There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
The perfect follow up to your last no context quote

i wouldn't really be able to explore that without knowing who rated whom what
then i'd be able to see if there were a positive or negative relationship between popularity and personality similarity
In post 186, Psyche wrote:so i actually told my professor about this and he suggested factor analysis
he also said this stuff was publishable (though not in a journal of psychology) but maybe he wouldn't have if he knew all the ethical issues surrounding how i got my data hahahahahaha
Yeah, factor analysis would be even better.
Basically if regression is y = mx + b in algebra, structural modeling is when you did systems of equations in algebra.
The Big Five personality traits are often used to measure change in personality. There is a mean-level change in the Big Five traits from age 10 to 65.[8] The trends seen in adulthood are different from trends seen in childhood and adolescence. Some research suggests that during adolescence rank-order change does occur and therefore personality is highly unstable.[9] Gender differences are also shown before adulthood.[8] Conscientiousness drops from late childhood to adolescence, but then picks back up from adolescence into adulthood. Agreeableness also drops from late childhood to adolescence, but then picks back up from adolescence into adulthood. Neuroticism shows a different trend for males and females in childhood and adolescence. For females, Neuroticism increases from childhood to adolescence. Then Neuroticism levels from adolescence into adulthood and continues the adult trend of decreasing. Males however, tend to gradually decrease in Neuroticism from childhood to adolescence into adulthood. Extraversion drops from childhood to adolescence and then does not really change that much. Openness to experience also shows a different trend for different genders. Females tend to decrease in Openness to experience from childhood to early adulthood and then gradually increases all throughout adulthood. Males tend to decrease in Openness to experience from childhood to adolescence, then it tends to increase through adulthood. In adulthood, Neuroticism tends to decrease, while Conscientiousness and Agreeableness tend to increase. Extraversion and Openness to experience do not seem to change much during adulthood. These trends seen in adulthood are different from trends seen in childhood and adolescence.[8] Cross-cultural research shows that German, British, Czech, and Turkish people show similar trends of these personality traits.[10]
The Big Five personality traits can also be broken down into facets. Different facets of each personality trait are often correlated with different behavioral outcomes. Breaking down the personality traits into facets is difficult and not yet at a consensus. However, it is important to look at change in facets over a lifetime separate from just the change in traits because different facets of the same trait show different trends.[8] Neuroticism can be broken into the two facets of anxiety and depression. Anxiety has the same trend as Neuroticism for both males and females. For females, anxiety increases from childhood to adolescence, at emerging adulthood it levels out, and then starts to decrease into and throughout middle age. Anxiety in males tends to decrease from late childhood through adulthood. Depression (not clinical depression, but rather susceptibility to negative affect) shows two peaks in females. Females tend to have higher levels of this kind of depression in adolescence and then again in early adulthood. Depression does, however, have a negative trend through adulthood. For males, depression tends to show an increase from childhood to early adulthood and then shows a slight decrease through middle age.[8]

But they start using beta for all the coefficients to make it less confusing because they're not ordered.
But it's all one equation. Structural modeling is like:
Y = mx + b
x = betaD + betaE + betacoeff
You can make equations that predict the predictors.
Factor analysis can either be totally data driven in which case it's just principal component analysis plus a rotation (which is a silly math toy) or theoretically specified and hypothesis-tested, in which case you do something conceptually like the above.
One more update of things to do before I probably let this thread die:
- Unfinished profiles
- Mina's question
- Multiple regression results
- Factor analysis results
- Updating opening posts to reflect new findings
