这一系列文章探讨了当代方法如何与发展观点和假设相结合并有效地用于测试发展观点和假设。作者回顾了测量和尺度等同、多层次变化模型、增长混合模型、纵向中介模型和生存模型方面的一些最新进展，并说明了如何将这些方法应用于发育数据。在本介绍中，我们将数据框作为有用的启发式方法，用于评估给定研究方法的概念假设和含义，并选择适当对齐的统计模型来测量、变化和个体间差异。这些文章共同提供了易于理解的介绍、插图和讨论，说明如何将最近的一些方法创新应用于发展研究。
This collection of articles explores how contemporary methods interface with and can be used effectively to test developmental perspectives and hypotheses. The authors review some of the latest advancements in measurement and scale equating, multilevel models of change, growth mixture models, longitudinal models of mediation, and survival models and illustrate how these methods can be applied to developmental data. In this introduction, we present the data-box as a useful heuristic for assessing the conceptual assumptions and implications of a given research approach and selecting the appropriately aligned statistical models for measurement, change, and interindividual differences. Together, the articles provide accessible introductions, illustrations, and discussions of how some of the recent methodological innovations might be applied in the study of development.
