Peer Relationships among Master of Social Work Students: Social Network Data

This dataset is from longitudinal social network analysis research that collected survey data from one class of graduate students (<i>N</i>=142) in a Master of Social Work (MSW) program in a large U.S. public university. The program used cohort-based learning in the first semester after which students were integrated into the student body as a whole. The dataset contains network data about friendships, academic discussion ties, and professional influence among classmates. Student attribute data include archival data from the school (e.g., student demographics, incoming GPA, GRE scores) and survey items (e.g., sense of belonging scale, multicultural perspective, perceived stress). The README.txt file provides an orientation to the dataset.
