2 home reflectionAbstract  Many quantitative analyses in the social sciences are applied to data regarding characteristics of people, but not to data describing interactions among people. But interactions play an important role in affecting people’s behavior and beliefs that cannot be explained purely in terms of individual attributes or organizational context. In this workshop we will focus on analyzing social network data (who interacts with whom) so that we can relate people's interactions with what they think and do. We draw on statistical concepts that account for the unusual nature of network data as well as substantive theories across the social sciences to specify and interpret social network models.  Topics include models of influence through a social network, choices in a social network, clustering and graphical representations; ethical issues and IRB, and software. Throughout examples are given using simple toy data and analyses in published papers.  Students taking this workshop should have roughly one year of applied statistics so that they are extremely comfortable with the general linear model (regression and ANOVA), and analysis of 2x2 tables. 2

50 Concerns about Causality 50 Outcome behavior Prior behavior Behavior of network members selection influence

51 Answer: Control for Prior Behavior! 51 There are heightened concerns about potential dependencies in estimating any social network model (e.g., Robins et al., 2007; Steglich, Snijders and Pearson, 2010 ). Regarding model 91) estimated influence is biased if the errors are not independent of the network exposure term (see Ord, 1975, equations 1.2-1.4); the estimate of influence will be positively biased if there is some unexplained aspect of enforcement behavior that is related to the network exposure. The most compelling source of such dependencies would be if people choose to interact with others whose behaviors are similar to their own, known as selection in the network literature. Those who tended to engage in enforcement at time 1 might have chosen to interact with similar others between time 1 and time 2, and also would have been inclined to engage in enforcement behaviors at time 2. Because the network exposure term is likely confounded with prior enforcement behavior, model 1 includes a control for prior enforcement behavior. A second concern in the influence model would arise if the model of a fisherman’s behaviors was a function of the contemporaneous behaviors of his/her network members. This would essentially put the outcome on both sides of the model in which case the errors would be directly related to the exposure term. It is for this reason that we model enforcement behavior as a function of the previous behaviors of others in one’s network. This avoids creating dependenices beteween the errors and predictors by putting the same variables on both sides of the model. Even given our approach there may still be concerns about omitted variables that create dependencies between the errors and the exposure term.

Education, Evaluation and Policy Analysis. Vol 35: 437-460. Abstract Abstract We contribute to debate about causal inferences in educational research in two ways. First, we quantify how much bias there must be in an estimate to invalidate an inference. Second, we utilize Rubin’s causal model (RCM) to interpret the bias necessary to invalidate an inference in terms of sample replacement. We apply our analysis to an inference of a positive effect of Open Court Curriculum on reading achievement from a randomized experiment, and an inference of a negative effect of kindergarten retention on reading achievement from an observational study. We consider details of our framework, and then discuss how our approach informs judgment of inference relative to study design. We conclude with implications for scientific discourse.

82 home reflection Definitions of Social Capital Alejandro Portes (1998 "Social Capital: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology." Annual Review of Sociology, Vol 24, pages 1-24, page 7): “...the consensus is growing in the literature that social capital stands for the ability of actors to secure benefits by virtue of membership in social networks or other social structures.” (emphasis added) See also Nan Lin: (1999. Building a network theory of social capital. Connections, 22(1), 28-51.): Refers to social capital as “Investment in social relations by individuals through which they gain access to embedded resources to enhance expected returns of instrumental or expressive actions. (emphasis added) 82

83 Social Capital and the Network Effect Social Capital= potential to access resources through social relations Resource =Expertise Social relation=relation with colleague, help from teacher i’ to teacher I is the tie marking when the resource flows 83

84 Modification: Capacity to Convey Resource Knoke: account for probability that resource is conveyed through any interaction Proxy for ability to convey help: amount of help provided to others 84

88 home reflection Metric Based on Expertise/Day  WY is an interaction:  units = days per year x expertise  Solution 1: interpret standardized coefficients  Network effect as strong as perceptions  Solution 2:  Divide by number of days in a year: WY/365,  new metric is access to expertise per day .23WY =.23Help x Expertise=84Help x Expertise/365  Access of one unit of expertise per day increases number of uses of computers by 84 per year.  Solution 3: If you use the mean for the exposure term, and the interactions are unweighted, then the metric for the exposure term is the same as for one’s own prior belief/behavior, and you can compare the coefficient for exposure with the coefficient for the prior. 88

Through what mechanisms due actors influence each other? What is conveyed through a tie or relation that could change an actor’s belief or behavior? C) write down a model of influence 1) How should W be specified -- what is the relation? 2) What is the time interval during which interaction occurs With a partner III) Critique the other person’s influence model A) Does the model capture the theoretical influence processes? If not, what needs to be added or modified? B) Does the time interval seem reasonable? C) Is the process based on cohesion or structural equivalence?

