Research Methods: Measuring How People Think - Analysing Data from a Causal Map

<p>Hello and welcome!</p> <p> </p> <p>Today, I discuss what to do with the #data you collected with a #causalmap. You will have many distances from each person to all others (like a #correlation table). In our #dataanalysis, we applied #clustering - we clustered people based on their #similarity regarding the #mental #models. Later, you can use this cluster variable as your #dependentvariable when you look at what #causes similarity between people. Or you can use the cluster variable as a predictor, i.e. look at the consequences for #like-minded people. If it is not fully clear from my talk (I was a bit too emotional about our #findings), feel free to read our #academic #paper!</p> <p>Good luck with your investigations!</p> <p> </p> <p>Best</p> <p>Eugene (Yevgen) </p> <p> </p> <p>Our paper: </p> <p><a href='https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331489896_Values_congruence_in_multicultural_groups_the_causal_mapping_method'>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331489896_Values_congruence_in_multicultural_groups_the_causal_mapping_method</a></p> <p>Citation: Bogodistov, Y., Botts, M., &amp; Schlatterer, F.
