“…To address Hypothesis 1, we modeled negative and positive work expectations and goal engagement as auxiliary variables using the BCH command in Mplus. The BCH command compares mean levels across profiles and tests for significant differences in the correlates using Wald tests (Bakk & Vermunt, 2016). The results showed significant differences across the five motivational profiles (Table 3 and …”

“…profile. We again performed Wald tests using the BCH procedure (Bakk & Vermunt, 2016) and evaluated the differences in person-job fit, work engagement, and job satisfaction at T1 across the five profiles (Table 3 and Figure 1). We found that the unmotivated profile was related to the lowest values in the three work experiences, whereas the motivated profile was Belonging to the low positive affect profile was related to decreases in work engagement, whereas belonging to the motivated profile was related to increases in work engagement.…”

“…We used the automatic version of the modified BCH 3-step method (Asparouhov & Muthén, 2015; Vermunt, 2010) to compare mean levels of these violence related covariates within each class as it is the method most robust to violations of normality assumptions (Baak & Vermunt, 2015). This method accounts for classification error in the class assignment via weighting to adjust bias in standard errors and associated parameter estimates accordingly (Baak & Vermunt, 2015; Vermunt, 2010). Omnibus χ 2 with C −1 df and pairwise contrasts χ 2 with 1 df are provided for each of the violence related correlates.…”

Stalking perpetration and the associated risk for violence among adolescents has generally been neglected. In the present study, 1236 youth completed surveys assessing empirically established stalking indicators, threats and aggression toward stalking victims, dating violence, and violent delinquency. Latent Profile Analysis identified 3 latent classes of boys: non-perpetrators (NP), hyper-intimate pursuit (HIP), and comprehensive stalking perpetrators (CSP) and, and 2 classes for girls: NP and HIP. Boys in the CSP class were the most violent youth on nearly all indices with boys in the HIP class demonstrating an intermediate level of violence compared to NP boys. Girls in the HIP class were more violent than NP girls on all indices. These findings suggest stalking in adolescence merits attention by violence prevention experts. In particular, juvenile stalking may signify youth at risk for multiple forms of violence perpetrated against multiple types of victims, not just the object of their infatuation.

“…The estimated trajectory classes were related to antecedents (e.g., full breastfeeding) or distal outcomes (e.g., FM at 20 y) by 3-step LGMM (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Dependent on the outcome's scale, LGMM was combined with either multinomial logistic regression or ANOVA, respectively.…”

Background: Growth patterns of breastfed and formula-fed infants may differ, with formula-fed infants growing more rapidly than breastfed infants into childhood and adulthood. Objective: Our objectives were to identify growth patterns and investigate early nutritional programming potential on growth patterns at 6 y and on body composition at 20 y. Design: The West Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study and 3 European cohort studies (European Childhood Obesity Trial, Norwegian Human Milk Study, and Prevention of Coeliac Disease) that collaborate in the European Union-funded Early Nutrition project combined, harmonized, and pooled data on full breastfeeding, anthropometry, and body composition. Latent growth mixture modeling was applied to identify growth patterns among the 6708 individual growth trajectories. The association of full breastfeeding for ,3 mo compared with $3 mo with the identified trajectory classes was assessed by logistic regression. Differences in body composition at 20 y among the identified trajectory classes were tested by analysis of variance. Results: Three body mass index (BMI; in kg/m 2 ) trajectory patterns were identified and labeled as follows-class 1: persistent, accelerating, rapid growth (5%); class 2: early, nonpersistent, rapid growth (40%); and class 3: normative growth (55%). A shorter duration of full breastfeeding for ,3 mo was associated with being in rapidgrowth class 1 (OR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.48, 4.79) and class 2 (OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.51, 2.55) rather than the normative-growth class 3 after adjustment for covariates. Both rapid-growth classes showed significant associations with body composition at 20 y (P , 0.0001). Conclusions: Full breastfeeding for ,3 mo compared with $3 mo may be associated with rapid growth in early childhood and body composition in young adulthood. Rapid-growth patterns in early childhood could be a mediating link between infant feeding and long-term obesity risk.Am J Clin Nutr 2017;106:568-80.
