Research and teaching interests
Lijuan Wang's research interests are in the areas of (intensive) longitudinal data analysis, multilevel modeling, mediation analysis, moderation analysis, and study designs. Substantively, she is interested in applying quantitative methods in developmental, clinical, family, and health disparities research.
Biography
Lijuan Wang's research interests are in the areas of longitudinal data analysis (e.g., methods and models for studying intra-individual change, variability, and relations, and inter-individual differences in them), multilevel modeling (e.g., dyadic data analysis), structural equation modeling (e.g., mediation analysis), and study design issues (e.g., sample size determination). She is also interested in measurement issues related to longitudinal research. Substantively, she is interested in applying quantitative methods in developmental, family, health, and educational research.
Education
Ph.D. from University of Virginia
