Dyadic Data Analysis Paperback – 29 January 2021

Well written and highly informative

No me gustó nada que no me llegó el producto solicitado después de un mes de espera. Luego se refirió que se había agotado y que no me podrían reenviar un libro sustituto con el mismo título. Fue bastante frustrante.El libro es de gran calidad, la lectura es un poco densa pero tiene un excelente rigor metodológico. Sin duda es un libro de gran ayuda que puede complementarse de modo excelente con materiales descargables del tema en google. Sí lo recomiendo ampliamente!

This is the bible for anyone doing dyadic research. Within the social sciences, researchers are collectively beginning to realize the importance of acknowledging interdependence in their data to conduct more meaningful statistical analyses, whether it be a simple mixed-measures ANOVA, MLM, of SEM. The authors do a fine job explaining why interdependence is important to account for and what happens if you ignore it. They follow it up with techniques of analyzing dyadic data using various statistical procedures. It helps going into this book if you are comfortable with some statistical nuts and bolts, such as the theory behind hypothesis testing and analyses of variance. Of course, knowledge of more advanced techniques such as MLM and SEM won't hurt either.

There are very few people who are brilliant at understanding statistics (really understanding it deeply) and gifted at explaining it to others. Kenny and his colleagues are such people. He brought us the distinction between moderators and mediators and developed the "gold standard" test for mediation. Now, he and his colleagues point out the problems inherent in analyzing dyadic data and explain how to analyze such data. If your data include 2 or more people who interact with one another, this book is a must have for data analysis.

I am using this book to assist with designing my methodology for my dissertation. The language is not technical. The authors made this text easy to understand and follow the concepts. The best thing about this text is that they start with a simple concept and build on it throughout the book so this makes it easier to learn and most importantly to retain!
