Nodelist and Edgelists - field network analysis (Esparza & Smith, 2023: Ecosphere)

Data used in the analyses for Esparza &amp; Smith, 2023 published in Ecosphere in the Eco-Education track.<br>The file entitled "node list" contains information on each of the nodes (people) in the field course social system across all timepoints (early, middle, late). This dataset is anonymized, with each node assigned a unique ID in the first column. Additionally, this dataset includes information on the role of each node (e.g., student, family, instructor) and their community type (e.g., personal, professional).<br>The files entitled "edge list" (early, middle, late) each include information on who sent ties to whom and how frequently the interaction(s) occurred within the respective time point.<br>These data were collected using name generators, which typically include two types of questions that probe the names of those with whom an individual interacted (<i>i.e., name generators</i>) and information on those an individual interacted with (<i>i.e., name interpreters</i>). In this study, students completed a name generator survey at weeks six, eleven, and fifteen of the 15-week semester (i.e., timepoint) in a field course with an embedded course-based field research project. See Esparza and Smith (In review) Materials and Methods for more information.<br>The files entitled "node list metadata" and "edge list metadata" include detailed information on the data included in the "node list" and "edge list" CSV. files. These files include the ranges/categories and a description of each variable included in the datasets.All data are anonymized so as to protect the identity and privacy of all research participants and their listed contacts. The research has been approved by the Cornell University Institutional Review Board under the exempt protocol #2001009364.
