General Strain Theory and the Relationship Between Early Victimization and Drug Use (2008, methodology): “To account for this, the natural log of the dependent variables was used in the analyses involving tobit regression so that its distribution would more reasonably approximate the requirements of censored normal regression (Osgood et al. 2002; Smith and Brame 2003).”
When Is Spending Time With Peers Related to Delinquency? The Importance of Where, What, and With Whom (2015, background): “Osgood, Finken, and McMorris (2002) proposed this kind of regression analysis for studies on self-reported delinquency, as an alternative to ordinary least squares regression analysis (OLS).12 The Tobit regression model is a censored regression model in which the dependent variable (here,…”
Is the Magic Still There? The Use of the Heckman Two-Step Correction for Selection Bias in Criminology (2007, background): “Y 1 ¼ Y 1 * if Y 1 * [9 3 ¼ 9 otherwise Tobit regression has been increasingly applied in the feld of sentencing research (Albonetti 1997; Bushway and Piehl 2001; Kurlychek and Johnson 2004; Rhodes 1991), as well as in criminology more broadly (see Osgood et al. 2002).”
Cyberbullying and traditional bullying in adolescence: Differential roles of moral disengagement, moral emotions, and moral values (2012, methodology): “In the following analyses, we accounted for the non-normality of the dependent variables through log transformations and the use of tobit regressions (Osgood, Finken, & McMorris, 2002 ).”
A Comprehensive Test of General Strain Theory (2009, methodology): “Therefore, negative binomial models were estimated on dependent variables (Osgood, Finken, and McMorris 2002).”
Detecting Specialization in Offending: Comparing Analytic Approaches (2009, background): “Taking a cue from recent work that has demonstrated the relative utility of using an array of analytic methods to address the same empirical question (e.g., Bushway et al. 1999; Osgood et al. 2002; Sullivan et al. 2008) and work that highlights the need for confirmation/ disconfirmation of existin”
6. A Multivariate, Multilevel Rasch Model with Application to Self-Reported Criminal Behavior (2003, background): “In a sequel to their paper, Osgood, Finken, and McMorris (2002) demonstrate the useful properties of IRT-based analyses based on a Tobit regression model.”
Moral emotions and offending: Do feelings of anticipated shame and guilt mediate the effect of socialization on offending? (2013, methodology): “Osgood et al. (2002) proposed Tobit regression (Amemiya, 1984; Long, 1997) as an alternative method for the analysis of self-reported offending.”
