Dynamic Evolution Analysis of Social Network in cMOOC Based on RSiena Model

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2022
The network is a key concept which has been highly valued in connectivism. Research about the static characteristics of social networks in connectivist learning has been carried out in recent years, however, little knowledge exists regarding the ...

The Meeting of Minds: Forging Social and Intellectual Networks within Universities

open access: yesSociological Science, 2020
How are social and intellectual relations structured and given shape within research universities? To answer these questions, we test to what extent various theoretically predicted processes explain the dynamics of academics’ networks of collaboration ...

The Role of Cognitive Emotion Regulation for Making and Keeping Friend and Conflict Networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
We used social network analysis (SNA) to examine how adaptive ER strategies (acceptance, positive reappraisal, refocusing, and putting in perspective) and maladaptive ER strategies (rumination, catastrophizing, self- and other-blame) predict the creation

Analysing animal social network dynamics: the potential of stochastic actor‐oriented models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2017
Summary Animals are embedded in dynamically changing networks of relationships with conspecifics. These dynamic networks are fundamental aspects of their environment, creating selection on behaviours and other traits. However, most social network‐based approaches in ecology are constrained to considering networks as static, despite several calls for

A theoretical and empirical comparison of the temporal exponential random graph model and the stochastic actor-oriented model [PDF]

open access: yesNetwork Science, 2019
AbstractThe temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM) and the stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM, e.g., SIENA) are popular models for longitudinal network analysis. We compare these models theoretically, via simulation, and through a real-data example in order to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses.
