Classical Latent Profile Analysis of Academic Self-Concept Dimensions: Synergy of Person- and Variable-Centered Approaches to Theoretical Models of Self-Concept (2009, unknown): “In particular, Bauer (2007) argued that assumptions underlying mixture models are often problematic, whereas the theoretical rationale is often dubious.”
Disentangling Shape from Level Effects in Person-Centered Analyses: An Illustration Based on University Teachers’ Multidimensional Profiles of Effectiveness (2015, background): “…of this debate, one criterion that has almost always been implicit in the person-centered literature—and was even explicitly mentioned by some (e.g., Bauer, 2007; De Boek, Wilson, & Acton, 2005)—is the need to observe qualitative (shape) differences between the extracted profiles to support their…”
Twelve Frequently Asked Questions About Growth Curve Modeling (2010, background): “Further, although growth mixture models are both intriguing from a theoretical perspective and powerful from an analytical one, a number of concerns have been identified about the use of these techniques in practice (e.g., Bauer, 2007; Bauer & Curran, 2003, 2004).”
Modeling Longitudinal Data from Research on Adolescence (2009, background): “In other words, nonnormal data can easily lead to the retention of spurious latent classes (Bauer, 2007 ; Bauer & Curran, 2003 a, 2003 b; Tofighi & Enders, 2007 ).”
Peer victimization trajectories and their association with children’s affect in late elementary school (2010, background): “…latent classes, or as a discovery of different types of children, an alternative and more justifiable interpretation is that growth mixture modeling provided a useful categorization of a continuum of individual differences in change in victimization over time (Bauer, 2007; Bauer & Curran, 2003).”
MODELING THE METALLICITY DISTRIBUTION OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS (2010, background): “In other words, GMM is more a test of Gaussianity than of unimodality (see Muthén 2003; Bauer 2007, for more discussion).”
Complementary Variable- and Person-Centered Approaches to the Dimensionality of Psychometric Constructs: Application to Psychological Wellbeing at Work (2016, background): “, with one profile simply presenting a higher level than the other on the profile indicators) (Bauer 2007; Morin and Marsh 2015).”
A Multifoci Person-Centered Perspective on Workplace Affective Commitment: A Latent Profile/Factor Mixture Analysis (2011, background): “Statistical and substantive checking in growth mixture modeling: Comment on Bauer and Curran (2003).”
Using Group-Based Trajectory and Growth Mixture Modeling to Identify Classes of Change Trajectories (2016, background): “However, if therapist effects are not properly accounted for in models, results could be inexact (Bauer, 2007).”
Person-Centered Methodologies in the Organizational Sciences (2018, background): “It is also hard to rule out the possibility that spurious profiles might emerge due to violations of the model’s distributional assumptions (Bauer, 2007).”
A person‐centered approach to commitment research: Theory, research, and methodology (2016, background): “Similarly, it is hard to rule out the possibility that spurious profiles might emerge due to violations of the model’s distributional assumptions (Bauer, 2007; Bauer & Curran, 2004).”
