Multiplex network of three one-mode signed, weighted networks and a three-wave longitudinal network of monks (Sampson 1969)

Description

The data were collected for an ethnographic study of community structure in a New England monastery. Various sociometric data was collected of the novices attending the minor seminary of 'Cloisterville' preparing to join the monastic order.

All networks are weighted. Novices' first choices are weighted 3, the second 2, and third choices 1. Some subjects offered tied ranks for their top four choices.

In addition to node names, a 'groups' variable records the four groups that Sampson observed during his time there:

Information about senior monks was not included. While type = "like" is observed over three waves, the rest of the data was recorded retrospectively from the end of the study, after the network fragmented. The waves in which the novitiates were expelled (1), voluntarily departed (2 and 3), or remained (4) are given in the nodal attribute "left".
