Three one-mode signed, weighted networks and a three-wave longitudinal network of monks (Sampson 1969)
Description
The data were collected for an ethnographic study of community structure in a New England monastery. Various sociometric data was collected of the novices attending the minor seminary of 'Cloisterville' preparing to join the monastic order:
-
ison_monastery_like
records whom novices said they liked most at three time points/waves -
ison_monastery_esteem
records whom novices said they held in esteem (sign > 0) and disesteem (sign < 0) -
ison_monastery_praise
records whom novices said they praised (sign > 0) and blamed (sign < 0) -
ison_monastery_influence
records whom novices said were a positive influence (sign > 0) and negative influence (sign < 0)
All networks are weighted. Novices' first choices are weighted 3, the second 2, and third choices 1. Some subjects offered tied ranks for their top four choices.
In addition to node names, a 'groups' variable records the four groups that Sampson observed during his time there:
The Loyal Opposition consists of novices who entered the monastery first and defended existing practices
The Young Turks arrived later during a period of change and questioned practices in the monastery
The Interstitial did not take sides in the debate
The Outcasts were novices that were not accepted in the group
Information about senior monks was not included.
While ison_monastery_like
is observed over three waves,
the rest of the data was recorded retrospectively from the end of the study,
after the network fragmented.
The waves in which the novitiates were expelled (1), voluntarily departed (2 and 3),
or remained (4) are given in the nodal attribute "left".
