The dynamics of intergenerational closure and family networks of social cohesion
We investigate the correlation of ties among school-children's parents with violence in schools, and two mechanisms of intergenerational closure (IC). Coleman described ties among parents of befriended children as IC.

Relative importance of effects in stochastic actor-oriented models [PDF]
AbstractA measure of relative importance of network effects in the stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) is proposed. The SAOM is a parametric model for statistical inference in longitudinal social networks. The complexity of the model makes the interpretation of inferred results difficult. So far, the focus is on significance tests while the relative

Social Support and Network Formation in a Small-Scale Horticulturalist Population
Evolutionary studies of cooperation in traditional human societies suggest that helping family and responding in kind when helped are the primary mechanisms for informally distributing resources vital to day-to-day survival (e.g., food, knowledge, money,

Generalized Trust and Social Selection Process
Generalized trust relieves individuals in a socially uncertain situation from dyadic constraints of existing ties and helps them change ties with other individuals to acquire better resources.

Statistical methods for the estimation of contagion effects in human disease and health networks
Contagion effects, sometimes referred to as spillover or influence effects, have long been central to the study of human disease and health networks. Accurate estimation and identification of contagion effects are important in terms of understanding the ...
