Network research deals with structures. One can imagine that a certain “mass” is necessary for the determination and interpretation of structure. If it’s only about two people (nodes), then only one relationship (edge) can arise, or two if it’s an asymmetric relationship. In this case, the relationship from person A to person B would be different than the other way around. So we start with three, the so-called triads. Here, relatively complex constellations can already be present. These can be interpreted in terms of content or form. As more people are added, the structures also change. They also become more complex. So let’s start with the consideration of triads.

摘要

Network research deals with structures. One can imagine that a certain “mass” is necessary for the determination and interpretation of structure. If it’s only about two people (nodes), then only one relationship (edge) can arise, or two if it’s an asymmetric relationship. In this case, the relationship from person A to person B would be different than the other way around. So we start with three, the so-called triads. Here, relatively complex constellations can already be present. These can be interpreted in terms of content or form. As more people are added, the structures also change. They also become more complex. So let’s start with the consideration of triads.
