DEFINITION (2): «A diverse array of research traditions has shaped the current state of social network theory. As Scott (1991) summarizes, there are three lines of research that contributed to the theory’s early development: the sociometric analysis tradition, which relies on graph theory methods from mathematics; the interpersonal relations tradition, which focuses on the formation of cliques among a group of individual; and an anthropology tradition that explores the structure of community relations in less developed societies. […]. A number of sociologists significantly advanced the social network approach by synthesizing previous theoretical traditions and extending them to understand both formal and informal social relations ( Liu et al.,2017,p.1).