167 home reflection Scenarios for the Network analyst For each of the scenarios below, identify the theoretical processes at work write down what model or tool you would employ to evaluate the theory. describe what data you would collect to apply the model or tool to describe what estimation procedure/tool you would use. Sally is concerned that her daughter is experimenting with alcohol and thinks it is because her daughter’s friends are experimenting. Sally wonders generally if adolescents tend to drink more if their friends drink alcohol. Michael wants to understand the social structure of his synagogue (church). He has an idea that there are certain sets of people who interact with each other, and, if he could understand what those sets of people are, he might better be able to tailor programs of the synagogue to be more effective. How could Michael use the information above track the diffusion of new beliefs or behaviors in his synagogue? Pennie wants to know under what conditions one social service agency would allocate resources to another. Is it because they have a history of doing so, they share clients, they deal with similar issues, etc. What clustering among social service agencies might emerge as a result of the processes above? 167

168 Centrality: The Strength of the Connection between an Actor and the Network   Freeman, L. C. (1978/1979). Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification. Social Networks, 1, 215-239.   Degree: number of ties to node i   Betweeness: proportion of geodisics (connecting paths) between j and k that go through i.   Closeness: total number of edges required to link i to all others   See http://www.soc.duke.edu/~jmoody77/s884/syllabus_09.htm http://www.soc.duke.edu/~jmoody77/s884/syllabus_09.htm   Bonacich (1972): eigen vector   The centrality of a given person (ei) depends on the centrality of the people to whom the person is tied (wii’=1 if i and i’ are related, 0 otherwise):   The elements in e then represent the components of the eigen vector of W – do a factor analysis of W e i is the centrality of actor i. w ii is the network data. λ is a constant 168

169 Bonacich Centrality Revised 169

170 home reflection Critique of Centrality  Individualistic, not view of network  Does not explicitly account for resources flowing through ties  Structural  Empirically, centrality often not a strong predictor of individual outcomes (exception: Ron Burt’s work)  Can model actor in-degree or out-degree using p2  Can model effect of network ties + resources using influence 170

171 home reflection Centralization -- the Centrality of the System   How does the pattern of communication in organization A differ from that in organization B, and how are these patterns formed by characteristics external to the organization?   Freeman: distribution of centrality   Compare measures against the maximal measure in the graph   -- but what if there is more than one actor who is highly extreme in centrality? 171

176 home reflection Centralization & Centrality in KliqueFinder  KliqueFinder produces a measure of Warp.  Starts with distances defined by  Maximum value in network / observed value  E.g. maximum is 4 and a particular tie is 1, then distance is 4/1=4.  These are the distances used in the MDS to produce the sociograms (see “running KliqueFinder ppt”)  Obtains eigen values  within each cluster based on raw data within cluster  Between clusters based on 1/density of ties between clusters  Density=average value in a given block  Warp =sum of positive eigen values/sum of all eigen values  Note it does not use the square toot of the eigen values  Output into xxxxxx.bcord (9th element) and into netdraw as node attribute for groups, called “centrality”  Centrality for individuals is distance to the center of their subgroup (radius). 176

182 home reflection The SRI/KLiqueFinder Solution to confidentiality: aggregate to subgroups 1) Provide information about who is in which cluster as well as information regarding the resources embedded in each cluster. Resources could be information, expertise, material resources, etc. Benefit: reveals location of resources relative to social; structure Protection: does not reveal specific responses because all information is at the cluster level. 2) Provide locations from in a sociogram unique for each respondent, indicating where that person is located (“you are here”). But figure does not include the lines from a sociogram, so respondents cannot infer others’ responses. Benefit: Respondents then use this as a guide to individual behavior for identifying further resources or information. Protection: Specific responses of others not revealed, so confidentiality preserved.

192 Influence Exercise: Answers Assume Bob talks to Sue with frequency 1, to Lisa with frequency 3 and not at all to Jane. Last year (at time 1), Sue’s organic farming implementation was a 9, Lisa’s was a 5 and Jane’s was 2. What is the mean exposure of Bob to his peers regarding organic farming? Sum=1x9+3x5+0x2=24 N= 2 (number Bob talks to) or 3 (number of people) or 4 (number of interactions)? Hmmmmmm. Mean = 24/2=12 or 24/3=8 or 24/4=6. Or, use the sum? Specify a model with two sources of exposure (e.g., within versus between subgroups Let s ii’ =1 if i and i’ are in the same subgroup, 0 otherwise Return to influence 192

197 home reflection Bounds on ρ (Based in part on dissertation by Jiqiang Xu)  Ord says 1/λ min < ρ < 1/λ max, λ is an eigen value  likelihood =G[OLS, ∑ a ln(1-ρλ a )]  Alternative: eigen values and eigen vectors (V):  λV =WV → V =(1/ λ)WV  Perfect fit if ρ=1/ λ,  eigen value λ a  with Y = corresponding eigen vector, V a 197

198 W= Y= OLS estimate of ρ = 1.21, R 2 =.97 OLS estimate of ρ =.5, R 2 =.99 198

199 home reflection Substantive Restriction on Y  1/λ min < ρ < 1/λ max to confine to largest component  What if there are multiple components?  Separate estimate of ρ in each component, average over components?  Standardize: z(ρ)= p/(1/λ max -1/λ min ) 199
