Statistical models that analyse (pairwise) relations between variables encompass assumptions about the underlying mechanism that generated the associations in the observed data. In the present paper we demonstrate that three Ising model representations exist that, although each proposes a distinct theoretical explanation for the observed associations, are mathematically equivalent. This equivalence allows the researcher to interpret the results of one model in three different ways. We illustrate the ramifications of this by discussing concepts that are conceived as problematic in their traditional explanation, yet when interpreted in the context of another explanation make immediate sense.

Summary: Network models and latent variable models represent psychological constructs differently, and their mathematical equivalences do not imply equal plausibility; the constraints and interpretations in one framework may not have clear translations in the equivalent model of the other framework.
