A Tutorial on Dyadic Growth Curve Mediation Modeling: An Applied Example Testing Pathways of Fathers' Depression Vulnerability to Destructive Marital Conflict.

ABSTRACT: Researchers within and beyond the psychology of men and masculinities (PMM) have underscored the importance of identifying pathways underlying men's mental health in the context of dyadic relationships. Accordingly, there is an emerging need for advancement and accessible application of corresponding longitudinal quantitative methods. Although both Dyadic Growth Curve Modeling and Growth Curve Mediation Modeling have each been used increasingly throughout related fields such as developmental and family sciences, they have not yet been widely applied by researchers in PMM. Moreover, there is a lack of applied examples involving the integration of these two methods. Our goal is therefore to provide an accessible tutorial on longitudinal mediation analysis with dyadic data using latent growth
