社会网络分析方法从"关系"的角度测量和描述个体之间的联系,揭示群体结构及其与心理行为的相互作用,是人际关系研究的新取向。从整体社会网络分析研究取向出发,以高一年级三个班的友谊关系网络分析为例阐述方法应用过程。社群图分析发现三个班的友谊网络有中等程度网络密度,同性间比异性间的交往密度大;指数随机图模型分析发现密度、混—2—星对网络形成有负向的作用,互惠性和三角关系对网络有正向作用,性别和学业水平两个属性变量的绝对差对网络有负向作用。社会网络分析方法可进一步拓展应用到青少年人际关系形成、发展的研究。
Social network analysis (SNA) is a method which uses for social connections. It described in- terpersonal relationships from "relation" aspect, revealed the community structure and its interaction with psychological characteristics and behavior, was described as a new approach for relationship. In this study, the whole social network was used to study friendship of three classes from ten grade to explain using process of SNA. Network diagrams revealed moderate density between 0.1163-0.1427, students tended to build relationship within same-sex. The exponential random graph models found that edges and m2star had negative effects while mutual and triangle had positive effects on network. The SNA should be extended to study development of relation in adolescents.
