| Title | Structural analysis of social networks with respect to different levels of aggregation |

| Abstract | The article aims at the integration of the two research traditions of multi-level and of network analysis. To this effect, a strategy is presented which can be traced back to P.F. Lazarsfeld and H. Menzel's typology of units and of their properties. After having extended their classification to take account of more network concepts than was needed at their time, the Lazarsfeld-Menzel-Classification is used as a conceptual instrument to translate a research question, which first looks like a specialty of network analysis, into a standard problem of treating relationships between variables of different units at different levels of aggregation. Though the data set to be analyzed is taken from sociometric research and the selected theoretical framework from "balance" and "transitivity" theory of social psychology, it should be clear that the proposed research strategy is not restricted to the empirical or theoretical specificities of the example chosen for its illustration. |
