Showing papers on "Katz centrality published in 1979"

TL;DR: In this paper, three competing hypotheses about structural centrality are explored by means of a replication of the early MIT experiments on communication structure and group problem-solving, and it is shown that although two of the three kinds of measures of centrality have a demonstrable effect on individual responses and group processes, the classic measure of the centrality based on distance is unrelated to any experimental variable, the positive results provided by distance-based centrality in earlier experiments is an artifact of the particular structures chosen for experimentation.
