Dyadic Data Analysis

Dyadic Data Analysis

Interpersonal phenomena such as attachment conflict person perception learning and influence have traditionally been studied by examining individuals in isolation which falls short of capturing their truly interpersonal nature. This book offers state-of-the-art solutions to this age-old problem by presenting methodological and data-analytic approaches useful in investigating processes that take place among dyads: couples coworkers parent and child teacher and student or doctor and patient to name just a few. Rich examples from psychology and across the behavioral and social sciences help build the researcher's ability to conceptualize relationship processes; model and test for actor effects partner effects and relationship effects; and model and control for the statistical interdependence that can exist between partners. The companion website provides clarifications elaborations corrections and data and files for each chapter. | Dyadic Data Analysis
