Measurement Burst Designs to Improve Precision in Peer Research

Measurement burst designs can be used as a novel method to improve the stability of basic measures typically used in longitudinal peer research. We hypothesized that the stabilities for adolescent-reported peer acceptance, anxiety, and self-concept would be stronger when using the measurement burst approach versus the single time observation.
