Application of network analysis on self-construal scale revised version. A tutorial
Abstract
This study aimed to provide a tutorial on how to conduct network analysis using the R program, as one of the most recent psychometrics models, in addition to explain how we can use the information provided by this new model. The data was obtained by the Self Construal Scale revised version from 200 university students. The steps consisted of extracting the dimensions and obtaining the network loadings of the items and calculating the strength index as the most important centrality indices. To ensure the accuracy of the results, the correlation stability coefficient was calculated. Finally, structural consistency coefficients of each item and dimension were calculated.
