abstract: Automated psychological scale development and structural validation using
  large language models (LLMs) and network psychometric methods. Implements the AI-GENIE
  framework (Automatic Item Generation and Validation via Network-Integrated Evaluation)
  to generate candidate items, compute embedding representations, and estimate dimensional
  structure using Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA). Item quality is evaluated using
  Unique Variable Analysis to identify redundant items and Bootstrap EGA to assess
  item and dimension stability. Supports both fully automated item generation and
  analysis of user-provided item sets, facilitating efficient, theory-informed measurement
  development prior to empirical data collection.
