1 MODELS OF VARIABILITY VS. MODELS OF TRAIT CHANGE How well do Fit Indices Distinguish Between the Two? M Conference University of Connecticut, May 2-22, 2 bkeller2@asu.edu INTRODUCTION More and more researchers in social sciences are interested in studying the longitudinal course of constructs. It important for us to know which type of change process best characterizes the construct. 2 M Conference May 2-22, 2
2 INTRODUCTION Substantive researchers are often interested in whether the longitudinal course of a construct is best described by.... Stability 2. Variability. Trait change. A combination of different processes (Eid, Courvoisier, & Lischetzke, 2) RESEARCH GOALS To determine how well can we distinguish between variability and trait change processes based on common fit statistics. To determine what conditions can make it difficult to distinguish between the two types of processes. M Conference May 2-22, 2
3 TRAIT CHANGE VS. VARIABILITY MAKING A DISTINCTION Following Nesselroade (99) and Eid (2) definitions we make the following distinction:. Processes of variability involves a short-term, potentially reversible fluctuation around a fixed construct (i.e., trait) that is invariant across the span of measurement. 2. Processes of trait change involves a long-term, potentially irreversible modification of a construct that allows for change across the span of measurement. M Conference May 2-22, 2
4 MAKING A DISTINCTION Processes of variability oscillates around a set point. Processes of trait change follows a long-term trajectory. They answer two distinctly different conceptual questions. MAKING A DISTINCTION Trait Change Variability 8 M Conference May 2-22, 2
5 MAKING A DISTINCTION An example of variability process: Positive affect (or other mood states) can be viewed as a process of variability. I have some "trait" value of positive affect and I fluctuate around that value depending on the day (e.g., I dented my car, I would have lower positive affect as compared to my average, trait, level). 9 MAKING A DISTINCTION An example of trait change process: Math ability of children over time can be seen as a trait change process. I start with some baseline math ability and over time it (hopefully) grows and my math ability increases. M Conference May 2-22, 2
6 MAKING A DISTINCTION In our simulation models we used... Multiple-indicator latent growth curve model as prototypical model for measuring trait changes. Latent state-trait models as prototypical models for measuring state-variability processes. LATENT STATE-TRAIT (LST) MODELS 2 M Conference May 2-22, 2
7 LATENT STATE-TRAIT (LST) THEORY Latent models are based on latent state-trait (LST) theory developed in Steyer, Ferring, & Schmitt (992). In classical test theory we decompose a score into two parts: Observed score = True score + Error In LST theory we extend this by decomposing the true score further: True score = Trait + State residual SINGLE-TRAIT MULTI-STATE Y SR Y2 Y Y2 SR2 trait Y2 Y SR Y2 Y M Conference May 2-22, 2

9 LATENT STATE-TRAIT (LST) THEORY We have three main coefficients of interest in LST theory:. Consistency (CO) 2. Occasion-specificity (OS). Reliability (Rel) CONSISTENCY Consistency is a measurement of the individual differences explained by the person's intrinsic trait. CO(Y it ) = λ 2 i Var(trait) Var(Y it ) 8 M Conference May 2-22, 2
10 CONSISTENCY SR Y Y2 λ = Y λ2 SR2 Y2 λ λ = λ2 trait Y2 λ SR Y Y2 λ = λ2 λ Y 9 OCCASION-SPECIFICITY Occasion-specificity is a measurement of the individual differences explained by the situation and/or person by situation interaction (note that these are inseparable by definition). OS(Y it ) = γ 2 i Var(SR t ) Var(Y it ) 2 M Conference May 2-22, 2
11 OCCASION-SPECIFICITY Y SR Y2 Y SR2 γ = γ2 γ γ = γ2 Y2 trait γ Y2 γ = γ2 Y SR Y2 γ Y 2 RELIABILITY Reliability is a measurement of the individual differences that are not explained by measurement error. Rel(Y it ) = Var(ε it ) Var(Y it ) = OS(Y it ) + CO(Y it ) 22 M Conference May 2-22, 2

16 MODELING TRAIT CHANGE A Previous study (Geiser, Keller, Lockhart, Eid, Cole, & Koch) had shown analytically that non-invariant LST models can fit trait change data quite well under certain conditions (i.e., LST models can mask a trait change process).

18 TRAIT CHANGE VS. VARIABILITY Properly specified LST models with invariant parameters should not fit trait change data in theory. Under some conditions these models were hard to distinguish from LGCs based on fit. Therefore, we wanted to know more about the conditions under which LGC and LST models (with or without invariant parameters) are difficult to distinguish. SIMULATION STUDY M Conference May 2-22, 2
19 HYPOTHESES LST models can fit growth data closely if:. They are specified with non-invariant parameters. 2. Sample size is small.. The number of time points is small.. The growth factor variance is small. SIMULATION STUDY Four-step procedure:. Generate data using LST-LGC hybrid model (, replications). 2. Analyze the data with population model.. Analyze the data with STMS model with non-invariant loadings and intercepts model (configural model).. Analyze the data with STMS model with time-invariant loadings and intercepts (strong invariance). 8 M Conference May 2-22, 2

23 SIMULATION STUDY Special cases to note:. Perfect stability: No trait change, no state variability 2. Perfect variability: No trait change, but state variability. Perfect trait change: Trait change, but no state variability SIMULATION STUDY We looked at two measures of fit:. Chi-square test of model fit. 2.

32 CONCLUSION HYPOTHESES LST models can fit growth data closely if:. They are specified with non-invariant parameters. 2. Sample size is small. (For chi-square test of model fit). The number of time points is small.. The growth factor variance is small. M Conference May 2-22, 2
33 CONCLUSION LST models are harder to distinguish from growth models when:. The number of waves is three or less. 2. Sample size is small. (How small is small? It is very dependent on the number of time points). Non-invariant loadings and intercepts are allowed in the LST model.. Slope factor variance is around % of the intercept factor variance.. SR variance is % or more of the explained variance.. Trait mean change is small. RECOMMENDATIONS With sample sizes 2 or more use the chi-square test of model fit. With sample sizes 2 or less use the approximate fit indices. Have as much as time points (more is better). NOTE: Many LST applications used 2 time points, this makes it impossible to explicitly test if your model is a variability process or a trait change process (see Geiser & Lockhart 22). Test for measurement invariance. M Conference May 2-22, 2
34 LIMITATIONS Studied only normally distributed data. Did not vary reliability. Assumed correlation between intercept and slope factors. Only looked at indicators per time point. Studied only linear growth models. Future research: Study non-linear growth models. SPECIAL THANKS Developers of MplusAutomation (without it this simulation couldn t have been done!).
