A paper by MCPER’s Myriam Lopez has been selected as one of the top three submissions for the Division of Measurement and Research Methodology In-Progress Research Gala, to be held during the annual conference of the American Educational Research Association from April 13 to 18 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Lopez, a researcher in the Translational Research Institute, will find out during the conference whether her paper, “The Estimation of Latent Variable Interactions: A Comparison of the Unconstrained and the Latent Moderated Structural Equations Approach for Parceled and Individual Items,” is the overall winner. She also will be honored at a business luncheon.
