Examining the dimensionality of self-construals and individualistic-collectivistic values with random intercept item factor analysis

► Self-construals are often treated as bipolar, as are I-C values. ► Investigate their dimensionality with random intercept item factor analysis (RIIFA). ► RIIFA is one method to control for acquiescence bias. ► The correlation between self-construals turned slightly but not entirely negative. ► The same result was found for I-C values.
