Use the multi-rater latent growth curve model when estimating growth from longitudinal multi-rater data¶

Description¶

The article recommends its model for researchers analyzing longitudinal data in which multiple raters evaluate psychological or social-emotional constructs. Rather than relying on a single rater, the approach removes unique rater variance at each timepoint and models growth of the shared perception. The authors state the model "shows promise for use by researchers who want to estimate growth based on longitudinal multi-rater data."

Design Implications¶

Requirements¶

Longitudinal multi-rater data on the construct of interest

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

students rated by multiple raters on social-emotional constructs

Target Learning Goals¶
