ABSTRACT

These loaded questions are becoming more common to a range of psychological contexts and ones that address fundamental psychological issues (Nesselroade, 1991; Nesselroade & Ram, 2004). Examination of individuals through intensive, longitudinal measurement is one way in which researchers will begin to address questions regarding individual change over time. Historically the examination of change over time has been successfully addressed through techniques such as differential equation models and concepts such as those of dynamical systems.
