*Organised Session Description:*
This organized session focuses on the co-existence of positive and negative
ties in networks and the need to study them together in order to better
understand network content and dynamics. We encourage a wide range of
submissions. Example works include (but are not limited to): Methods and
measures pertaining to negative ties and signed graphs; understanding the
inner workings of political and legal bodies such as legislatures or
courts; understanding how threats within a network create needs for allies,
and the implications for nodal power; examining where bullying emerges in
schools or organizations; how perception of negative ties poses unique
challenges in organizational research; examining how relational ambivalence
affects relational trajectories; and how subgroup fault lines affect intra-
and inter-group conflict.
Please don't forget to choose the 'Negative Ties and Signed Graphs'
organised session when submitting your abstract.
