Advantages of
Social Network Analysis
• Reduce the large quantity of data
into a more concise representation
• Makes it much easier to understand
what is going on in a group
Once the network is discovered,
we can find out:
• How do people interact with each other,
• Who are the most/least active members
of a group,
• Who is influential in a group,
• Who is susceptible to being influenced,
etc…

Editor's Notes

  1. Add Dalhousie Logo (Right corner)**Philip & Anatoliy’s positionsAdd emails as well
  2. As many of you are aware, in a very short period of time, Social Media has become an integral part of our daily lives. FB now has 1 Billion users. Twitter 500 Million. All of these users are generating an incredible amount of information. For example, Twitter now handles over 400 million tweets per day.All of this data is a rich resource for researchers
  3. One way to do this is to represent the data in the form of a network. This method is call Social Network Analysis. In SNA : nodes represent group members, and lines– called edges (or ties) connect group members by means of various types of relations.There are
  4. 2011 Canada Federal Election & Social Media
  5. Dr. Amy Dunbar, 33, of St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, Mo., posted on the social networking site in late January about a patient who continually showed up late to her scheduled appointments. Dunbar wrote:"So I have a patient who has chosen to either no-show or be late (sometimes hours) for all of her prenatal visits, ultrasounds and NSTs. She is now 3 hours late for her induction. May I show up late to her delivery?"When asked in the comments why she didn't cancel the procedure or transfer the woman to another doctor, Dunbar stated that the patient had previously endured a stillbirth. The post was publicly visible and not restricted to Dunbar's 470 friends.http://mashable.com/2013/02/11/doctor-patient-facebook/
  6. Social Media Monitoring & Improving Services Example:Disaster Preparedness Example: Boston Marathon Bombing“Social networking was also helpful on the day of the Boston Marathon bombing. Doctors near the finish line tweeted accounts of the attack to local emergency personnel six minutes before official announcements were made, giving staff critical time to prepare for the arrival of victims.”http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/01/doctors_on_social_media_share_embarrassing_photos_details_of_patients.2.htmlOne other lesson from the marathon bombing is the value of social media. Mass General got an early indication of trouble when an ER doctor saw a tweet from a friend at the finish line, just about a minute after the blast. That prompted the ER to hold off on surgeries that were about to begin, saving precious time and space for the victims that would flood in.http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/09/19/224049730/boston-hospitals-share-lessons-from-marathon-bombingMonitoring Twitter to increase disaster reactivityhttp://currents.plos.org/disasters/article/twitter-as-a-sentinel-in-emergency-situations-lessons-from-the-boston-marathon-explosions/Fort Hood shooting in Texashttp://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/05/texas.fort.hood.shootings/index.html“This was followed by a continuous string of updates that included information on Emergency Room access, Hospital operation status, re-tweets from the Red Cross, dialog with local reporters and other resources for visitors.  In addition to Twitter, Scott and White used a Blog and YouTube to keep everyone informed.http://ebennett.org/scott-white-fort-hood/#ixzz2rbqzX4SbCommunity Support Example: #bcsm#bcsm: Breast Cancer Social Media http://www.bcsmcommunity.org/Online community that discusses treatment and survivorship of breast cancer, asking discussion questions like:“Q1A:  What did you need to really KNOW about the medical system to navigate cancer?  #bcsm”“Q1: What are the three things you wish someone had told you when you were diagnosed?  Or one thing? Or five. As many as you have. #bcsm”They use the following disclaimer:Disclaimer:#BCSM is not a forum for medical advice. We strive to present evidence-based information about breast cancer. The experience of those participating on the chat are not endorsements. Questions directed to any physician or health care professional participating about your personal health is discouraged.Education Example:Gonorrhea social media campaignhttp://www.irishexaminer.com/archives/2013/1210/ireland/social-media-used-to-fight-apostrendingapos-gonorrhoea-252171.html
  7. What accounts for the relative longevity of this particular online community? Is it because of the founder’s leadership and her continuing involvement in this community? Or is there a core group of members who are also actively and persistently involved in this community? Second, we are interested in learning more about the composition of this community in general, as well as more specifically whether one’s professional role/title determines a person’s centrality within this community. This will allow us to understand generally how professional roles affect online conversational dynamics, and more specifically whether this online community is a welcoming place for a wide range of professionals or instead primarily dominated by professionals from a particular group.
  8. The method here is based on finding “Who retweeted/ replied/mentioned whom”The higher number of exchanged messages is usually interpreted as stronger ties between people.Since tweet is an instance of a social interaction between two or more people who know (or will know) each other, it is reasonable to assume that the number of messagesexchanged between two people is a good indicator of the existence and the strength of their social tie.
  9. the total number of messages contributed to the discussions during the studied periodthe number of times a person is mentioned or replied to; this is known in SNA as in-degree centrality, and signifies the prestige given to that individual by others in the networkthe number of times a person mentions or replies to others; this is known in SNA as out-degree centrality, and signifies the influence that person has as they make their views known to others (Hanneman & Riddle, 2005, see chapter 10)

  11. there is no apparent preferential attachment among people in the same professional group. In other words, the formation of connections among community members is not necessarily constrained by their professional status. This finding was supported by an Analysis of Variance density test using both the Structural Blockmodel technique (that examines “whether the different classes have significantly different interaction patterns”), and also with the Variable Homophily model (which “assumes that each group or class of actors has a different homophilic tendency”, Borgatti et al., 2002; where homophily is the tendency for connection based on social similarity). Based on this test (run with the 5,000 permutations), the professional roles only explain 0.2% of the total variance (p=0.005) when run with the Structural Blockmodel and only 0.1% (p=0.0002) with the Variable Homophily model. This result indicates connections are more prevalent across members with different professional backgrounds and occupations in this community, which in turn may suggest that this is a welcoming environment that stimulates knowledge exchange and learning across professional boundaries. **************************************Betweeness and Roles are not significantTOOLS>STATISTICS>ANOVA--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dependent variable: "hcsmca_dec8_2012-cent" Col 3Independent variable: "hcsmca_dec8_2012_attr" Col 3# of permutations: 5000Random seed: 13262 ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE Source DF SSQ F-Statistic Significance ============== ============== ============== ============== ============== Treatment 10 0.00 1.7467 0.1002 Error 338 0.00 Total 348 0.00R-Square/Eta-Square: 0.049----------------------------------------Running time: 00:00:01Output generated: 06 Jan 13 09:41:00Copyright (c) 2002-11 Analytic Technologies
