Beschreib kurz, was mit nested data gemeint ist und warum es so wichtig ist
Using aggregation, Lina might find that on average, teams with a high level of job satisfaction also have a high level of proactive behavior overall, mediated by positive mood in the team. However, she can no longer account for her original »contagion« idea and the influence of co-workers’ proactive behavior on individual proactive behavior
Was ist ein Cross-Sectional Design?
Cross-sectional studies take a snapshot of a work situation. They measure all variables for each subject at one moment in time.
Was ist ein Longitudinal / Panel Research Design?
Longitudinal or panel research designs put space between different variables, with the goal to establish sequences of events and enable analyses of changes over time
If a research design includes only two measurement waves, is it considered a longitudinal design?
No, note that this should include at least three, and ideally more than three measurement points.
Was ist attrition?
Losing participants along the way during a longitudinal study is called attrition.
Was sind Experience Sampling or Diary Study Designs?
