Results from Studies 2 and 3 consistently showed that, contrary to the stereotype, Chinese only children reported lower levels of loneliness than their counterparts with siblings. Additionally, open-ended responses from the adolescent participants in Study 3 provided hints about the situations that provoke their loneliness.

Structural Equation Modeling A Multidisciplinary Journal · 2014-04-03 · 14 citations

The analysis of longitudinal data collected from non-exchangeable dyads presents a challenge for applied researchers for various reasons. This paper introduces the Dyadic Curve-of-Factors Model (D-COFM) which extends the Curve-of-Factors Model (COFM) proposed by McArdle (1988) for use with non-exchangeable dyadic data. The D-COFM overcomes problems with modeling composite scores across time and instead permits examination of the growth in latent constructs over time. The D-COFM also appropriatel…
