A Review of the Small World Literature.

摘要

Recently, an experiment with the Small-World Technique (SWT), due to Stanley Milgram, in order to generate data on aspects of social structure has been carried out. It is felt that the SWT is a potentially powerful way to study social structure because it generates behavioral data. This review paper summarizes the available literature to date, and presents a program of related experiments which are currently developing. In general, it is hoped that others will begin to study social structure experimentally.
