Abstract complessivo di un simposio

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...

680. Understanding Meaning-Making in Daily Life Through Multilevel Network Psychometrics

Michela Zambelli (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore)

9/12/25, 11:15 AM

Methodology

Talk in simposio

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....

523. Personality architecture through healthy and pathological ageing

Silvia Gobbo (University of Milan-Bicocca)

9/12/25, 11:30 AM

Methodology

Talk in simposio

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...

551. Investigating Brain-Behavior Architecture Using Graph-Based Network Analysis: Preliminary Insights from Resting-State fMRI

Dr Arianna Menardi (Department of Neuroscience, University of Padova)

9/12/25, 11:45 AM

Talk in simposio

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...
