Document Summary
Ethnographic/experimental studies to record true exchange b/w actors. Analysis of contested reports in exchange networks based on. Actors" credibility. social networks 40: 25-33: abstract. "to understand exchange b/w actors and properties of the associated exchange networks --> important to address such disagreement: actor less credible w/ more contested ties he has, two methods. Deterministic: takes the report of the more credible actor as a reflection of the true exchange status b/w two actors. Risk = remove some of the actual exchanges in the process --> false negative reports: another way -- symmetrize on the maximum. Using positive reports for "true" exchange ties while ignoring negative reports. Risk = false positive reports: another-- use multiple peer reports to correct contested reports. Css - cognitive social structure: last approach. Competence score calculated for each actor based on agreement b/w answers of a series of questions: this paper -- use credibility scores.
