fSRM (version 0.6.5)

Social Relations Analyses with Roles ("Family SRM")

Description

Social Relations Analysis with roles ("Family SRM") are computed, using a structural equation modeling approach. Groups ranging from three members up to an unlimited number of members are supported and the mean structure can be computed. Means and variances can be compared between different groups of families and between roles.

Data set on attachment anxiety in four person families (Cook, 2000)

Data set on negativity in problematic and nonproblematic families A simulated dataset, mimicking the study performed by Eichelsheim et al. (2011) who investigated whether there are differences in patterns of negativity between families with and without an adolescent with externalizing problem behavior. In the study of Eichelsheim et al. (2011), four members of the same family (mother, father, target adolescent and sibling) reported on the amount of negativity they experienced in relation to each other. In total, these authors studied 120 Dutch four-person families with a target adolescent scoring above the externalizing behavior clinical norm scores on either the Child Behavior Check List (N = 47; CBCL; Achenbach, 1991) or the Youth Self Report (N = 73; YSR; Achenbach, 1991). Because of confidentiality reasons, not the original data but mimicked data are used here, so results of social relations analyses will deviate from the original paper.

Data set on attachment dependency (Cook, 2000) The classic Cook (2000) dataset consists of measurements on security of attachment within families. Only the variable measuring attachment dependency in family relationships is included in this dataset. Four roles are present (i.e. two parents and two children): mothers "m", fathers "f", the older child as "c", and the younger child "y".

Data set on negative interactions A simulated dataset, mimicking the study performed by Eichelsheim et al. (2011) who investigated whether there are differences in patterns of negativity between families with and without an adolescent with externalizing problem behavior. The problematic and nonproblematic group consist of 120 and 153 four-person families, respectively. This dataset contains a measures of negativity for each of the 12 relationships. Four roles are present: Mothers "M", fathers "F", the asolescent with externalizing problem behavior "T", and the adolescent sibling without problem behavior "S". A wide version of the same data set is in two.groups.wide.
