The origins of asymmetric ties in friendship networks: From status differential to self-perceived centrality. network science 3(2): 269-292: abstract, actors with high self-perceived centrality will more likely send out ties to others than their counterparts --- more asymmetric ties, exponential random graph models (ergms) Introduction: students in elementary schools : asymmetric ties > symmetric ties, asymmetric ties = aspirational / strategic to the extent that they are directed from lower to higher status subjects. Individual status indicators: height, weight, personality, academic performance. Social positional status indicators: family background: diff in personal qualities that may, benefits that accrue to social allow individuals to successfully compete for social rewards positions regardless of individual occupants. Self-perceived centrality: report # friendship nominations they expect to receive. Friendship networks: name up to 10 of closest friends in school: asymmetric if one lists another as a friend but not the reverse. Social status indicators: individual status, social positional status: analytic strategies.
