The Friendship paradox, so-called, states
that because extraverted people tend to have more friends, they are
disproportionately represented in social networks. This tends to suggest that everyone's
network is more extraverted than the population as a whole. Daniel
C. Feiler and Adam M. Kleinbaum of Tuck Business School at Dartmouth College,
have researched the so-called Friendship
Paradox. They studied the emerging social networks of 284 new MBA students,
who were surveyed twice:
·
The first time at five weeks after orientation
·
The second time after 11 weeks
Researchers gave the student participants a
class roster and asked them to indicate the people with whom they socialize. After
the second survey, the student participants took the Big Five Inventory, designed
to evaluate personality traits, including extraversion. More tomorrow.
