We argue the intent of this type of connection is to add to the reputational information about those connected and we test whether a network of such associations influence cultural recognition. To do this, we use dyadic connections between classical music composers created by conductors for orchestra performance and determine whether a composer’s symbolic association network (SAN) aids recognition in publications. We find SANs to have a significant impact on the extent of reputational recognition, even when holding a composer’s individual status achievements constant. Composers with a large symbolic association network and those who bridge unconnected composers tend to receive more recognition. We discuss the influence of symbolic association networks on perception of reputational significance. We suggest SANs may advance research in reputation and culture particularly when considering actors whose reputation is active beyond their work or lifetime, such as artists, writers, musicians, and historical figures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"79 ","pages":"Pages 198-208"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378873324000431/pdfft?md5=272aa0fc9439eae463d339ace55e0d19&pid=1-s2.0-S0378873324000431-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We briefly review the two-dimensional hierarchy of potential dependence structures for network tie variables that they outlined and provide proofs of the relationships among the model forms and of the nature of their sufficient statistics, noting that models in the hierarchy have the potential to reflect the outcome of processes of cohesion, closure, boundary and bridge formation and path creation over short or longer network distances. We then focus on the so-called <em>partial inclusion</em> dependence assumptions among network tie variables and the <em>pendant-triangle</em>, or <em>paw</em>, statistics to which they give rise, and illustrate their application in an empirical setting. We argue that the partial inclusion assumption leads to models that can reflect processes of boundary and bridge formation and that the model hierarchy provides a broad and useful framework for the statistical analysis of network data. We demonstrate in the chosen setting that pendant-triangle (or paw) effects, in particular, lead to a marked improvement in goodness-of-fit and hence add a potentially valuable capacity for modelling social networks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"79 ","pages":"Pages 187-197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378873324000406/pdfft?md5=4736b23e85701c944f6c79997f624b51&pid=1-s2.0-S0378873324000406-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the assumption that families are cohesive units with common goals and agendas does not hold, especially for large and powerful family dynasties. Internal conflicts and clan rivalries throughout history suggest that independent clans, rather than families, are the more appropriate level for aggregation. The increasing availability of large-scale genealogical datasets and advances in social network analysis allow this more fine-grained perspective to be implemented even without historical documentation on observed clan structures. This paper builds on socio-anthropological conceptualizations of kinship and on hierarchical clustering techniques to present a new method for identifying independent clans within families that relies only on network-dependent terms. I use simulated data and an empirical kinship network of families of early modern Basel, Switzerland to compare a clan detector algorithm’s performance with common community detection techniques. The historical accuracy of the clan structures detected is further assessed with various status indicators. The analyses show that the proposed clan detector algorithm is more suitable for identifying historically accurate clans than the traditional approaches. The application of the new method to the kinship network of Basel families sheds light on the city’s stratification into high- and low-status societies in which elite families were also divided into privileged and less privileged clans.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"79 ","pages":"Pages 168-186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378873324000418/pdfft?md5=4c9af084a15189ae5f11fbbb3988ff56&pid=1-s2.0-S0378873324000418-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141950990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study adopts stochastic actor-oriented models to test the evolution of these forms of procurement corruption risks in a longitudinal network study of 33579 construction contracts pertaining to Guatemalan local governments from 2012 to 2020. We identify a range of network configurations, based on past empirical research and theory, that capture different patterns of suspicious micro tendencies suggestive of corruption. We show how these micro tendencies shift in strength according to changes in electoral cycles and anti-corruption interventions, thus shedding light on how interventions may temporarily impact corrupt behavior, and how it may adapt and persist after a period of transition. The results indicate that collusion and spending concentration play significant roles in sustaining the risk of corrupt contract allocation, and that this behavior is able to rebound even after the introduction of anti-corruption interventions and new political regimes. The findings underscore the importance of local interventions and advocate for network approaches to enhance transparency, accountability, and long-term anti-corruption efforts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"79 ","pages":"Pages 154-167"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037887332400039X/pdfft?md5=6c960b32370e4c6d80fbb5015fc5dd2d&pid=1-s2.0-S037887332400039X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141949965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
