Perils of Partialing: Can Scholars Predict Residualized Variables' Nomological Nets?

Variables with intercorrelations of varying magnitudes (i.e., anxiety, depression, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder) will be used to test whether experts can estimate partialed variables' nomological networks vis-à-vis basic trait profiles. Experts' estimates will be compared to obtained partialed trait profiles via macro (overall profile similarity) and more micro (individual trait comparisons) approaches.
