Sociometry
Sociometry is a process for identifying group relationships.
Sociometry is a procedure that allows the researcher to make assessments about the affinity or disdain members of some groups have towards one another. It allows you to consider friendship patterns, social networks, relationships, and social distance in general. Sociometry can be described as a means of assessing group relational structures, such as hierarchies, friendship networks, and cliques. Sociometry can also indicate a group's social dynamics and influence structure.
