A study of a large sociogram
Sociometry is concerned with networks of relationship among groups of people. If the group is very large, the work of tracing all the relationships becomes tedious, and the task of describing the resulting net precisely becomes impossible. Here the problem of such large sociometric nets is approached with probabilistic and statistical methods
Psychometric properties of component and global measures of structured interview assessed type A behavior in a population sample
Structured interview (SI) assessments of global and component Type A behavior were conducted in a general population sample of 903 respondents. Correlations among all the measures were positive and significant. A factor analysis revealed that the common component variance was explained by a single underlying factor. Interrater reliabilities were approximately 0.5 to 0.7 for the individual components and 0.8 for both the SI global Type A and a sec…
Demographic correlates of SI assessments of type A behavior
A survey interview and the structured Type A interview (SI) were administered to 903 residents of Washtenaw County, Michigan aged 18 or older selected by a multistage probability sample of households. No bivariate relationship was found between Type A behavior and sex or marital status. Type A behavior was positively related to income and education. The prevalence of Type A behavior was highest among those who were employed in white-collar occupa…
A study of a large sociogram III. Reciprocal choice probabilities as a measure of social distance
The reciprocation of friendship choices as revealed in a sociogram may be used to describe the social distance between persons in a large group. The probability of reciprocation is shown to be the result of a sequential choice process in which the best friend is chosen first, then second best, and so on, with the probability decreasing linearly with decreasing rank. The model derived from this process completely specifies the entire 8 by 8 matrix…

A mathematical model of participation in small group discussions
The frequency of verbal interactions among members of small discussion groups has been carefully studied in experiments by Bales and his associates at Harvard and by Stephan and Mishler at Princeton. Stephan suggested that the data could be described by a simple exponential equation, which has intrigued several mathematical sociologists because of its apparent generality in providing a concise statement of experimental results. The present paper …
