我们提出了在社会计量结构中建立互惠性、传递性和群体平衡（结构平衡的一种概括）的方法。这些方法应用于Newcomb（1961）研究提供的第二个社会计量数据时间序列。互惠的数量在开始时高于偶然水平，此后没有显示出系统的变化。及物性有一个非常不同的时间尺度。它在前九周稳步攀升，此后一直保持稳定。虽然与研究开始时的偶然性一致，但在第3周时，它增长到高于偶然性的水平。群体失衡在整个时期都有所下降。讨论了产生这些不同时间尺度的原因。
We present methods for establishing the amount of reciprocity, transitivity and group balance (a generalization of structural balance) in sociometric structures. These methods are applied to the second time series of sociometric data provided by the Newcomb (1961) study. The amount of reciprocity was above chance levels at the outset and showed no systematic variation thereafter. Transitivity has a very different time scale. It climbed steadily through the first nine weeks and remained stable thereafter. While consistent with chance at the beginning of the study period, it grew to above chance levels at week 3. Group imbalance declined throughout the entire period. The reasons for these different time scales are discussed.
