Number of social network articles listed in Sociological Abstracts by year .............................................................................167 x Preface This book was produced with a great deal of help from a lot of people. Many of the early practitioners of the social net- work approach allowed themselves to be interviewed—either face-to-face, or by telephone, email or regular old-fashioned let- ter mail. These include Peter Abell, John Barnes, Russ Bernard, Peter Blau, Liz Bott, John Boyd, Kathleen Carley, Doc Cartwright, Jim Davis, Alain Degenne, Pat Doreian, Tom Fararo, Claude Fla- ment, Michel Forsé, Ove Frank, Sue Freeman, Bill Garrison, Tor- sten Hägerstrand, Maureen Hallinan, Muriel Hammer, Frank Harary, Paul Holland, Charles Kadushin, Larry Kincaid, Al Klovdahl, Ed Laumann, Hal Leavitt, Sam Leinhardt, Joel Levine, Nan Lin, Larissa Lomnitz, Duncan Luce, Bob Merton, Clyde Mitchell, Rob Mokken, Woody Pitts, Charles Proctor, Anatol Rapoport, Ev Rogers, Arnold Simel, Tom Snijders, Frans Stok- man, Morry Sunshine, Chuck Tilley, Barry Wellman, Doug White, Harrison White, Al Wolfe and Rolf Ziegler. A good many of these people went to great pains to produce detailed accounts of who influenced them to think in the structural perspective of social network analysis. These individuals provided most of the in- formation that has gone into the present historical account. In addition, I received useful feedback from a number of people after I presented a preliminary version of this historical review at the International Sunbelt Social Network Conference in Vancouver, BC, on April 12, 2000. The detailed written sug- gestions provided by Davor Jedlicka, Peter Marsden, Frans Stok- xi man and Barry Wellman were particularly helpful. And a good many colleagues have read all or parts of this manuscript and provided useful feedback. These include John Barnes, Mike Brower, Katie Faust, Sue Freeman, Irving Louis Horowitz, Do- minic Jesse, Charles Kadushin, Bob Merton, Cal Morrill, Woody Pitts, Ev Rogers, M. de Lourdes Sosa, Cindy Webster, Doug White, Robin Williams and, most of all, Morry Sunshine, who has worked harder than anyone could reasonably expect. Beyond this relatively recent input, I learned a great deal from earlier discussions I had with others who were involved in the development of social network analysis but who are no longer available to be interviewed. Among these, my conversations with Gregory Bateson, Jim Coleman, St. Clair Drake, Fred Kochen, Paul Lazarsfeld, Jiri Nehnevajsa, Ithiel de Sola Pool, Tom Sch- weizer and Bill Whyte are particularly memorable. Each had an impact on my thinking about the field. I am also grateful to Rosemary

    MEASUREMENT, EMPIRICAL MEANINGFULNESS AND THREE-VALUED LOGIC BY PATRICK SUPPES TECBNICAL REPORr NO. 20 PREPARED UNDER CONTRACT Nonr 225(17) (NR 171-034) FOR OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH Reproduction in Whole or in Part is Permitted for any Purpose of the United States Government APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS LABORATORY STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD, CALIFORNIA December 29, 1958 Measurement, Empirical Meaningfulness and Three-Valued Logic21 By Patrick Suppes 1. Introduction. The predominant current opinion appears to be that it is scarcely possible to set up criteria of empirical meaningfulness for individual statements. What is reQuired, it is said, is an analysis of theories taken as a whole. There is even some skepticism regarding this, and it has been romantically suggested that the entire fabric of experience and language must be considered and taken into account in any construction of general categories of meaning or analyticity. ,What I have to say makes no contribution to the attempt to find a general criterion of meaning applicable to arbitrary statements. Rather I am concerned to exemplify a general method which will yield specific positive criteria for specific branches of science. A brief analysis of two simple examples will indicate the sort of thing I have in mind. Consider the statement: The mass of the sun is greater than If a physicist were asked if (1) is true or false, he would most likely reply that it depends on what unit of mass is implicitly understood in uttering (1). On the other hand, if we asked him about the truth of the sentence: 21 This research was supported in part by the Group Psychology Branch of the Office of Naval Research.

  • History of Psychology
    The Psych 101 Series James C. Kaufman, PhD, Series Editor Department of Educational Psychology University of Connecticut David C. Devonis, PhD, received his doctorate in the history of psychology from the University of New Hampshire’s erstwhile pro- gram in that subject in 1989 with a thesis on the history of conscious pleasure in modern American psychology. Since then he has taught vir- tually every course in the psychology curriculum in his academic odys- sey from the University of Redlands in Redlands, California, and the now-closed Teikyo Marycrest University (formerly Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa) to—for the past 17 years—Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, alma mater of Bruce Jenner and, more famously for the history of psychology, of Noble H. Kelly (1901–1997), eminent con- tributor to psychology’s infrastructure through his many years of ser- vice to the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology. Dr. Devonis has been a member of Cheiron: The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences since 1990, a con- tributor to many of its activities, and its treasurer for the past 10 years. Currently he is on the editorial board of the American Psychological Association journal History of Psychology and is, with Wade Pickren, coeditor and compiler of the online bibliography History of Psychology in the Oxford Bibliographies Online series.
