社会网络分析在社会科学中很重要，然而，有许多不同类型的衡量标准和变量。关于社交网络的几个经验发现往往是不一致的。本研究的目的是澄清位置发生器项目测量的效度和可靠性。在日本Kiryu、Suita、Setagaya和Fuchu进行的随机抽样调查中，验证性因素分析支持测量不变量模型。

Social network analysis is important in social science, however, there are many so different kinds of measurements and variables. Several empirical findings on social network tend to be inconsistent. The purpose of this research is to clarify validity and reliability of measurements on position generator items.
