Abstract: Network science is booming, facilitated in part by the collection and analysis of “big data” in the information, biological, and social sciences! In this talk, I will present a state-of-the-art method, namely unified structural equation modeling implemented via group iterative multiple model estimation, for generating person-specific networks. These analyses are conducted using psychological time series data that have been collected through intensive repeated measurement, such as functional neuroimaging data, continuously coded observational data, and daily diary data. I will describe applications of the method to developmental questions concerning behavioral sex differences and neural processes underlying substance use in order to reveal group- and individual-level dynamics – dynamics that are overlooked by standard analysis approaches
Bio: Adriene Beltz is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan, where she directs the Methods, Sex differences, and Development – M(SD) – Lab. She is a quantitative developmentalist interested in creating and implementing innovative time-indexed analyses to understand how sex hormones influence brain and behavioral sex differences across the lifespan. Before coming to U-M, Dr. Beltz completed a post doc at Penn State University in the Quantitative Development unit of the department of Human Development and Family Studies, focusing on connectivity analysis approaches for functional neuroimaging data. Dr. Beltz also received her Ph.D. in Psychology from Penn State, specializing in Social, Cognitive, and Affective Neuroscience.
