Alter composition with overlapping group memberships
In this paper, we examine common methods of analyzing network data in which we characterize nodes via categorical attributes. For example, we consider alter composition (counting the number of alters of a given type), alter heterogeneity (measuring the diversity of ego’s alters), homophily (similarity between ego and their alters) and Gould-Fernandez brokerage (assessing how often a node is in a position to broker between different categories). A…

Prismatic effects of negative ties
Audience perceptions of high‐status ties and network advantage
Social ties with high‐status others can be a potent signal of an individual's underlying quality and future promise. Individuals in competitive markets, therefore, have an incentive to publicly claim connections to high‐status others. However, cognitive limitations and biases can make social network connections difficult for observers to reliably discern, and claims to high‐status ties can go unrecognized by the audience. Our core contention is t…
Egocentric Network Analysis
Egocentric network analysis is used widely across the social sciences, especially in anthropology, political science, economics, and sociology, and is increasingly being employed in communications, informatics, and business and marketing studies. Egocentric network analysis requires a unique set of data collection and analysis skills that overlap only minimally with other network methodologies. However, until now there has been no single referenc…

The Collaboration Networks of Economic Development Organizations in Eastern Kentucky
This study describes the patterns of collaboration among economic development organizations (EDOs) in eastern Kentucky. Economic development organizations work to improve the economic conditions of their respective locales. They operate in a region facing many historical barriers to economic sustainability, and where resource scarcity is the norm. Given this distressed context, a deeper understanding of how these organizations work together provi…
Structure and Agency in Networked, Distributed Work
In this article, we examine the social structure of workplace relationships (both actual and desired ties) in networked distributed work. We focus on the role of human agency in forming networks needed to succeed in this environment. In particular, we address how employee work engagement enables individuals to occupy the network positions that they need in order to succeed in networked and virtual settings. We analyze a distributed team within a …

Social Network Research
Is social network analysis just measures and methods with no theory? We attempt to clarify some confusions, address some previous critiques and controversies surrounding the issues of structure, human agency, endogeneity, tie content, network change, and context, and add a few critiques of our own. We use these issues as an opportunity to discuss the fundamental characteristics of network theory and to provide our thoughts on opportunities for fu…

On Network Theory
Research on social networks has grown considerably in the last decade. However, there is a certain amount of confusion about network theory—for example, what it is, what is distinctive about it, and how to generate new theory. This paper attempts to remedy the situation by clarifying the fundamental concepts of the field (such as the network) and characterizing how network reasoning works. We start by considering the definition of network, noting…

The centrality of groups and classes
This paper extends the standard network centrality measures of degree, closeness and betweenness to apply to groups and classes as well as individuals. The group centrality measures will enable researchers to answer such questions as ‘how central is the engineering department in the informal influence network of this company?’ or ‘among middle managers in a given organization, which are more central, the men or the women?’ With these measures we …
Notions of Position in Social Network Analysis
The notion of position is fundamental in structural theory. However, at least two profoundly different conceptions of position exist. The two basic types of position have radically different characteristics, making them appropriate for different theoretical applications. We present examples in which scholars have operationalized one type of position but drawn conclusions as if the other type had been used. We compare the two notions of position i…

Regular equivalence
The theory of regular equivalence has advanced over the last 15 years on a number of different fronts. Notation and terminology have developed often making it difficult to obtain a coherent view of the area as a whole. This paper attempts to provide a framework in which to develop and explore the general mathematical theory of regular equivalence and to place a number of the more important results into that framework

Visualizing Proximity Data
In this article, the authors explore the use of graph layout algorithms for visualizing proximity matrices such as those obtained in cultural domain analysis. Traditionally, multidimensional scaling has been used for this purpose. The authors compare the two approaches to identify conditions when each approach is effective. As might be expected, they find that multidimensional scaling shines when the data are of low dimensionality and are compati…
A Statistical Method for Comparing Aggregate Data Across A Priori Groups
This article introduces a new method for statistically comparing pairs of aggregate data series. Aggregate data series refers to a set of values, each of which is averaged or otherwise aggregated across respondents. The motivating problem is the comparison of aggregate proximity matrices, such as those obtained from pile sort exercises. The standard approach to this problem uses the nonparametric, permutation-based quadratic assignment program (Q…
Ego‐centered and local roles
Structural equivalence (Lorrain and White, 1971) and automorphic equivalence (Everett, 1985) are generalized to define neighborhood‐ and ego‐centered equivalences. It is shown that local versions of these equivalences can then be formulated quite naturally. In addition to these natural localizations, a generalized procedure capable of localizing any model of role equivalence is presented. From a theoretical point of view, local roles are recommen…
