Sixth Degree. Dr. Stanley Milgram 1933 – 1984, an American social psycho-logist at Yale University, Harvard University and the City University of New York conducted in 1967 the small-world experiment that is the basis of the six degrees of separation concept. Milgram sent several packages to random people in the United States, asking them to forward the package, by hand, to someone specific or someone who is more likely to know the target. The average path length for the received packages was around 5.5 or six, resulting in widespread acceptance for the term six degrees of separation. Social Networks

150 - Dunbars Number Dunbar's number, 150, describes the theoretical maximum of a genuine social network. The number is based on the limits of human abilities to identify members, relationships and expres-sions – history, sociology, evolutionary psychology and anthro-pology trace the number back to the the sense of community in various hunter-gatherer societies. Social Networks

150 - Dunbars Number Approximate numbers include the estimated size of a Neolithic farming village (150), the splitting point of Hutterite settlements (150), the upper bound on the number of academics in a discipline's sub-specialization (200), the basic unit size of professional armies in Roman antiquity and in modern times since the 16th century – a company – or Maniple, a tactical unit of the Roman legion, usually includes 75-200 soldiers.

Social Network Analysis The graph provides a network map of the purchase patterns of political books based on data provided by major web book retailers after the 2006 mid-term elections. Starting with political books included in the New York Times Bestseller List a network of related books is created based on purchase patterns ("Customers who bought this item also bought...“), and visualized according to relationships, network neighborhood, and populace. The resulting graph underlines a divided readership, visualized by two distinct clusters with strong internal affiliations. Extreme positions are located at both sides, the middle ground is only represented by three individual books, eventually a reflection of the electoral debates. Purchase Patterns of Political Books.

Instead, teens are linked to many other teens through former sexual connections. The findings can influence social policy and help stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among high school students because number of partners a teen has is less important than how he is connected to others in a kind of romantic chain.
