CFA "How networks matter. Network mechanisms and effects" - Workshop in Bremen, Feb 6-7, 2020
by Betina Hollstein 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, attached der CfA für die (englischsprachige) Frühjahrstagung der Sektion Netzwerkforschung der DGS, die im Februar in Bremen stattfindet. Als Keynote konnten wir Mario L. Small (Harvard) gewinnen. Bewerbungsfrist (abstract) ist der 15. November. Wir hoffen auf eine anregende Tagung und würden uns freuen Sie in Bremen zu sehen. Herzliche Grüße, Betina Hollstein und Raphael Heiberger Spring Conference of the Section on Social Network Analysis of the German Sociological Association (DGS /GSA), February 6 and 7, 2020, University of Bremen, Germany How networks matter. Theoretical, methodological and empirical advances on network mechanisms and effects "The hallmark of network analysis," as stated by Edward O. Laumann, "is to explain, at least in part, the behavior of network elements … by appeal to specific features of the interconnections among the elements" (1979, p. 349). Ever since numerous studies have provided evidence for the impact of social networks on individual and collective action. Prominent network studies link the structure of relationships to attitudes and behavior of actors, such as the effect of social networks on academic prestige, economic success, diffusion of ideas, business innovation, finding employment, participation in social movements or family formation. Networks can affect behavior through social capital or social support or by means of social influence. Social influence can take various forms, such as contagion through actual personal contact or diffusion through structural equivalence (Burt 1987, Valente 2010). Channels of social influence can be social learning, social pressure, subjective obligation (Bernardi 2004, Keim et al. 2009) or different ways of brokerage and structurally connecting actors (Gould/Fernandez 1994, Passy 2004, Burt 2007, Obstfeld et al. 2013). Social capital and social support, too, can take different forms and work through different mechanisms, such as direct or buffering effects of social support, feedback processes, the invisible hand of social capital (Lin/Ao 2008) or unanticipated gains of social relationships (Small 2009). Influence can work through strong relationships, as family or friendship ties, but also via weak, hierarchical or competitive ties (Granovetter 1973, Burt 1987, Marsden/Friedkin 1993, Small 2009, Lin/Erickson 2010). Social Network Analysis comprises a multitude of data and methods to investigate network effects. Today’s increased technical possibilities, rapid methodological advancements and the growing availability of longitudinal and big data allow researchers to study networks on different scales by using various methods stemming from social research, computational and natural sciences. Besides, small-scale qualitative studies provide rich data on the practices and perceptions of individual actors, and contexts of social action. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of open questions with regard to the processes and mechanisms of how social networks matter and the conditions and contexts of networks effects. For instance, theoretical challenges are the modeling of the source and nature of social influence and network effects, and distinguishing between effects of media, the social environment and specific influencing individuals (Kadushin 2012). Still, a basic question is how interactional networks contribute to constructing reference groups as important aspects of social comparisons and social influence (Marsden/Friedkin 1993). Methodological challenges concern establishing causality and disentangling of influence and selection processes, among others. At the conference we will discuss theoretical, methodological and empirical challenges and advances in the study of network processes, mechanisms and effects. Especially, we would like to create the opportunity for exchange and dialogue between different, and often disconnected, theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to research on social networks. We invite papers contributing to the following topics: ● Theoretical concepts and models of the ways social networks affect individual and collective action; ● Methodological considerations and methodical advances on how to investigate social influence, network mechanisms and network effects, such as the smart combining of methods (multi-methods, mixed methods); ● Ways of treating the promises and problems arising from causality and the concurrency of influence and selection processes; ● Empirical studies on network effects and mechanisms in various areas of network research, such as personal networks, organizational networks, or social movements. Keynote: Mario L. Small (Harvard University) When and Where: ● February 6 & 7, 2020 ● University of Bremen, Germany Important dates: ● Sound abstract (max. 2 page) submission deadline: November 15, 2019 ● Notification of acceptance: December 1, 2019 Please submit your abstract to <mailto:raphael.heiberger@uni-stuttgart.de> raphael.heiberger(a)uni-stuttgart.de and <mailto:betina.hollstein@uni-bremen.de> betina.hollstein(a)uni-bremen.de Organizers: Raphael H.

Call for Papers: POQ special issue "New Data in Social and Behavioral Research"
by Florian Keusch 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Public Opinion Quarterly Special Issue Call for Papers: New Data in Social and Behavioral Research Deadline: February 1, 2020 Guest editors Frederick G. Conrad, University of Michigan, Editor Florian Keusch, University of Mannheim, Associate Editor Michael F. Schober, The New School, Associate Editor Public Opinion Quarterly seeks submissions for a special issue of the journal devoted to new types of data that might be used to conduct social or behavioral research either in conjunction with surveys, in place of surveys, or to address questions that cannot be addressed by surveys. Examples of these new data include social media posts, search strings, online prices, and sensor data such as location, activity, and sound. As such examples illustrate, these new data potentially can be used in social or behavioral research after having been repurposed, e.g., when researchers analyze search strings as a window onto public opinion even though the users who created these strings did so for entirely different reasons. Other times, these data are collected directly for their intended purpose (Taylor 2013), e.g., when smartphone owners are recruited into a study so that researchers may capture their mobility using the sensors built into their devices. Regardless of the origin of these new data, they are markedly different from survey data. In stark contrast to survey responses that are produced by asking carefully crafted questions, these new data are not elicited by the researchers who later analyze them. In contrast to designed survey data, the structure of these new data is often not known ahead of time. Instead, these data are “organic” (Groves 2011), i.e., continuously generated byproducts of everyday processes. And, compared to survey data sets, these new data are massive and generally far less expensive to create. Much has been written and spoken about the promise of these new data for conducting social and behavioral research (e.g., the AAPOR Big Data task-force report; Japec et al. 2015). The contributions published in the special issue will help assess how well this promise has been realized so far and will help sharpen predictions of future success using these alternative data. Potential topics for submissions include, but are certainly not limited to: * The integration of social media content with survey data * The use of call records and other mobile network operating data to study behavior * Analysis of administrative records to reduce survey costs and burden on respondents * Issues of ethics and privacy when using these new data * Measurement error in new data sources * The feasibility of tracking public opinion via Internet search terms and browsing behavior * Comparison of estimates from self-reports and data collected passively with sensors Submissions can be methodological in orientation or can be substantive applications that demonstrate the usefulness and assess the validity of these new data sources. The issue is scheduled for publication in early 2021. Submissions of relevant research articles, research syntheses, and research notes are welcome and will be considered through February 1, 2020. Manuscripts should be uploaded at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/poq, following the manuscript preparation instructions provided on the journal’s website. To ensure consideration in the special issue, authors must include a cover letter that clearly states that the manuscript has been submitted for consideration for the 2021 “New Data special issue.” Submissions will be peer-reviewed in accord with standard journal practice. Queries about this special issue should be directed to Frederick Conrad (fconrad(a)umich.edu) using the subject line “2021 New Data Special Issue.” References Groves, Robert M. 2011. “Three Eras of Survey Research.” Public Opinion Quarterly 75:861-71.
