Structural cohesion

Moody and White 2003

News: Nov. 2001: In our sample of ~350 early adolescent networks. I created a stability score for a peer-group assignment clustering; then within each of those clusters calculated k-cohesion; and it's a very strong predictor of stability over time. The more cohesive the structure, the more stable the group. Net of just about anything you want to throw at the model... Fun!

p. 410: First, I describe the domain of individual membership attitudes and behaviors, on the basis of which some investigators have defined groups as more or less cohesive. Second, I describe the domain of group-level conditions, on the basis of which other investigators have defined groups as more or less cohesive. I develop the argument that these group-level conditions of cohesion are either derivative properties of the distribution of individual-level indicators of cohesion or causal antecedents of these indicators. Third, I point to recent work on mechanisms that reciprocally link the group-level conditions of cohesion and the individual-level indicators of cohesion.
