This online and fully live 3-day workshop is designed for graduate students and professionals in psychology, human development, family studies and health/behavioral sciences who want a clear, practical, and highly user-friendly introduction to longitudinal data analysis using growth curve modeling.
The focus is on applied understanding, not heavy math or theory. The goal is to help you confidently run, interpret, and use models in your own research.
In the workshop you will learn to use R, Lavaan, and Mplus to run growth curve models with real data.
You’ll be guided step-by-step by an instructor with extensive teaching experience, with an emphasis on clarity, pacing, and making complex ideas accessible. The environment is interactive, supportive, and very approachable—questions are encouraged throughout.
Very user-friendly approach (designed for non-statistician, applied researchers)
