DATA DESCRIPTION
Data were collected at the University of South Carolina Laboratory for Sociological Research, 1989-1998 using ExNet, a computer program written by J. Skvoretz that implements experiments on networks of exchange relations using a local area network of workstations, managing subject-to-subject interaction and experimenter monitoring of interaction. Data collection was supported by the following grants:

  • National Science Foundation, Collaborative Research On: Fundamental Processes of Network Exchange. September 1996 - November 1997, SES 9515434.
  • National Science Foundation, Action in Social Structures: New Research on Social Exchange Networks. June 1993 - July 1994, SES 9223799.
  • National Science Foundation, Inclusion as a Basis for Power in Exchange Networks. June 1991 - July 1993, SES 9109528.
  • National Science Foundation, Acquisition of Instrumentation for an Advanced Experimental Network. June 1991 - July 1993, DBI 9016125.
  • National Science Foundation, Power, Exclusion and Network Exchange Dynamics September 1990 - October 1991, SES 9010888.
