Kaylee Litson, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at University of Houston. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research scholar at Utah State University. In 2020, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Temple University. Prior to my postdoctoral training, I received my Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology from Utah State University in 2019, and I received my B.S. in Psychology in 2013.My primary research examines the development and application of structural equation models with a focus on longitudinal data analysis, mixture distribution methods, moderation analysis, multimethod design, model fit indices, and validity. More specifically, I use latent state-trait and classical test theories to meaningfully understand longitudinal and multimethod processes. In order to appropriately engage these theories, I consider the impact of measurement invariance, latent interaction effects, the disaggregation of manifest variable variance, and the appropriate use of model fit indices. I have expertise in the research process, which includes conceptualizing research studies, planning and gathering data, cleaning data, evaluating statistical assumptions, testing statistical models, interpreting statistical results in the appropriate research context, visualizing results, writing professional reports, and publishing professional reports. I am generally interested in the application of statistical methods to educational, health, and psychological research. I have interest in continuing research on interrelated substantive topics, including student skill development, career attainment, and cognitive load.

Listed skills include Statistics, Critical Thinking, Research, Analysis, and 23 others.
