The Child and Family Research Network (CFRN). is a group of faculty members and researchers from the UNCG community whose scholarship and teaching reflects a core concern for the welfare of children and families. The goal of the Network is to facilitate collaboration among these faculty and other individuals interested in children and families, and to enhance scholarship, teaching, and service within the local, regional, national and international community. The Network provides support for scholarship, teaching, and service through workshops, funding opportunities, scholarly gatherings, and e-resources designed to bring faculty together to enhance their work. Please follow the links to resources that CFRN has assembled that provide easy access to events, graduate courses, community resources, and faculty expertise. The Network is open to faculty members from any discipline. Please email us if you would like to be added to our mailing list - cfrn@uncg.edu. To post events to the CFRN website or email list, please email a PDF or Word document to: cfrn@uncg.edu.
CFRN will be hosting a 5-day Applied Multi level and Structural Equation Modeling Workshop August 5th - August 9th.
The 5 - day workshop is divided into three different but complementary classes.Class 1 (Monday) will focus on multiple regression, Class 2 (Tuesday - Wednesday) focuses on confirmatory factor analysis,structural equation modeling, and latent growth curve modeling using AMOS. Class 3 (Thursday - Friday) will cover Multilevel Modeling using SAS.
Each class will consist of lectures as well as hands-on practice. The overarching goal of all three classes is straightforward and pragmatic: You will learn when, why, and how to do each of the techniques using your own data.
Date and Times: August 5 - 9, 2013, 9:00am - 5:00 pm (45 min lunch)
Location: TBA; The workshop will take place in a computer lab on UNCG campus. You may bring your own computer but be sure to have SPSS, AMOS, and SAS loaded on your computer prior to the workshop.
Cost: $150

Workshop Instructors: Shevaun D. Neupert, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Lifespan Developmental Psychology at NC State. Her research focuses on individual differences in the way people respond to stressors across the adult lifespan. As part of her research, she applies multi level models to daily diary and longitudinal data.
Daniel Grühn, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Lifespan Developmental Psychology at NC State. His research focuses on emotional development in adulthood and old age. As part of his research, he applies structural equation models, including latent growth curve models in large data sets. He works with AMOS, LISREL, and Mplus.
Jason Allaire, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Lifespan Developmental Psychology at NC State. His research focuses on cognitive functioning in older adults with a particular interest in everyday cognition and intraindividual variability. As part of his research he uses confirmatory and latent growth curve modelingas well as multi level modeling.
