在基于回忆的个人和社会网络的启发中，遗忘对收集完整的网络数据和对网络特征和属性的无偏测量提出了潜在的重大问题。对文献的全面回顾表明，遗忘是一种普遍的、非平凡的现象，它以回忆为基础，引出与各种各样的社会关系有关的个人和社会网络。虽然一个人回忆起的人的数量与他或她忘记的人的数量适度正相关，但似乎没有很好的预测个人遗忘的比例水平的指标。人们似乎比强关系更容易忘记弱关系，但这一点的证据是混合的。无论如何，人们仍然会忘记很大一部分他们的亲密接触者。对其他相关人员的非特定提示、多重引出性问题和重新访谈可以轻微到中度地增强记忆，这是目前唯一可用的抵消遗忘的方法，尽管只是部分地。(C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有
Forgetting in the recall-based elicitation of personal and social networks poses a potentially significant problem for the collection of complete network data and unbiased measurement of network characteristics and properties. A comprehensive review of the literature shows that forgetting is a pervasive, non-trivial phenomenon in the recall-based elicitation of personal and social networks pertaining to a broad variety of social relations. There appear to be no good predictors of individuals' proportional level of forgetting, although the number of persons an individual recalls is moderately positively correlated with the number of persons he or she forgets. People seem to be more likely to forget weak ties than strong ties, but the evidence is mixed on this point. In any event, people still forget a significant proportion of their close contacts. Non-specific prompting for additional relevant persons, multiple elicitation questions, and re-interviewing enhance recall slightly to moderately and are the only methods currently available to counteract forgetting, albeit only partially.
