摘要

网络心理测量学使用图形模型来评估心理变量的网络结构。其分析的一项重要任务是确定哪些变量在网络中是不相关的,即与其他网络变量无关。这种有条件的独立结构是了解心理过程因果结构的入口。因此,采用适当的方法评估条件独立性和依赖性假设至关重要。检验此类假设的贝叶斯方法可以让研究人员区分网络中变量对之间缺乏联系(边)的证据和缺乏联系(边)的证据。网络心理计量学文献中提出了三种贝叶斯方法来评估条件独立性。我们认为这些方法的理论基础并不广为人知,因此我们对所提出的方法进行了概念性回顾,并通过模拟研究强调了这些方法的优势和局限性。我们还通过一个有关黑暗三合会人格数据的实证例子来说明这些方法。最后,我们就如何选择最佳方法提出了建议,并讨论了目前在这一重要课题上的文献空白。

Testing Conditional Independence in Psychometric Networks: An Analysis of Three Bayesian Methods.

Network psychometrics uses graphical models to assess the network structure of psychological variables. An important task in their analysis is determining which variables are unrelated in the network, i.e., are independent given the rest of the network variables. This conditional independence structure is a gateway to understanding the causal structure underlying psychological processes. Thus, it is crucial to have an appropriate method for evaluating conditional independence and dependence hypotheses. Bayesian approaches to testing such hypotheses allow researchers to differentiate between absence of evidence and evidence of absence of connections (edges) between pairs of variables in a network. Three Bayesian approaches to assessing conditional independence have been proposed in the network psychometrics literature. We believe that their theoretical foundations are not widely known, and therefore we provide a conceptual review of the proposed methods and highlight their strengths and limitations through a simulation study. We also illustrate the methods using an empirical example with data on Dark Triad Personality. Finally, we provide recommendations on how to choose the optimal method and discuss the current gaps in the literature on this important topic.

期刊介绍: Multivariate Behavioral Research (MBR) publishes a variety of substantive, methodological, and theoretical articles in all areas of the social and behavioral sciences. Most MBR articles fall into one of two categories. Substantive articles report on applications of sophisticated multivariate research methods to study topics of substantive interest in personality, health, intelligence, industrial/organizational, and other behavioral science areas. Methodological articles present and/or evaluate new developments in multivariate methods, or address methodological issues in current research. We also encourage submission of integrative articles related to pedagogy involving multivariate research methods, and to historical treatments of interest and relevance to multivariate research methods.
