Evaluation of survey measurement instruments for measuring social networks

Evalvacija kakovosti merskih instrumentov za merjenje socialnih omrežij = Evaluation of survey measurement instruments for measuring social networks</serName> <serInfo source="producer">Empirical research in the social sciences presupposes data of certain quality; data have, at least, to be valid and reliable. Analysis of ego-centered survey network data quality is quite rare, owing to the complex "nested design" where each respondent reports about her/his connections with several other individuals. Analyses of complete network data quality are even less frequent. Present studies avoids the...

Abstract

On the basis of theoretical and empirical findings, one network generator was designed to measure theoretically firmly established social support dimension. The contest of network generator measuring social informational support exchange was adjusted to the characteristics of the experimental group - members and advisors of the Student Government at the University in Ljubljana. Experimental variations included the provision of one response scale (a binary scale), two data collection techniques (recognition and a free recall), two directions of support exchange (original and reversed questions) and elapsed time between repeated measurements (20 minutes).
