However, estimates of between-subject differences are also influenced by factors including within-subject variability, random errors, and measurement bias. Here, we use data collected from a large online sample (N = 150) to (1) quantify test-retest reliability of behavioural and computational measures of reversal learning using ICCs, and (2) use our dataset as the basis for a simulation study investigating the effects of sample size on variance component estimation and the association between estimates of variance components and ICC measures. In line with previously published work, we find reliable behavioural and computational measures of reversal learning, a commonly used assay of behavioural flexibility. Reliable estimates of between-subject, within-subject (across-session), and error variance components for behavioural and computational measures (with ± .05 precision and 80% confidence) required sample sizes ranging from 10 to over 300 (behavioural median N: between-subject = 167, within-subject = 34, error = 103; computational median N: between-subject = 68, within-subject = 20, error = 45). These sample sizes exceed those often used in reliability studies, suggesting that sample sizes larger than are commonly used for reliability studies (circa 30) are required to robustly estimate reliability of task performance measures. Additionally, we found that ICC estimates showed highly positive and highly negative correlations with between-subject and error variance components, respectively, as might be expected, which remained relatively stable across sample sizes. However, ICC estimates were weakly or not correlated with within-subject variance, providing evidence for the importance of variance decomposition for reliability studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 4","pages":"123"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928395/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result of the Delphi process is ESM-Q: a quality assessment tool consisting of 10 core criteria, as well as an additional 15 supplementary criteria, to be used depending on the type of items being rated and the availability of supplementary information. The criteria cover topics ranging from construct validity to the optimal wording of items.

We evaluated the efficacy of the instrumental variables (IV) methods, specifically focusing on both the auxiliary IVs (AIVs) and the model-implied IVs (MIIVs), in mitigating endogeneity issues. Simulation results indicated that endogeneity induced bias in CLPM, notably overestimating cross-lagged effects and thereby amplifying the apparent causal relationships. AIV-CLPM showed a smaller, yet still unacceptably high bias, along with low robustness and elevated type I error rates. In contrast, the MIIV-CLPM produced more accurate estimates with fewer type I errors, and, given sufficient observations, it achieved moderate statistical power. An extended simulation incorporating the random-intercept CLPM supported these findings, highlighting the generalizability of this approach. Furthermore, an empirical illustration demonstrated the practicality and feasibility of the MIIV-CLPM.

Moreover, the statistical properties of the estimation and inference methods for such models have not been systematically examined in the meta-analytic context. We therefore conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study to compare different estimation methods (maximum or restricted maximum likelihood estimation), significance tests (Wald-type, permutation, and likelihood-ratio tests), and methods for constructing confidence intervals (Wald-type and profile-likelihood intervals) for the scale coefficients of such models. When restricted maximum likelihood estimation was used, slightly closer to nominal rejection rates and narrower confidence intervals were obtained. The permutation test yielded type I error rates closest to the nominal level, whereas the likelihood-ratio test obtained the highest statistical power. In most scenarios, profile-likelihood intervals showed lower coverage probabilities than the Wald-type method but closer to the nominal 95% level. Finally, slightly higher rejection rates and coverage probabilities were obtained when a dichotomous moderator was examined rather than a continuous one.

Recent advances in network psychometrics introduced network loadings which aim to provide network models with a metric similar to factor loadings to assess measurement quality when the data are generated from a factor model. Our study revisits and refines the original network loadings to account for properties of (regularized) partial correlation networks, such as the reduction of partial correlation size as the number of variables increase, that were not considered previously. Using a simulation study, the revised network loadings demonstrated greater congruence with the simulated factor loadings across conditions relative to the original formulation. The simulation also evaluated how well correlations between factors can be captured by scores estimated with network loadings. The results show that not only can these network scores adequately estimate the simulated correlations between factors, they can do so without the need for rotation, a standard requirement for factor loadings. The consequence is that researchers do not need to choose a rotation with the revised network loadings, reducing the analytic degrees of freedom and eliminating this common source of variability in factor analysis.
