This study was an interesting application of structural metrics. Did the authors detail in their conclusions what their data showed about how aggression may be predictive of friendship selection? You mentioned a self report, do you think that an individuals own level of aggression may affect their friendship selections? In other words maybe those who are more aggressive group with others if higher aggression, vice versa.

Looking at many of the keywords from the figure, many of the keywords seem to be common themes in social/behavioral research in general. What explicitly link these terms to creativity research?

Were these surveys given to producers? If so how did they account for self report bias....or am I looking at this the wrong way

Do you think that the use of structural methods independently is more reliable and/or appropriate than a mixed methods approach which could include both nodal and structural methods? I think that in the context of criminal justice the preliminary use of structural metrics would be beneficial if dealing with a a large network, but follow up with nodal metrics could also be invaluable.

What does the researcher plan to do next with these graphical displays? Do they believe that there any immediate applications?

I just wanted to say that using SNA in this manner is pretty cool!

This is a very interesting study! I worked in metal health for a while and have seen first hand how important coordination of care is, especially during times of transition from a service provider. Was the purpose of this to track which programs were efficiently providing transitional support in aims to validate the funding they were already receiving or to provide them with additional funding?

Do you think there is a way that we can distribute this weight more evenly? Should it be distributed evenly?

Do you think that the consumption of media influences peoples thinking or do people seek information sources that historically align with their ideals?

You make a really good point here. What about the people though who do have a voice but do not use it for prosocial purposes. In our new hyper-connected world do you think that we need to increase protective measure against those who would use these networks as platforms to spread hate, fear, and violence?

Thomas do you believe that this availability of communication counteracts the fears that Habermas had of the formal media? Although sponsors may be able to control to certain extent the news, radio, etc. they can not control the media that is produced and circulated by private citizens.

How do you think we can course correct these issues Patrick? Consumer protests? Litigation and changes in policy?

In the current state of the U.S do you believe that we have achieved that 'idealistic' version of a public sphere?

Which SNA methods did you use primarily when working with your data?

Which metric (in degree or out degree) do you think would be most important as it relates to your research question?

Are you operationalizing connectedness in the context of a students engagement to class material ( i.e. participation in class discussion, completing assignments, etc.) or are you interested in overall social behavior (all conversations, pro/anti social behavior, etc.)?

After previously working in the public school systems I can definitely agree that this is an issue. Though, admittedly, I was one of these kids....thankfully my high-school habits did not become a direct reflection of my adulthood.

Hey there, what was the primary premise of your study..that either positive or negative responses would get more attention or something along those lines?

Very interesting! Did you find any differences?

This may be a stupid question Patrick but were you more interested with the demographics of the actual actor or the character they play?
