A Review of Developmental Studies in Adolescence, Adulthood, and Old Age

Path analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used in 9 of the 24 papers published last year on quantitative studies in The Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology. Current trends in SEM application were investigated and the associated problems to promote SEM's correct understanding and application were examined. The results indicated a recent tendency to use more complex and advanced SEM models, including multi-group analysis and longitudinal and hierarchical data models. However, researchers using advanced methods must be accountable, and psychometric and assessment specialists must continue educational and instructional activities from the users' perspective so that applied researchers can correctly use these methods. It is hoped that academic societies will ensure the quality of peerreviewed publications and prepare detailed publication manuals. It is suggested that applied and theoretical researchers and academic organizations continue to promote the appropriate use of SEM and other advanced statistical methods.

This paper reviews studies on adolescence into old age in the developmental division of the 64th Annual General Meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology held online from August 10 to September 10, 2022, and journal articles published in five domestic academic journals. As a result, it was shown that many of the studies targeting adolescents were related to specific problems in school and campus life, and many studies targeting adulthood were related to problems faced in social positions.Additionally, future contributions of developmental research to practical support concerning the complementary use of qualitative and quantitative research are discussed.
