Abstract:

Composition and structure of networks in Polish school classes: a
multilevel perspective

We study the structure of networks among Polish 6-year-olds in a
sample of 176 school classes. We look into explaining the structure of
networks within classes using, among other things, mechanisms of
homophily (e.g. according to gender) and hierarchy (e.g. with respect
to social status of parents) as well as selected structural effects of
ERGM models. Results show substantial variability between classes in
terms of network structure.  To explain these differences between
school classes, a multilevel model is used to asses the importance of
compositional and contextual (e.g. school neighborhood) factors.
