Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A study predicting the quality of children's classroom experiences across multiple schools would involve nested data, as experiences are likely to be similar within a given school but differ between schools. Therefore, multilevel modeling would be the most appropriate analysis to account for this clustering of data. Correlation and multiple regression would not account for the nested nature of the data, while structural equation modeling may be too complex for the scope of the study.
