Replication Data for: The formation processes of political discussion networks

Our data comprises thirty personal networks that belong to people affiliated to a local branch of a newly created and rising star Romanian parliamentary political party. Data collection process was performed on February, 2019, when the political organization was only three-month old. The study participants were randomly selected from a roster of 645 members (the total tally of people affiliated to a local branch situated in a large Romanian urban area). We used a stratified sampling, with a stratum based on age: 18 – 25 years-old (group A - \"young\"), 26 – 55 years-old (group B - \"adult\"), and more than 56 years old (group C - \"senior\").
