Similarly, construct dimensions derived in our data-driven approach may be a reflection of the views and experience of the participants in our study.
This provides a matrix of ratings for each participant's grid, with columns representing important people of her or his interpersonal world (elements) and rows representing construct dimensions (see Figure 2 for an example).
The first step was the construction of a model which included all of the items initially included in the construction survey to measure a construct (dimension).
When the majority of the constituent factors in a group shared a common semantic interpretation, we adopted this semantic interpretation as a label for a network risk construct dimension.
In contrast, other perspectives challenge this position and consider that identity is a socially and historically constructed dimension that is constantly subject to contradictions, revisions, and change [ 12].
Factor analysis on these three items showed high loadings on a single component (Table 4) and the newly constructed dimension 'outcome' created a Cronbach's alpha of 0.73, which is acceptable.
Elicitation of elements (alternative events, states, or entities) and constructs (dimensions of similarity and difference between elements) is central to the tacit views' representation in repertory grids (Bradshaw et al. [1993]).
The risk research literature provides varying definitions of risk or perceived risk across different domains (e.g., [11-14]) but no consensus exists about the dimensions underlying risk in general or factors used to construct these dimensions ([6,15-21]).
Depending on how the universe is constructed, extra dimensions, mini black holes, and the source of so-called "dark matter" may all be revealed at CERN.
Cronbach's alphas were calculated for both construct and dimensions in the conceptual model [59, 60].
