Individual pathways of change

About this book

"This is an outstanding resource for researchers studying the dynamics of learning and development. The chapters are a well-balanced mix of applied and technical treatments of the latest methodological thinking in, among other things, interindividual dynamics, time series, and state space approaches to the study of individual and interpersonal interactions. If you are interested in longitudinally intensive research designs or are looking for models to describe how individual-level change over time can be modeled, this book is a great reference.--Phillip K. Wood, Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia" "This is an exciting book! New doors are being opened to theory and methodology in psychological research and social sciences research in general. A new paradigm is being developed concerning research based on intraindividual variation. When the methods presented in this text are widely adopted, generalizability will be on a much stronger footing. For those keeping up to date with psychology as a science, this book is a must.--Alexander von Eye, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing" "This is an important book that presents advanced techniques for analyzing intraindividual change and dynamics. The editors have integrated an excellent collection of chapters that should be of great interest to researchers studying learning, development, and human dynamics. I am delighted to see this outstanding volume.--Emilio Ferrer, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology, University of California, Davis" "Although the importance of studying intraindividual variation from a developmental systems perspective has been occasionally recognized over the years, only recently have advances in quantitative methodology allowed for the meaningful application of these techniques in practice. Leading researchers in the field provide the first comprehensive explication of this new generation of methods for s.
