Dynamic p-technique (DPT) is a potentially useful statistical method for examining relationships among dynamic constructs in a single individual or small group of individuals over time. The purpose of this article is to offer a nontechnical introduction to DPT.
An overview of DPT analysis, with an emphasis on potential applications to pediatric psychology research, is provided. To illustrate how DPT might be applied, an example using simulated data is presented for daily pain and negative mood ratings.
The simulated example demonstrates the application of DPT to a relevant pediatric psychology research area. In addition, the potential application of DPT to the longitudinal study of adherence is presented.
Although it has not been utilized frequently within pediatric psychology, DPT could be particularly well-suited for research in this field because of its ability to powerfully model repeated observations from very small samples.
动态 p 技术（DPT）是一种在个体或小群体中随时间动态结构关系的潜在有用的统计方法。本文的目的是对 DPT 进行非技术介绍。
提供 DPT 分析概述，重点介绍儿科心理学研究的潜在应用。为了说明 DPT 如何应用，本文提供了一个使用模拟数据的日常疼痛和负面情绪评分的示例。
模拟示例展示了 DPT 在相关儿科心理学研究领域的应用。此外，还介绍了 DPT 在纵向研究中的应用。
尽管在儿科心理学中尚未广泛应用，但 DPT 可能非常适合该领域的研究，因为它能够有力地对非常小样本的重复观察进行建模。
