This chapter treats statistical methods for network evolution with a focus on models where a continuous-time network evolution is assumed although the observations are made at discrete time points.
Social NetworksPsychological predispositions and network structure: The relationship between individual predispositions, structural holes and network closure
409 Citations2005Yuval Kalish, Garry Robins
The results suggest that people who see themselves vulnerable to external forces tend to inhabit closed networks of weak connections, and people who seek to keep their strong tie partners apart, and thereby bridge structural holes, tend to be individualists, to believe that they control the events in their lives, and to have higher levels of neuroticism.
Social NetworksPersonal network integration: transitivity and homophily in strong-tie relations
397 Citations2000Hugh Louch
Using a national sample of individual's personal networks, the paper reveals that transitivity explains a majority of cases of network integration with two important caveats: recent work on networks and social structure points to important structural constraints on personal networks that shape their formation and homophily improves the likelihood of integration in personal networks.

382 Citations2010Diana Mok, Barry Wellman +1 more
The study concludes that e-mail has only somewhat altered the way people maintain their relationships, and shows that face-to-face contact among socially close friends and relatives has hardly changed between the 1970s and the 2000s, although the frequency of phone contact has slightly increased.

332 Citations2003Matthijs Kalmijn
Bivariate results and multilevel regression analyses indicate that friendship networks become smaller over the life course, although these changes primarily occur when people start dating and enter wedlock.
Structure in personal networks

Graph-based measures of cohesion and subgroups revealed variability in the personal network structure and the value of contrasting individual matrix results to the norm as defined by all 45 subjects.

Social NetworksImpact of methods for reducing respondent burden on personal network structural measures
273 Citations2007Christopher McCarty, Peter D. Killworth +1 more
Methods for reducing respondent burden in evaluating alter–alter ties on a set of network structural measures are examined, finding that network structure is captured with samples of less than 20 alters; other measures are less consistent.
Social NetworksDid distance matter before the Internet?
267 Citations2007Diana Mok, Barry Wellman
Multi-level analysis is applied to assess the extent contact and support declines with distance, showing a marked drop in the frequency of face-to-face contact at about 5 miles and substantial declines happening at about 50 and 100 miles.

Social NetworksThe stability of core and peripheral networks over time
250 Citations1997David L. Morgan, Margaret B. Neal +1 more
It is found that instability in these networks is best thought of in terms of an underlying ‘core-periphery’ structure, whereby some network members are likely to be named repeatedly (the core), while others are relatively unlikely to appear in any given elicitation of the network (the periphery).
Social NetworksMultilevel analysis of personal networks as dependent variables

It is shown that multilevel methods are particularly well-suited for the analysis of relations in personal networks and the changes in these relations.

121 Citations2006Elizabeth C. Costenbader, Nan Marie Astone +1 more
The findings from this study show that, over and above IDUs' baseline characteristics, changes in their personal networks are associated with changes in individuals' risky injection behaviors, and suggest that interventions aimed at reducing HIV risk among IDUs might benefit from increasingIDUs' social contacts with individuals who are not drug users.
Social NetworksThe dynamics of personal networks at the time of entry into adult life
118 Citations2004Alain Degenne, Marie-Odile Lebeaux
The personal network appears to be the central means by which integration is achieved during each stage of the life cycle, and the existence of a core of stable relationships also seems to play a fundamental role.

It is suggested that studies of change can focus on: (1) individual ties, or whole personal networks; and (2) whether ties are gained or lost, or change their characteristics over time.
