Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We give a nontechnical introduction into recently developed methods for analyzing the coevolution of social networks and behavior(s) of the network actors. This coevolution is crucial for a variety of research topics that currently receive a lot of attention, such as the role of peer groups in adolescent development. A family of dynamic actor-driven models for the coevolution process is sketched, and it is shown how to use the SIENA software for estimating these models. We illustrate the method by analyzing the coevolution of friendship networks, taste in music, and alcohol consumption of teenagers.
