TLDR
In this article, the Tucker-Damarin-Messick procedure is extended to obtain more precise estimates, and an alternative to the TuckerDamarinMessick Procedure is offered, which solves research and personneldecision problems without estimation of change scores for individuals.Abstract:
Procedures previously recommended by various authors for the estimation of "change" scores, "residual" or "basefree" measures of change, and other kinds of difference scores are examined. A procedure proposed by Lord is extended to obtain more precise estimates, and an alternative to the Tucker-Damarin-Messick procedure is offered. A consideration of the purposes for which change measures have been sought in the past leads to a series of recommended procedures which solve research and personnel-decision problems without estimation of change scores for individuals.read more

A Review and Synthesis of the Measurement Invariance Literature: Suggestions, Practices, and Recommendations for Organizational Research
TL;DR: The establishment of measurement invariance across groups is a logical prerequisite to conducting substantive cross-group comparisons (e.g., tests of group mean differences, invariance of structura, etc.).

Negative affectivity: The disposition to experience aversive emotional states
David Watson,Lee Anna Clark +1 more
TL;DR: A number of apparently diverse personality scales—variously called trait anxiety, neuroticism, ego strength, general maladjustment, repression-sensitization, and social desirability—are reviewed and are shown to be in fact measures of the same stable and pervasive trait.

Simulator Sickness Questionnaire: An enhanced method for quantifying simulator sickness.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a Simulator Sickness Questiomaire (SSQ), derived from the Pensacola Motion Sickness Questionnaire (MSQ) using a series of factor analyses, and illustrates its use in monitoring simulator performance with data from a computerized simulator survey of 3,691 simulator hops.

The Economics of Schooling: Production and Efficiency in Public Schools.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that public and professional interest in education is likely to be short-lived, doomed to dissipate as frustration over the inability of policy to improve school practice sets in.

Naftali Raz,Ulman Lindenberger,Karen M. Rodrigue,Kristen M. Kennedy,Denise Head,Adrienne Williamson,Cheryl L. Dahle,Denis Gerstorf,James D. Acker +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present longitudinal measures of five-year change in the regional brain volumes in healthy adults and assess the average and individual differences in volume changes and the effects of age, sex and hypertension with latent difference score modeling.

On Growth Measurement
TL;DR: This paper presented a derivation of the basic formulas without the unrealistic and restrictive assumption of equality of error variance for initial and final scores, and a simple approximation method for estimating true gains.

A paradox in the interpretation of group comparisons.
TL;DR: It is common practice in behavioral research, and in other areas, to apply the analysis of covariance in the investigation of preexisting natural groups to rule out the possibility that observed differences in the dependent variable might logically be caused by Differences in the independent variable.

Stability and Change in Human Characteristics.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used available results from numerous longitudinal studies in a variety of disciplines to test the Overlap Hypothesis on these studies and found that it provides a method for comparing actual correlations with those expected on the basis of the hereditary environment.
