Resumo: The choice of statistical data analysis should be guided by a critical analysis that supports the theoretical relationship between the construct and its indicators. This theoretical article reviews the three main existing psychometric paradigms and their proposals for explaining the relationship between indicators and their constructs. The discussion begins with the standard paradigm that guides the construction and analysis of data in psychology, reflective model. Then, a description of the formative models is performed and finally the Network Analysis as an alternative. The definitions, consequences, and limitations of the use of each measurement model are presented such as a reflection on making decisions about which data generation mechanisms are more appropriate.

Este teórico artigo faz uma revisão dos três principais paradigmas psicométricos e suas propostas de explicação da relação entre os indicadores e seus construtos. A discussão é iniciada com o paradigma padrão que guia a construção e análise de dados na psicologia, os modelos reflexivos. Em seguida, é realizada uma descrição dos modelos formativos e, por fim, a proposta da Análise de Redes como alternativa. São apresentadas as definições, consequências e limitações do uso de cada modelo de medida, bem como uma reflexão na tomada de decisão sobre quais mecanismos de geração de dados são mais apropriados.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2023-07-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/4121110.1590/0102.3772e39nspe08.enPsicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 39 (2023)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 39 (2023)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 39 (2023)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 39 (2023)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
