Measuring Tie Strength
Little attention has been given to the measurement of the concept of tie strength. Using survey data on friendship ties, we apply multiple indicator techniques to construct and validate measures of tie strength. We conclude that: (1) there may be two distinct aspects of tie strength, having to do with the time spent in a relationship and the depth of the relationship; (2) a measure of "closenes...
متن کاملMeasuring tie strength in multidimensional networks
Online social networks have allowed us to build massive networks of weak ties: acquaintances and nonintimate ties we use all the time to spread information and thoughts.

Unfortunately, social media do not incorporate tie strength in the creation and management of relat...

The aim of this study was to fill the gap and provide a tool that is able to provide a quantitative and continuous measure of tie strength in social networks.

Aral and Van Alstyne (2011) added that to access complex information, actors need strong ties (“high bandwidth”) instead. These insights I integrate and generalize by pointing at act...
متن کاملTie Strength Persistence and Transformation
A tie is a link between two persons in a social network. Here, we analyze tie strength in temporal co-authorship social networks by measuring ties persistence and transformation over time. Surprisingly, most ties tend to perish over time. Also, weak and random ties are more present in real co-authorship networks than bridges and strong ones.
