluster analysis approach to adolescent problem behaviors and young adult outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eun YOUNG MUN, Auteur ; Michael WINDLE, Auteur ; Lisa M. SCHAINKER, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.291-318 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Data from a community-based sample of 1,126 10th- and 11th-grade adolescents were analyzed using a model-based cluster analysis approach to empirically identify heterogeneous adolescent subpopulations from the person-oriented and pattern-oriented perspectives. The model-based cluster analysis is a new clustering procedure to investigate population heterogeneity utilizing finite mixture multivariate normal densities and accordingly to classify subpopulations using more rigorous statistical procedures for the comparison of alternative models. Four cluster groups were identified and labeled multiproblem high-risk, smoking high-risk, normative, and low-risk groups. The multiproblem high risk exhibited a constellation of high levels of problem behaviors, including delinquent and sexual behaviors, multiple illicit substance use, and depressive symptoms at age 16. They had risky temperamental attributes and lower academic functioning and educational expectations at age 15.5 and, subsequently, at age 24 completed fewer years of education, and reported lower levels of physical health and higher levels of continued involvement in substance use and abuse. The smoking high-risk group was also found to be at risk for poorer functioning in young adulthood, compared to the low-risk group. The normative and the low risk groups were, by and large, similar in their adolescent and young adult functioning. The continuity and comorbidity path from middle adolescence to young adulthood may be aided and abetted by chronic as well as episodic substance use by adolescents.
