摘要：

We describe an interview-based data-collection procedure for social network analysis designed to aid gathering information about the people known by a respondent and reduce problems with data integrity and respondent burden. This procedure, a participant-aided network diagram (sociogram), is an extension of traditional name generators. Although such a diagram can be produced through computer-assisted programs for interviewing (CAPIs) and low technology (i.e., paper), we demonstrate both practical and methodological reasonsfor keeping high technology in the lab and low technology in the field. We provide some general heuristics that can reduce the time needed to complete a name generator We present findings from our Connected Lives field study to illustrate this procedure and compare to an alternative method for gathering network data.
