| SunBelt XXX - June 29 to July 04, 2010 - Riva del Garda Fierecongressi | | Abstract : Social Distance, Social Networks and Adolescent Academic Performance |
| Blau(1977,1989) highlighted the importance of the properties of social space on shaping social interactions which then might modify individuals’ personal behaviors and collective behaviors. Adapting data from Taiwan Youth Project (TYP), with individual and complete network data from a variety of school classes, we intend to examine micro and macro issue of Blau’s theory in school context. The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanism of different dimensions of social distances and social networks on students’ performance at different level, how micro and macro social distance influence students’ friends making in school classes and then further alters students’ behaviors. Network autocorrelation model will be incorporated with multilevel analysis to investigate how students’ individual and collective behaviors are shaped in the social space of classroom. Further discussions will be provided to discuss about the theoretical implications. |
