Fig. 4: Between-person broad COVID-19 vaccines network.

a Network: nodes represent measured variables. Edges indicate partial correlations after controlling for every other node in the network. Edge weights, as indicated by width, represent the strength of relations (i.e., correlation coefficient). Blue edges represent positive (excitatory) effects that indicate that people who reported, on average, higher scores on one variable also reported, on average, higher scores on the other variable. Red edges represent negative (inhibitory) effects that indicate that people who reported, on average, higher scores on one variable also reported, on average, lower scores on the other variable. Edges with weights above 0.05 are plotted with a thickness corresponding to their magnitude. Note that between-person analyses provide interindividual associations and therefore directions of effects cannot be specified. b Standardized node strength, which represents the conditional association of a node with other nodes in the network.
