Social Network Dataset - field network analysis (Esparza & Smith, Ecosphere)

Data used in the analyses for Esparza &amp; Smith (In review) submitted to Ecosphere in the Eco-Education track. The file entitled "social network dataset" contains information on which individuals in the field course social system sent and received ties (i.e., who interacted with whom). 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 (<em>i.e., name generators</em>) and information on those an individual interacted with (<em>i.e., name interpreters</em>). 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 file entitled "social network metadata" includes detailed information on the data included in the "social network dataset" csv. file. This includes the ranges/categories and a description of each variable included in the dataset. <br> 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.
