“…The founding of the journal Sociometry by (perhaps) the first quantitative network researcher Jacob Moreno was an important start in developing and popularizing network methodology (see Moreno & Jennings, 1938). After the 1940s, as described in Freeman's (2004) history of network analysis and Kirke's (2007) review of networks and behavioral science, advances were made in a number of research areas, including sociology, anthropology, organizational science, and social psychology. Of course, mathematicians, and more recently statisticians, have a long tradition in graph theory and greatly influenced these developments.…”

“…Another dramatic surge occurred in the mid-1990s as first physicists, then biologists, and more recently, computer scientists saw the relevance of networks within their own disciplines. Much has changed since Kirke's (2007) review; here, in the 21st century, with a new understanding and appreciation for interconnectedness and globalization, along with the growth of the Internet and social media, network methods seem an increasingly natural way to research many aspects of modern society and the individuals within it.…”

“…As one might think, complete networks operate on many levels depending on all the relationships existing between all nodes. However, when working with personal networks, which include an individual's social ties and the ties between those individuals, we mainly use partial networks (Kirke 2007). In this sense, complete networks refer to all ties contained in the relationships of a population, while personal networks (also known as egocentric networks) refer to the ties that specific individuals have.…”

“…In short, there are many factors to be examined when it comes to social network analysis: the nature of the relationships between individuals, the social networks formed by those relationships, the patterns of relationships in those social networks, and the consequences for the individuals who are embedded in those social networks (Kirke 2007).…”

Imagine the work of a mental health professional who accepts a new position in a close-knit community with cultural lifestyles very different from mainstream society. The therapist was born and raised far from that community but had been successful elsewhere. Although the therapist uses the same approach and techniques that had previously worked well, most clients fail to return after the first or second session. The few clients who remain in therapy seem to understand the therapist's intentions and respond to treatment, but reluctantly, the therapist begins to face the fact that the approaches taken in therapy do not align with the experiences and worldviews of most of the new clients. The clients perceive situations in ways unanticipated by the therapist. The clients' explanations about emotional events seem peculiar to the therapist, who realizes that trying to interpret the clients' behavior, feelings, and thoughts often results in misattributions. Desiring to better understand local lifeways and thoughtways and to acquire the skills necessary to implement that understanding, the therapist searches for evidenced-based guidelines Recognizing that all behavior is learned and displayed in a cultural context makes possible accurate assessment, meaningful understanding, and appropriate intervention relative to that cultural context. Interpreting behavior out of context is likely to result in misattribution.-Paul Pedersen (2008, p. 15)
