Cultural Consensus Theory (CCT) models allow us to explore shared
knowledge or beliefs in a culture. Within this framework, with the
Extended Consensus Model (ECM) we can describe individual differences
among people in terms of consensus knowledge, willingness to guess, and
guessing bias. These cognitive characteristics might have a direct
influence on everyday life experiences. To study this, we developed a
latent variable model in which process model parameters from intensive
longitudinal daily life data and parameters of the ECM can be estimated
simultaneously and joined via linear link functions. We apply this model
to study whether beliefs on what makes people feel loved are linked to
daily life experiences of love.
