Psychopathology and sociometric choice.

From boys to men: predicting adult adaptation from middle childhood sociometric status.

This report examines the predictive validity of sociometric status at age 9-10 to young adult (age 23-24) antisocial behavior, work and school engagement, and arrests using Oregon Youth Study males (N = 206). A variety of analytic strategies included (a) multivariate analyses to examine the variation in adult adaptation as a function of sociometric classification at age 9-10, (b) regression ana...

Triadic configurations in limited choice sociometric networks: Empirical and theoretical results

Annual Doctoral Workshop on Mathematical and Engineering Methods in Computer Science Oasics – Openaccess Series in Informatics a Privacy-aware Protocol for Sociometric Questionnaires

In the paper we design a protocol for sociometric questionnaires, which serves the privacy of responders. We propose a representation of a sociogram by a weighted digraph and interpret individual and collective phenomena of sociometry in terms of graph theory. We discuss security requirements for a privacy-aware protocol for sociometric questionnaires. In the scheme we use additively homomorphi...

Sociometric choice: a study in pupillary response.

Pupillary dilatation has recently been reported as a physiological measure of degree of attention paid to environmental stimuli (Hess & Polt, 1960, 1964). Hess and Polt's research has operationally defined one variable and has provided data that allows researchers to speculate about several others. This variable is interest-disinterest. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine th...

Psychopathology and short-term emotion: the balance of affects.

In this study, the relationship between short-term emotion expressions and dimensional ratings of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology was examined. Short-term emotions, defined as facial or vocal displays of emotion generally lasting less than 10 seconds and elicited by a specific and proximal event, were observed during recess in 71 children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, w...
