Mapping the Mind: Investigating the Relationships across Psychometric and Neural Variables through Network Science: JUNIOR SYMPOSIUM
- Stefano Vicentin (Università di Padova)
This symposium is organized with the aim of fostering a deeper understanding of Network Analysis as a theoretical and methodological approach in psychology. In recent years, Network Science has emerged as a powerful tool to model psychological constructs as systems of interacting components. This shift allows researchers to examine the structure, dynamics, and complexity of psychological...
Intensive longitudinal designs, such as daily diary and experience sampling methods (Bolger & Laurenceau, 2013), offer valuable opportunities to study psychological processes as they unfold in the ecological context of daily life. However, the richness of the data collected through these designs requires sophisticated tools to leverage both inter-individual and intra-individual variability....
Traditional personality theories propose a universal structure based on a limited set of traits (e.g., Big Five, HEXACO). However, factors such as aging and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) may alter this structure. Prior research suggests that healthy aging reorganizes rather than simplifies personality. In contrast, AD appears to affect both cognition and personality, with caregivers frequently...
Introduction: Network analysis provides a systematic, quantitative approach to modeling and understanding complex systems, and it has gained traction in both neuroscience and psychology. However, interdisciplinary collaboration between these fields from a network analysis perspective remains limited. In trying to bridge this gap, we investigated how the network structure of seven cognitive...
