Introduction to social network analysisIntroduction
Introducing SNA
Rise of online social networkingservices:⇒ social networks to the fore.New interest for social networkanalysis (SNA).Yet networks have always existed!Likewise, SNA now has a longhistory.

Networks for behaviour change: smoking prevention
Network of friendships among sixth grade pupils.
Squares = girls, circles = boys; blue = smokers, red = non-smokers. Valente et al. 2003.

Introduction to social network analysisWhat is SNA
Defining SNA
An approach to human behaviours and social interactions.
A set of specific analytical and statistical methods.
A special type of data (and techniques of data collection).
A set of visualisation tools.

What is a network
What is a network —a formal definition
= A set of units (nodes) connectedby one or more relations (ties)
What is a node?⇒ Depends on setting: person,group/organisation, object.
What is a tie?⇒ A relation or a shared trait:friendship, advice, exchange,co-work.

What is a network
Graphs and networks
Circles (A, B) represent nodes.
Lines (e.g. between A and B) representties/edges.
Graph visualizes the whole structure ofties of a defined group.
Graphical conventions (colours, size ofnodes and/or ties) can be added to showattributes.
For example: if this is a network offriendship, blue = boys, red = girls.

The network perspective
A new perspective
SNA requires a change of mindset withrespect to other social science approaches.
Emphasis is on relationships, notattributes.
Not just dyadic relationships (just A andB), but dyadic relationships as embeddedin a whole set of relationships.

Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Data type 1: Ego networks
The whole set of contacts (alters) ofone person or entity (ego).
Usually includes attributes of altersand ties between them.
Usually collected for a sample of egos(e.g. in a survey).
Typically, graphically represented withego at its centre (star-shaped).

Data type II: Whole networks
Mapping the whole set of ties of aparticular group, setting or population.
Not focused on one particular personor entity.
Network boundaries must bewell-defined.
Examples: network of friends in aclassroom; network ofknowledge-sharing between employeesof an organisation.

Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Data storage: traditional social science
Social science data are usually represented in the form of a rectangulartable, where each row is an observation, each column is a variable: For
example:
name age gender marriedJane 25 0 0Mary 31 0 0Bob 29 1 1Sue 28 0 1Alan 32 1 0Tom 29 1 1
![Page 35: Introduction to social network analysis - · PDF fileIntroductiontosocialnetworkanalysis Introduction Motivation Networksforbehaviourchange: smokingprevention Networkoffriendshipsamongsixthgradepupils](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021421/5a9e082d7f8b9a39338bf2bd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Network data storage I: matrix
Network data can be stored as a n-by-n square matrix with all nodeslisted in both columns and rows.The value of cell (i, j) in the matrix indicates whether the node i and thenode j are connected (1) or not (0).The diagonal is meaningless.
For example, for a friendship network:
Jane Mary Bob Sue Alan TomJane 1 1 0 0 0Mary 1 0 1 0 0Bob 1 0 0 1 0Sue 0 1 0 1 0Alan 0 0 0 1 1Tom 0 0 0 0 1

Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Data storage II: Edge list
The edge list stores each pair of connected nodes in a single row of atable.
For example, for the same friendship network:
ego alterJane MaryJane BobMary SueBob AlanAlan TomAlan Susan

Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Which format to choose
Most network analysis packages support both formats.
Some provide conversion facilities (e.g. UCINET: edge list tomatrix).
It is usually possible to combine network data (in matrix or edge listformat) and attributes.
A rectangular table is usually needed for attribute data —as intraditional social science.
![Page 38: Introduction to social network analysis - · PDF fileIntroductiontosocialnetworkanalysis Introduction Motivation Networksforbehaviourchange: smokingprevention Networkoffriendshipsamongsixthgradepupils](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021421/5a9e082d7f8b9a39338bf2bd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Introduction to social network analysisData
Data format
Some general rules
Matrix visually appealing when nodeset is small, but difficult tohandle when it is large (because all possible pairs must be explicitlyincluded).
With large node sets, edge list is more convenient (because onlyexisting ties need to be listed).

Tie data I
Directed ties:
Tie goes from one node to another, butnot necessarily back.
E.g. Advice-giving, money-lending.
Usual graphical representation: arrow.
When directed ties do go in bothdirections, they are reciprocal ties.
Usual graphical representation: doublearrow.

Binary and valued ties
Binary ties indicate presence or absence of tie
Valued ties can be stronger or weaker, undersome definition of strength:
Emotional closeness;Frequency of contact;Duration of Relationships.
Graphically: line (arrow) thickness oftenrepresents strength of tie.

Storing valued ties in a edge list
The edge list can include a third column with attributes of each tie.
In our friendship example, we can include duration of friendship:

Introduction to social network analysisData
Data collection
How to identify nodes
Ego-network data collections often included in larger surveys.
Whole network data collection requires defining network boundaries,for example:
Members of an organisation;Students of one school;Attendees of one particular event.
N.B. collection of whole network data needs to be exhaustive–sensitive to response rate.

Data collection
Collecting network data through surveys: name generatorsand interpreters
Name generators are questions to elicit respondents’ alters, for example:
From time to time, most people discuss important matterswith other people. Looking back of the last six months, whoare the people with whom you discussed matters important toyou. Just tell me their names or initials.(General Social Survey, 1985)
Can be accompanied by name interpreters to report alter characteristicsand identify ties between alters.

Data collection
Collecting network data through surveys: rosters
Provide respondents with a list of potential network members and askthem to choose from the list those to whom they are tied, for example:
Here is the list of all the members of your Firm.Would you go through this list, and check the names of thoseyou socialize with outside work. You know their family, theyknow yours, for instance. I do not mean all the people you aresimply on a friendly level with, or people you happen to meetat Firm functions.(Lazega, 2001)

Data collection
Collecting network data through surveys: rosters (cont.)
Used for whole network studies.
Also useful as a memory-aid.

Only feasible for relatively small networks (e.g. schools, companies).

Data collection
Collecting network data from archives
For example: contract data from companies’ financial statements;citations data, from publishers’ portals.
Depends on the quality of the archive and the actual availability ofnetwork information.
Need to ensure definition of ties is consistent and data are reporteduniformly across all nodes.
Need to ensure completeness (for whole networks).

Based on the mathematics of graph theory, refined with socialscience concepts.
A variety of algorithms, measures and software applications areavailable.

Size
Size
Network size = number of nodes (= number of contacts in apersonal network);
The “Dunbar number”: cognitive limitations restrict the size ofpersonal networks to about 150 contacts;
An open question: have social media increased human capacity tomaintain relationships?
Median network size on Facebook = 99, average about 150 - 200(though large variation).

Density
The proportion of ties that actually exist and the ties that couldexist in principle:
