highschool — Illinois high school students (1958)

Description

Friendships among the 73 boys of a small high school in Illinois, from the research reported by J. S. Coleman (1964). In the fall of 1957 and in the spring of 1958, the boys were asked: "What fellows here in school do you go around with most often?" The data were distributed by L. C. Freeman on his network data page at the University of California, Irvine (no longer online), from which this version was obtained via the Internet Archive.

A directed edge (i, j) indicates that boy i named boy j in at least one of the two surveys. Three boys neither named nor were named by anyone, and are isolated nodes.

The network has the following properties:

(Edge) weight: the number of surveys in which i named j (1 or 2).
(Edge) fall_1957 and spring_1958: whether i named j in the survey of fall 1957 and spring 1958, respectively.
