Abstract |
This paper is concerned with the social network utility of cognitive data obtained by having people judge the similarity of other people without investigator-specified criteria. Substantively, we focus on networks of Alaskan salmon fishermen as derived from two sets of behavioral data (one pertaining to patterns of co-residence, another revealing patterns of economic exchange), and one set of cognitive data. These data are analyzed for multiplexity in network subgroupings. Findings show that, in this instance, a cognitive measure of similarity splits the difference between two categories of behavioral data. Implications of this for social network research are discussed. |
