Recent Advances in the Use of Modeling to Explain and Predict Psychological Phenomena: Examples from Social, Health, and Clinical Psychology

Psychological constructs are complex, multivariate, multicausal phenomena. This symposium will introduce models for constructs in Social Psychology (attitudes), Health Psychology (smoking), and Clinical Psychology (panic disorder, treatment outcomes). The four talks include explanatory and predictive models, and cover both idiographic and nomothetic modeling approaches.
