Interpreting clustering plot

BEANS

Hi, Could someone let me know how to interpret this picture?

And I wonder if this analysis can tell me which factors and others can be grouped into the same group. If this analysis doesn't know, can you also tell me which JASP analysis to use?

The help file should be helpful. Also, it will contain references to the literature.

I think there has been a substantial misunderstanding here. The clustering plot is intended only to be used with correlation networks with our intended as a kind of "descriptive precursor" before using one of the other types of networks. I am optimistic that perhaps some of these resources might be helpful.

The latter might be available open access through your institutional library

if you really do just want to understand this plot this is the paper you need to read

qgraph: Network Visualizations of Relationships in Psychometric Data | Journal of Statistical Software (jstatsoft.org)

I hope I haven't misunderstood you, and that this helps!-

Thanks for the great resources. I think I understand a little better now. Thanks again.
