There was greater agreement when bully-victim relationships occurred between non-friends. When self- and peer-reports disagreed, peers identified more instances of boys engaging in bullying than girls, as well as more cross-sex than same-sex bully-victim relationships. Self-reports more often identified bully-victim relationships between friends than between non-friends. Post-hoc analyses revealed that bullies and their friends often had conflicting views of their friendship. Additionally, peers reported more victims per bully and fewer bullies per victim when compared to self-reports. These findings contribute to the understanding of the network structure of bully-victim perceptions and offer practical implications for identifying bully-victim relationships.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"83 ","pages":"Pages 62-78"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this approach, the number of people respondents report knowing in subpopulations of known size are scaled-up to estimate the size of their personal network. Because this method is sensitive to reporting errors, researchers often top-code responses about subpopulations of known size, although there is no consensus on how to select the top-code value. Here, we compare several top-coding methods, including new approaches that utilize Dunbar’s number, using datasets collected from two aggregated relational data surveys, one from Shanghai and one from Kambia, Sierra Leone. We employ three metrics to evaluate the top-coding strategies: mean error rates in the estimation of the subpopulations of known size, error rate in estimation of the target population, and degree mean. We find that the top-coding strategies all perform equally well in the estimation of the subpopulations of known size in both datasets. The strategies based on Dunbar’s number, however, performed better than the other strategies in the estimation of the target population in Kambia. In addition, the Dunbar’s number approaches produced substantially smaller degree means in both datasets. We examine these findings wholistically and provide suggestions for how researchers should approach top-coding decisions. We ultimately conclude that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution for top-coding and that researchers should systematically examine key indicators from the data to determine if top-coding is necessary and, if so, what top-coding strategy is appropriate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"83 ","pages":"Pages 50-61"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144262551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since a citation first requires a work to be published by a set of authors, we examine how the structure of coauthorship networks influences citation patterns. To investigate this relationship, we analyze the citation and collaboration behavior of Chilean astronomers from 2013 to 2015 using the Group-Oriented Relational Hyperevent Model, which allows us to study coauthorship and citation networks in a joint framework. Our findings suggest that when selecting which works to cite, authors favor recent research and maintain cognitive continuity across cited works.

Specifically, we focus on the effect of hierarchical structure, task specialization patterns, and geographical organization on the probability of tie formation by estimating dyadic regressions. We find: First, if both agents in a dyad are bosses, two effects of opposite sign are at work: a scale effect, that increases the probability, and a homophily effect, that decreases such probability. Second, organizational task homophily positively affects tie formation, while criminal task homophily does not. Third, the key geographical variable driving tie formation is joint membership to the same <em>mandamento</em>, which makes sheer geographical distance non-statistically significant.

The action of ratifying an IEA is influenced by national level characteristics as well as agreement characteristics. However, these agreements can also be seen as being connected through the overlapping countries that ratify them, while countries can be seen as connected through the agreements they choose to co-ratify. The implicit bipartite structure of the IEA network, constituted by both countries and treaties, can give rise to two distinct, yet interacting one mode networks. Exploring the factors that influence each network can build on our understanding of IEA ratification in the present as well as the past, while expanding our understanding of agreement ratification generally. Moreover, the central sociological theories addressing IEA ratification have implications for how categories of countries co-ratify at different rates, both individually and together. The aim of this study is to explore how categories of both countries and agreements are associated with varying rates of co-ratification and how these associations have changed over time. Our analysis employs newly coded network data from over 840 multilateral IEAs between 208 countries, ranging in signing date from 1857 to 2022; using both period-based and lagged analyses, we consider the effects of past and ongoing mechanisms of treaty ratification. Our findings demonstrate only modest support for regionalism, while suggesting an evolution in the patterning of co-ratification, with a regime change from a world systems configuration to a world society one over the past 20 to 30 years. In addition to providing a picture of the evolving IEA system, this work demonstrates how the use of network methods in combination with a dual focus of countries and treaties can further our knowledge of various forms of agreement ratification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"82 ","pages":"Pages 182-200"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze the respondents’ ratings of occupations on three dimensions of cultural meaning—evaluation (good versus bad), potency (powerful versus powerless), and activity (lively versus quiet). We take deviations of respondents’ individual ratings from population evaluation, potency and activity estimates, focusing on deviations from consensus rather than consensus itself. Drawing on Breiger's (1974) work on duality, we examine two projections of the initial rectangular matrix of correlated deviations. Our two projections represent (1) the cultural communities that people form when they differ from consensus in similar ways, and (2) the clusters of occupations that move in similar ways across those subcultures. Correlations among the residuals at the person level are indicators of shared subcultural differences from the mainstream—different ways of meaning-making about what is valuable and worthy about occupational work. At the occupation level, the structure represents schemas for which occupations share common elements and move together when those elements are evaluated differently. We use dyad models to investigate what metrics of occupation similarity predict similarity in deviations from consensus. We find that similarity in affective meaning (evaluation, potency and activity), material requirements, rewards, and work characteristics all predict clustering at the occupation level. Demographic composition of occupations is less important. We find that older respondents, White respondents, and higher income respondents tend to discriminate more between occupations on evaluation and potency. Respondents who are more similar in age have more similar patterns of deviations.
