This is an extended version of the Kapferer data set available at the Pajek-UCINET list of datasets.
Four 39×39 matrices
KAPFTS1.dat
symmetric, binary
KAPFTS2.dat
symmetric, binary
KAPFTI1.dat
non-symmetric, binary
KAPFTI2.dat
non-symmetric, binary
Two combined squared matrices (can be used e.g. for the program BLOCKS; see Nowicki & Snijders, JASA 2001):
KAPF1.dat
combined coding: (2*kapfts1.dat) + kapfti1.dat
KAPF2.dat
combined coding: (2*kapfts2.dat) + kapfti2.dat
Two attributes files
kapfa_stat.dat
job status in categories according to Kapferer (1972); see below
kapfat.dat
first variable is a dummy for Lyashi (the most central individual); second variable indicates workers in high status jobs.
Bruce Kapferer (1972) observed interactions in a tailor shop in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) over a period of ten months. His focus was the changing patterns of alliance among workers during extended negotiations for higher wages.
The matrices represent two different types of interaction, recorded at two
different times (seven months apart) over a period of one month. KAPFTI1.dat
and
KAPFTI2.dat
record the "instrumental" (work- and assistance-related) interactions at
the two times; KAPFTS1.dat
and KAPFTS2.dat
the "sociational" (friendship, socioemotional)
interactions.
The data are particularly interesting since an abortive strike occurred after the first set of observations, and a successful strike took place after the second.
The employees' occupational categories were, in the order of their prestige according to a survey among employees (Kapferer, 1972 p. 55-59):
