负联结的理论研究主要集中在单负联结网络和多负联结网络。我们研究了在同一组演员上测量的积极和消极关系网络之间的根本差异。我们测试了282名大学生的正面（情感/自尊）和负面（不喜欢/不尊重）网络上的六种领带形成机制。虽然两个网络中都存在受欢迎程度、活跃度和吸引力，但封闭性、互惠性和同质性在负面关系网络中基本上不存在。我们认为这是因为回避是消极情绪所固有的。回避通过负面联系和短路累积因果关系减少了信息传递。(C)2016爱思唯尔B. V.保留所有权利。
Theorising of negative ties has focused on simplex negative tie networks or multiplex signed tie networks. We examine the fundamental differences between positive and negative tie networks measured on the same set of actors. We test six mechanisms of tie formation on face-to-face positive (affect/esteem) and negative (dislike/disesteem) networks of 282 university students. While popularity, activity, and entrainment are present in both networks, closure, reciprocity, and homophily are largely absent from negative tie networks. We argue this arises because avoidance is inherent to negative sentiments. Avoidance reduces information transfer through negative ties and short-circuits cumulative causation. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
