Advances in Social Network Analysis Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences

In this book, leading methodologists address the issue of how effectively to apply the latest developments in social network analysis to behavioural and social science disciplines. Topics examined include: ways to specify the network contents to be studied; how to select the method for representing network structures; how social network analysis has been used to study interorganizational relations via the resource dependence model; how to use a contact matrix for studying the spread of disease in epidemiology; and how cohesion and structural equivalence network theories relate to studying social influence. The book also offers some statistical models for social support networks.Wasserman, Stanley is the author of 'Advances in Social Network Analysis Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences' with ISBN 9780803943032 and ISBN 0803943032.
