Steps to reproduce

The dataset was collected through an anonymous survey administered to 1,000 university students. Responses were measured using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). The final dataset contains the 26 indicators retained after psychometric refinement and confirmatory factor analysis. The study examined the influence of overconfidence, herding behavior, financial literacy, and risk perception on digital trading investment intention. Data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) with the WLSMV estimator in R (lavaan package), considering the ordinal nature of the indicators. This repository includes the anonymized dataset, survey instrument, informed consent form, codebook, and supporting documentation required to understand and reproduce the analyses reported in the associated manuscript.
