bonding bridging and linking social capital and psychological empowerment among squatter settlements in tehran iran
2012Co-Authors: Hamidreza Babaei, Nobaya Ahmad, Sarjit S. GillAbstract:This study aims to determine the effect of bonding, bridging and linking social capital in the psychological empowerment among squatter settlements in Tehran, Iran. The sample comprised 328 poor people in two communities from Iran, which were randomly selected for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used as the Data Collection Method and the stratified random sampling technique was employed. The results revealed the significant effect of bonding, bridging and linking social capital on psychological empowerment among squatter settlements. Bonding social capital had the largest beta coefficient than other dimensions, such as bridging and linking social capital in predicting psychological empowerment among squatter settlements.

Bonding, bridging and linking social capital and empowerment among squatter settlements in Tehran, Iran
2012Co-Authors: Hamidreza Babaei, Nobaya Ahmad, Sarjit S. GillAbstract:This study aims to determine the effect of bonding, bridging and linking social capital on the empowerment among squatter settlements in Tehran, Iran. The sample comprised 328 poor people in two communities from Iran, which were randomly selected for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used as the Data Collection Method. The perceived bonding, bridging and linking social capital was measured by the trust and relationship with family and close friends and with colleagues, neighborhood people and society people as well as with the ethnic group and governmental and non-governmental organizations. In addition, the perceived empowerment was measured by summing the scores of psychological and financial assets. The results revealed the significant effect of bonding, bridging and linking social capital on empowerment among squatter settlements. Bonding social capital had the largest beta coefficient compared to other dimensions, such as bridging and linking social capital.

Measuring social networks in primates: wearable sensors versus direct observations
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020Co-Authors: Valeria Gelardi, Jeanne Godard, Dany Paleressompoulle, Nicolas Claidière, Alain BarratAbstract:Technology, Japan Network analysis represents a valuable and flexible framework to understand the structure of individual interactions at the population level in animal societies. The versatility of network representations is moreover suited to different types of Datasets describing these interactions. However, depending on the Data Collection Method, different pictures of the social bonds between individuals could a priori emerge. Understanding how the Data Collection Method influences the description of the social structure of a group is thus essential to assess the reliability of social studies based on different types of Data. This is however rarely feasible, especially for animal groups, where Data Collection is often challenging. Here, we address this issue by comparing Datasets of interactions between primates collected through two different Methods: behavioral observations and wearable proximity sensors. We show that, although many directly observed interactions are not detected by the sensors, the global pictures obtained when aggregating the Data to build interaction networks turn out to be remarkably similar. Sensors Data yield moreover a reliable social network already over short timescales and can be used for long term campaigns, showing their important potential for detailed studies of the evolution of animal social groups.

The effects of Data Collection and observation Methods on uncertainty of social networks in wild primates
American Journal of Primatology, 2020Co-Authors: Charlotte Canteloup, Ivan Puga‐gonzalez, Cédric Sueur, Erica WaalAbstract:In social species, network centralities of group members shape social transmission and other social phenomena. Different factors have been found to influence the measurement of social networks, such as Data Collection and observation Methods. In this study, we collected Data on adults and juveniles and examined the effect of Data Collection Method (ad libitum sampling vs. focal animal sampling) and observation Method (interaction—grooming; play—vs. association—arm‐length; 2 m; 5 m proximities—) on social networks in wild vervet monkeys. First, we showed using a bootstrapping Method, that uncertainty of ad libitum grooming and play matrices were lesser than uncertainty of focal matrices. Nevertheless, grooming and play networks constructed from ad libitum and focal animal sampling were very similar and highly correlated. We improved the certainty of both grooming and play networks by pooling focal and ad libitum matrices. Second, we reported a high correlation between the proximity arm‐length network and the focal grooming one making an arm‐length proximity network a reasonable proxy for a grooming one in vervet monkeys. However, we did not find such a correlation between proximity networks and the play one. Studying the effects of Methodological issues as Data Collection and observation Methods can help improve understanding of what shapes social networks and which Data Collection Method to choose to study sociality.
