This article extends current discussion of how to disaggregate between-person and within-person effects with longitudinal data using multilevel models. Our main focus is on the 2 issues of centering and detrending. Conceptual and analytical work demonstrates the similarities and differences among 3 centering approaches (no centering, grand-mean centering, and person-mean centering) and the relations and differences among various detrending approaches (no detrending, detrending X only, detrending Y only, and detrending both X and Y). Two real data analysis examples in psychology are provided to illustrate the differences in the results of using different centering and detrending methods for the disaggregation of between- and within-person effects. Simulation studies were conducted to further compare the various centering and detrending approaches under a wider span of conditions. Recommendations of how to perform centering, whether detrending is needed or not, and how to perform detrending if needed are made and discussed.

Article Synopsis
- * The researchers initially measured these qualities through established techniques like moisture-ash analysis and HPLC, then collected and processed the near-infrared spectra from 928 saffron samples.
- * The resulting prediction models demonstrated high accuracy in estimating the saffron's qualities, with notable correlation coefficients and low root mean square errors, indicating the model's efficiency for rapid quality assessment.
In longitudinal studies, researchers are often interested in investigating relations between variables over time. A well-known issue in such a situation is that naively regressing an outcome on a predictor results in a coefficient that is a weighted average of the between-person and within-person effect, which is difficult to interpret. This article focuses on the cross-level covariance approach to disaggregating the two effects.

The development of terahertz technology is attracting broad intention in recent years. The quality identification is important for the quality control of Chinese medicine production. In the present work, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) combined with partial least squares (PLS) were used for the identification model building and studied based on 41 official and unofficial rhubarb samples.

Unlabelled: Although self-compassion is considered a promising change agent in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), no studies of this hypothesis exist. This study examined the within-person relationship of self-compassion components (self-kindness, common humanity, mindfulness, self-judgment, isolation, over-identification) and subsequent PTSD symptoms over the course of therapy.
Method: PTSD patients (n = 65) were randomized to either standard prolonged exposure, which includes imaginal exposure (IE) to the traumatic memory, or modified prolonged exposure, where imagery re-scripting (IR) of the memory replaced IE as the imagery component of prolonged exposure in a 10 weeks residential program.
