Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

4.2K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Nominal Level of Measurement00:56

Nominal Level of Measurement

41.2K
The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. Not every statistical operation can be used with every set of data. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
The data that cannot be measured but can be grouped into categories fall under the nominal level of measurement. Data that is measured using a nominal...

Multiple Bar Graph01:07

Multiple Bar Graph

10.4K
As the name suggests, a multiple bar graph is the same as a bar graph but has multiple bars to depict relationships between different data values. One can include as many parameters as possible. However, each parameter must have the same unit of measurement.
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...

Multiple Comparison Tests01:13

Multiple Comparison Tests

4.5K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Ordinal Level of Measurement00:55

Ordinal Level of Measurement

36.1K
The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks...

Area of Science:

  • Social Network Analysis
  • Psychometrics
  • Quantitative Psychology

Background:

  • Latent constructs are typically measured using multi-item scales on individual data.
  • Network data commonly uses single-relation measurements, limiting the study of complex relationships.
  • Valued relationships like cohesion and conflict require more nuanced measurement approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate multirelational network measurement for inferring valued latent construct networks.
  • To present a psychometric framework for developing and evaluating such measures.
  • To identify appropriate scaling approaches for construct-level networks.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a psychometric framework for multirelational network measurement.
  • Evaluating the reliability and construct validity of these measures.
  • Identifying and applying appropriate scaling techniques.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the feasibility of using multirelational data to infer latent construct networks.
  • Provided a framework for assessing the psychometric properties of these network measures.
  • Highlighted suitable scaling methods for construct-level network analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Multirelational network measurement offers a robust approach for studying latent constructs in relational data.
  • The proposed framework enhances the measurement of complex social phenomena like cohesion and conflict.
  • This methodology advances network analysis in psychology and related social sciences.
