Path analysis and structural equation modeling with latent variables

I am a social and quantitative psychologist. My research primarily concerns social, psychological, and technological factors that contribute to the development of and change in health-promoting and health-risk behaviors during late adolescence and emerging adulthood. A secondary interest is factors at play in political and religious polarization. I also specialize in latent variable models of observational data, with a particular focus on modeling stability and change in data from traditional and intensive longitudinal designs.
