Feeling uneasy about e-voting? No wonder. @davidduenascid.bsky.social argues that technology is important, but it's the glue of trust towards institutions that makes people more likely to vote in elections using the internet. Check it out at #KozminskiReview: www.kozminski.edu.pl/en/review/wh...

What drives internet voting: institutional or technological trust? | Kozminski University

Citizens participate in internet voting not because they trust the technology, Prof. David Dueñas-Cid argues.

A new research post on Kozminski Review! @mbojan.bsky.social shows how his take on network analysis, combining personal network surveys and statistical network modeling uncovers social groups that are out of the picture in discussion networks. No hear, no see? www.kozminski.edu.pl/en/review/ti...

Dr Michał Bojanowski shows how social cohesion surveys overlook the actual structure of social relationships: who talks to whom, and who is left out.

New paper in Sociological Methodology with @mbojan.sciences.social.ap.brid.gy, @alexciordia.bsky.social, & @nuriatargarona.bsky.social about the measurement properties of aggregated relational data (responses to "how many people do you know who..?") and NSUM estimates: doi.org/10.1177/0081...

This figure shows the distribution of the estimated acquaintanceship network size for the two measurements, and compares the individual estimates for all participants between the measurements. It shows that the estimates are pretty stable for more common sizes, but those with high network sizes ("hubs") fluctuate heavily

This figure shows the colorful response card we used for the data collection as a visual aid for respondents. It says "acquaintances are all the people that you know and who know you by SIGHT and by NAME. For instance, you can think of..." followed by 16 boxes for "partner", "family", "friends", "neighbors"; "at work"; "in clubs or associations", "religious community", "education", "people to whom you provide a service"; "social media"; and "other acquaintances". In each box, there is some more help, like "at work" is followed by coworker, boss, employee, client etc. Each box has 1 or 2 icons for further visual aid.
