Estimating the Stability of Psychological Dimensions via Bootstrap Exploratory Graph Analysis: A Monte Carlo Simulation and Tutorial

Alexander P. Christensen, Hudson Golino · 27 Aug 2021

Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA) has emerged as a popular approach for estimating the dimensionality of multivariate data using psychometric networks. Sampling variability, however, has made reproducibility and generalizability a key issue in network psychometrics. To address this issue, we have developed a novel bootstrap approach called Bootstrap Exploratory Graph Analysis (bootEGA). bootEGA generates a sampling…

Qualitative Methods with Nvivo Software: A Practical Guide for Analyzing Qualitative Data

David B. Allsop, Joe Chelladurai, Elisabeth R. Kimball et al. · 22 Mar 2022

From 1995–2016, there has been a 15-fold increase in qualitative scholarship in the social sciences, but the rigor and quality of published work has ranged widely. Little scholarship provides concrete, pragmatic explanations of (and directions regarding) the execution of systematic, high-rigor qualitative analysis. The present article guides the developing qualitative researcher through technical and procedural…

A Tutorial on How to Conduct Meta-Analysis with IBM SPSS Statistics

Sedat Şen, İbrahim Yıldırım · 22 Sep 2022

Meta-analysis has started to take place among the most used methodologies in psychological research. Such a technique allows researchers to combine the data sets obtained from several individual studies on the same topic and thus is particularly useful for finding solutions to controversial issues that cannot be solved with individual studies. This paper presents a…

Testing and Interpreting Latent Variable Interactions Using the semTools Package

Alexander M. Schoemann, Terrence D. Jorgensen · 30 Jul 2021

Examining interactions among predictors is an important part of a developing research program. Estimating interactions using latent variables provides additional power to detect effects over testing interactions in regression. However, when predictors are modeled as latent variables, estimating and testing interactions requires additional steps beyond the models used for regression. We review methods of estimating…

Listening to People with Misophonia: Exploring the Multiple Dimensions of Sound Intolerance Using a New Psychometric Tool, the S-Five, in a Large Sample of Individuals Identifying with the Condition

Silia Vitoratou, Nora Uglik‐Marucha, Chloe Hayes et al. · 28 Oct 2021

Misophonia involves a strong emotional response to certain sounds and can cause significant distress and functional impairment. The aim of this study was to present and psychometrically evaluate a new, multidimensional measure of misophonia, the S-Five. The study also aimed to present and test a supplementary tool, a checklist of triggers that measure the nature…

Psych template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Psych format?
