Abstract

Using network methods to analyze multivariate psychological data on symptoms or beliefs has become popular, and numerous tutorials and primers provide detailed guides. However, these guides make such methods appear artificially robust because they often fail to adequately review serious critiques of psychometric network analysis. We briefly review critiques concerning model selection, study design, estimation reliability, and interpretation of measures, and provide a comprehensive annotated bibliography of published critiques.
