25
connection of the member to build network
INTERMEMBER RELATIONS
26
The study or relations among individuals in groups.
Social Network Analysis (SNA)
27
- The degree of connectedness of group's members, as indexed by the number of actual ties linking members divided by the number of possible ties; link to one another the impact of the group
Density
28
- The number of ties between group members; the group's degree centrality is the average of the direct connections among group members. (Ex. person 20)
Degree Centrality
29
Number of links TO others
Outdegree
30
- Number of links FROM others
Indegree
31
- The degree to which a group member's position in a network is located along a path between other pairs of individuals in the network. (Ex. person 1)
Betweenness
32
- The distance, in terms of ties, of an individual from all others in the network. (Ex. person 12)
Closeness
33
The gradual rise of some group members to positions of greater authority, accompanied by decreases in the authority exercised by the other members. * stable variations in members' relative dominance and authority have such names as ranking.
Status Differentiation

----- status vs. ------status

assumes that interpersonal relationship can either be balanced (without stress) or unbalanced (with stress)

Fritz Heider
42
Regular patterns of information exchange among members;
COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

44
Roughly equal number of channels at each position

Upward vs. Downward Communication
49
is a powerful conceptual and methodological tool that provides a clearer understanding of the unseen group structures that underlie recurring patterns of interpersonal behaviors in groups.
Systematic Multiple Level Observation of Groups (SYMLOG)
50
- Is this member active, outgoing, and talkative, or passive, quiet, and introverted?
Up versus Down, or dominance/submissiveness
51
- Is this member warm, open, and positive or negative and irritable?
Positive versus Negative, or friendliness/unfriendliness

Forward versus Backward, or acceptance/non-acceptance of authority
