Each member of such a network may hold relevant beliefs and may connect each belief to other beliefs. A connection between two beliefs is a reason. Each member\u2019s beliefs and reasons form a more-or-less connected network. As members of a group interact, they share some of their respective beliefs and reasons with peers and form a belief-network that represents their common view. However, either the social network or the belief network can be disconnected if the group is divided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study mapped both the social network and the belief-network of a Rotary Club in the US Midwest. The Club\u2019s leadership found the results useful for diagnostic and planning purposes. This study also piloted a methodology that may be useful for social scientists who analyze organizations and associations of various kinds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a paper that I presented at the Midwest Political Science Association on April 6, 2024.
