Colleagues,
I'm working on some research that evaluates how knowledge of a person's
social network decreases with increased path lengths between individuals.
Does anyone know of any work that is being done in this area or any
references that might help?
A similar question that I'm looking at regards homophily. A clique of
individuals within a social network might be strongly related to each
other. But as we move to the fringes of that clique, individuals on the
periphery might share less in common with those who are central in the
clique. If we leave the clique and move to another one, we might find that
individuals in the new clique are not related at all to the individuals
from the first clique, or they share very few common attributes. Has anyone
attempted to quantify these properties and are there references out there
on it? Thanks, Matt
