I am starting to learn to use ucinet and to do social network analysis. I usually collect social cognition data from children (e.g., like/dislike, aggression, etc.). I give rosters to children of all the classmates in their class and they circle classmates that match the description. I collect data from several classrooms and children only provide ratings of children in their classroom; therefore it seems like I need to do my analysis across several networks. My plan is to see if I can predict the pattern of ratings based on demographic variables (gender) and some personal ratings the children made.
My question is this: are there any tutorials or resources that you could point me to - to help me do this kind of analysis? Particularly I am looking for resources that explain how I handle the classrooms in the analysis.?
