TitleDegree and between centrality in one-mode networks of co-attendance at meetings of the Shanghai Rotary Club
Year Start1919
Year End1939
DateSunday 15 September 2019
Description

This sets of three graphs cross-analyzes degree and betweenness centrality in the three one-mode networks of co-attendance at the meetings of the Shanghai Rotary Club under President Petit's (1919-20), Fitch's (1930-1) and Harkson's (1938-9) terms. The original datasets and the resulting graphs are available in the "Tables" and "Trees" section, respectively. We used Cytoscape Network Analyzer application to make these graphs. 

In Petit’s network, we observe a direct correlation between degree and betweenness. Those who have the highest number of neighbors also serve as brokers, except for the medium group of non-members with a degree of 18 who show a very low betweenness centrality. On the opposite, two Rotarians (one director and one charter member) who are not particularly influential (degree 12 and 16 respectively) show an exceptionally high betweenness centrality (0.67 and O.4, respectively). In Fitch’s network, there is no obvious correlation between degree and betweenness. Except for the president himself, who shows the highest betweenness centrality of 0.8, acting as the main hub in the network, no other person serves as broker in this network. This confirms the high centralization of Rotary network around its president Fitch during his term. Under Harkson’s presidency, we again observe a strong (yet not perfect) correlation between degree and betweenness. Four persons act as intermediaries in this network, showing both a high degree centrality and high betweenness (including the vice-president Wolfe and the president Harkson). There are two minor exceptions to this general rule, however. The president ranked second in terms of intermediarity, but came only third in degree centrality. One ordinary Chinese member shows a moderate degree of 8 but a fairly high betweenness of 0.29 (which contrasts to the null betweenness of other persons in the same class).

For a detailed list of personal profiles in each category, please refer to the "tables" section.
