devpsych-data-analysis

separate

Use when analyzing and reporting results for a Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript. The journal expects analyses that model developmental change correctly — growth-curve/multilevel/SEM, mediation/moderation, measurement invariance — with effect sizes and confidence intervals, JARS-compliant disclosure, and a clear confirmatory/exploratory split. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

When to use

• Fitting growth-curve / multilevel / SEM models
• Mediation/moderation of developmental effects
• Testing measurement invariance
• Reconciling preregistered hypotheses with exploratory findings
• Preparing analysis scripts and data dictionary
• Handling missing data and attrition

When not to use

• Fabricating results
