Empirical Research on Social Network Measurements and Multiple Population Analyses

社会网络分析在当今社会科学中越来越重要。然而，一些关于社交网络的实证研究结果往往不一致。其中一个原因是测量和变量的不同。本研究的目的在于厘清位置产生项目测量的效度与信度。在日本的Kiryu-shi、Suita-shi、Setagaya-ku、Fuchu-shi、Adachi-ku和Chuo-ku进行的随机抽样调查中，证实性因子分析和多种群分析支持计量不变量模型。

Social network analysis is getting important in social science these days. However, several empirical findings on social network tend to be inconsistent. One of the reasons is difference of measurements and variables. The purpose of this research is to clarify validity and reliability of measurements on position generator items. Confirmative factor analysis and multiple population analysis supported measurement invariant model in random sampling survey conducted at Kiryu-shi, Suita-shi, Setagaya-ku, Fuchu-shi, Adachi-ku and Chuo-ku in Japan.
