Using a two-wave longitudinal design with a 12-month interval, we assessed the impact of Eysenckian psychoticism on the emotional well-being of teenagers (N = 660). The mean age of the participants was 12 years at Time 1. At both times, participants completed the Eysenck psychoticism measure as well as a number of measures of positive and negative affect derived from the PANAS-X, namely, hostil...

We design an elaborated, multi-dimensional instrument ...

During the last two decades, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has evolved from a statistical technique for insiders to an established valuable tool for a broad scientific public. This class of analyses has much to offer, but at what price? This paper provides an overview on SEM, its underlying ideas, potential applications and current software. Furthermore, it discusses avoidable pitfalls as ...

The literature on network management is extensive. However, it generally explores network structures, neglecting the impact of management strategies.
