Sex differences in social networks

Figure 1

Examples of the emergent internal structure of four whole social networks showing connections between individuals and an illustration of the numbers
of members cohering together at each threshold level.

Notes: Encircled numbers indicate the number in the network at that level. Girls are marked with a ‘G’, boys with a ‘B’. A solid line between members
indicates 50%+ co-occurrence, a dashed line indicates 37.5%+ co-ocurrence and a dotted line 25%+ co-ocurrence. Network 1 consists of members
connected only at the core level. Network 2 consists of members connected only at the group level. Network 3 consists of members connected only at
core and group levels. Network 4 consists of two cores that come together at the cluster level with 3 additional members and a final member at the
group level.
