| Biography:
|
|
Dr. Schmitt is a Professor of Psychology at Eastern Michigan University specializing in quantitative methods.
My quantitative research interests include item response theory (IRT), multilevel modeling, factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory), structural equation modeling (SEM), and test/instrument construction and evaluation. Along with my measurement and statistical research, I have a strong interest in collaborative interdisciplinary research. I enjoy working with other researchers, learning about their research, and helping to solve the methodological issues encountered in their research. Through collaboration not only do I learn about other content areas and help to answer pertinent questions, but I also discover statistical and methodological issues that warrant further investigation. Thus, these collaborative research experiences are invaluable.
