Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS

The third edition of "Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS" demonstrates how to use the multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in IBM SPSS Versions 25-27. It includes annotated screenshots with relevant output, diagnostic tools, data management issues, and related graphics. The book covers conceptual and methodological issues, SPSS data management techniques, multilevel modeling, extensions of the basic two-level model, and troubleshooting techniques. It also discusses models for investigating individual and organizational change, multivariate outcomes, and cross-classified and multiple membership data structures. The book is thoroughly updated to reflect IBM SPSS Versions 26-27, includes an introduction to fixed-effects regression, and covers additional topics such as models with binary and ordinal outcomes, models with cross-classified and multiple membership data structures, model checking for improvement, and alternatives for dealing with missing data and sample weights. It is an essential text for graduate-level courses on multilevel, longitudinal, latent variable modeling, multivariate statistics, or advanced quantitative techniques, and is also appealing to researchers in these fields.

Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS, Third Edition, is a comprehensive guide that demonstrates the use of multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in IBM SPSS Versions 25-27. The book is designed to provide readers with a step-by-step understanding of these techniques, with annotated screenshots and relevant output to facilitate their navigation through the program. Throughout the text, diagnostic tools, data management issues, and related graphics are introduced to enhance the reader's understanding of the subject matter.

SPSS commands are used to showcase the menu structure and facilitate model building, while annotated syntax is also provided for those who prefer this approach. Extensive examples are included throughout the book, illustrating the logic of model development and evaluation in the context of the research questions and the steps involved in conducting the analyses.

The book begins with an introduction to the conceptual and methodological issues associated with multilevel and longitudinal modeling. It then discusses SPSS data management techniques that are essential for working with multilevel, longitudinal, or cross-classified data sets. The subsequent chapters delve into the basics of multilevel modeling, covering topics such as developing a multilevel model, extending the basic two-level model to include three-level models, models for binary and ordinal outcomes, and troubleshooting techniques for common programming and modeling problems.

Models for investigating individual and organizational change are developed in subsequent chapters, followed by models with multivariate outcomes and models with cross-classified and multiple membership data structures. The book concludes with thoughts about ways to expand on the various multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques introduced and issues such as missing data and sample weights that may arise during the modeling process.

By utilizing the comprehensive coverage and practical examples provided in Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS, Third Edition, readers will gain a deep understanding of the multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in IBM SPSS and their applications in research. Whether they are researchers, practitioners, or students, this book will serve as a valuable resource for advancing their knowledge and skills in this field.
