Sociogram

A sociogram is a graphical representation of relationships within a group. It maps out who interacts with whom through choices, influences, and other connections. Sociograms were developed by Jacob Moreno to analyze group dynamics and identify social structures like cliques, stars, isolates, and mutual or one-way choices. The patterns in a sociogram provide insight into a group's cohesion, alliances, and subgroups.

Sociograms were developed by Jacob L. Moreno to analyze choices or preferences within a group.[2][3] They can diagram the structure and patterns of group interactions. A sociogram can be drawn on the basis of many different criteria: Social relations, channels of influence, lines of communication etc.

The patterns created by the lines indicate the patterns of relationships and subgroupings within the group, as well as the overall cohesion of the group. So in the illustration to the right, there is an alliance between B & C, an A-D-E subgroup, conflicts between A &B and C & D, and B serves as a bridge between the dyad and triad groups. The overall cohesion of the group is moderate in strength

Those points on a sociogram who have many choices are called Stars. Those with few or no choices are called isolates. Individuals who choose each other are known to have made a Mutual Choice. One-Way Choice refers to individuals who choose someone but the choice is not reciprocated. Cliques are groups of three or more people within a larger group who all choose each other (Mutual Choice). Sociograms are the charts or tools used to find the Sociometry of a social space.

A broken line (or, in the diagram above, a lightly colored line) represents a person "not liking" or being in conflict with

Cliques are groups that chose each other and have very few choices outside of the group. Stars are the pupils that are chosen the most. Cleavage is when groups are not linked, at all, with other groups. Mutual choices is when individuals choose each other. Isolates are individuals which are not selected.
