An extended mixed-effects framework for meta-analysis
Standard methods for meta‐analysis are limited to pooling tasks in which a single effect size is estimated from a set of independent studies. However, this setting can be too restrictive for modern meta‐analytical applications. In this contribution, we illustrate a general framework for meta‐analysis based on linear mixed‐effects models, where pote...
Approaches for Specifying the Level-1 Error Structure When Synthesizing Single-Case Data
© 2017, © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Multilevel modeling has been utilized for combining single-case experimental design (SCED) data assuming simple level-1 error structures. The purpose of this study is to compare various multilevel analysis approaches for handling potential complexity in the level-1 error structure within SCED data, includ...
Helping your partner with chronic pain : the importance of helping motivation, received social support, and Its timeline...
Objective. Like all intentional acts, social support provision varies with respect to its underlying motives. Greater autonomous or volitional motives (e.g., enjoyment, full commitment) to help individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) are associated with greater well-being benefits for the latter, as indexed by improved satisfaction of their psychologi...
Lower-level mediation with binary measures
In recent literature, researchers have put a lot of time and effort in expanding mediation to multilevel settings. Unfortunately, such extensions are often limited to continuous settings, whereas research on multilevel mediation with binary mediators and outcomes remains rather sparse. Additionally, in lower-level mediation, the effect of the lower...
Understanding and misunderstanding group mean centering: a commentary on Kelley et al.'s dangerous practice
Kelley et al. argue that group-mean-centering covariates in multilevel models is dangerous, since-they claim-it generates results that are biased and misleading. We argue instead that what is dangerous is Kelley et al.'s unjustified assault on a simple statistical procedure that is enormously helpful, if not vital, in analyses of multilevel data. K...
The impact of response-guided baseline phase extensions on treatment effect estimates
BACKGROUND: When developmental disabilities researchers use multiple-baseline designs they are encouraged to delay the start of an intervention until the baseline stabilizes or until preceding cases have responded to intervention. Using ongoing visual analyses to guide the timing of the start of the intervention can help to resolve potential ambigu...
Helping motivation and well-being of chronic pain couples: a daily diary study
Receiving support from a romantic partner may yield benefits for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs), but may also carry unintended side effects. The conditions under which partner support provision yields (mal) adaptive effects deserve greater attention. Grounded in Self-determination theory, partners may provide help for autonomous or volitional...
