Network analysis offers a powerful methodological framework aimed at modeling complex structures, and only recently it has been applied in the personality field. Network analysis can be particularly helpful to clarify the structure underlying personality dimensions as it allows to graphically represent complex relations among multiple components and it can provide indexes to formally describe structural properties both of single components and of their overall organization. In this study (N=150) we apply network analysis to explore the structure of the factor conscientiousness and of its facets considering multiple methods. We show different networks emerging from self-reports and from peer-reports, present their structural properties and discuss how networks based on self- and peer-reports relate to each other. Finally, results are compared to those obtained with factor analysis.

Abstract

Network analysis offers a powerful methodological framework aimed at modeling complex structures, and only recently it has been applied in the personality field. Network analysis can be particularly helpful to clarify the structure underlying personality dimensions as it allows to graphically represent complex relations among multiple components and it can provide indexes to formally describe structural properties both of single components and of their overall organization. In this study (N=150) we apply network analysis to explore the structure of the factor conscientiousness and of its facets considering multiple methods. We show different networks emerging from self-reports and from peer-reports, present their structural properties and discuss how networks based on self- and peer-reports relate to each other. Finally, results are compared to those obtained with factor analysis.
