A Multifoci Person-Centered Perspective on Workplace Affective Commitment: A Latent Profile/Factor Mixture Analysis (2011, background): “In this context, care should be taken to avoid the reification of these profiles, as they are only heuristics (and should remain as such) that are useful to depict interactive patterns among multiple variables (Bauer, 2005; Bauer & Shanahan, 2007; Kreuter & Muthén, 2008).”
Dual commitment to organization and supervisor: A person-centered approach (2015, background): “This suggests that these models, which may have been overparameterized (Bauer & Curran, 2003; Chen, Bollen, Paxton, Curran, & Kirby, 2001), are inadequate, and more parsimonious models are more appropriate (Bauer & Shanahan, 2007).”
Disentangling Shape from Level Effects in Person-Centered Analyses: An Illustration Based on University Teachers’ Multidimensional Profiles of Effectiveness (2015, background): “However, arguing that extracted latent profiles simply serve to better represent complex nonlinear relationships is only an alternative way of saying that nonlinear variable-centered analyses would offer a better representation of the variables (also see Bauer & Shanahan, 2007).”
