J.L. Moreno and the Study of Social Network Analysis
J.L. Moreno, an Austrian psychiatrist, and his research partner Helen Hall Jennings, conducted a study at a girl's reform school in the 1930s. Through questionnaires and observations, they aimed to understand the social dynamics and relationships within the community. Their research revealed patterns of attraction, rejection, and influence among the girls.
