I should read this against the methodology page actually. I wish there were a script to quickly replicate their cleaning and weighting here, maybe that'll become clearer, because there's a lot of data cleaning choices listed at a high level. But that's ok we can make our own choices too!

hmmmmmmmmmm not exactly a construct map in this folder, but we're going to guess that parent groups are the construct

A huge number of these items are characteristics: psychology measures are the most FUN though so let's try to find those

There are some items about emotional exhaustion, stress, and being overwhelmed, really curious what we could do with those

they highlight some national diffs like this that I'm really curious about

Learning Pressure shown in percentages, South Korea and Mainland China say improving technical skills is the most challenging job aspect at higher percentages than United States and United Kingdom

R, holding an extremely long cigarette in a cigarette holder, gazing out the window as I stand in the doorway with my hat in my hands: oh you're BACK? from your NEWSLETTER and KEYNOTES or whatever?

while R is being all "I'm not mad I'm just disappointed", I want to look back at the psychology measures in this survey. Something complicated here is some of these groups contain a more global mood ("I experienced feelings of low mood or sadness") but then there are specific attributions ("I feel overwhelmed by the constant need to learn and adapt to new technologies in my field"). You could feel overwhelmed by other things.

Think we need to think about collinearity here. This is where constructs are useful! Could be nice to use the global affect measure to group people and then compare some outcomes for subgroups. Some imposter syndrome-type measures here too which is potentially just interesting to map

OH. A RATING OF ROLE-RELATED IDENTITY CLOSENESS/SALIENCE. INTERESTING. That is a really cool potential grouping variable. ("How much do you align your identity to your job")
