An innovative model for representing psychological processes as systems of interacting elements that change over time: from theoretical foundations to the most recent applications
 

Milano

Scadenza iscrizioni: 19 maggio 2024

CONTENUTI E FINALITÀ

The Network Psychometric Analysis approach is emerging as a complement to latent variable models for the investigation of the complexity of psychological processes. Using network models it is possible to represent psychological processes as systems of interacting elements and investigate their dynamics of change over time.The Summer School offers an introduction to this approach, considering its application to both cross-sectional and longitudinal data. Practices will be proposed through the use of the statistical software R. The Summer School also includes the participation of Prof. Denny Borsboom as Invited Lecturer.
