# Six complex one-mode support data in Harry Potter books (Bossaert and Meidert 2013) Goele Bossaert and Nadine Meidert coded peer support ties among 64 characters in the Harry Potter books. Each author coded four of seven books using NVivo, with the seventh book coded by both and serving to assess inter-rater reliability. The first six books concentrated on adolescent interactions, were studied in their paper, and are made available here. The peer support ties mean voluntary emotional, instrumental, or informational support, or praise from one living, adolescent character to another within the book's pages. In addition, nodal attributes name, schoolyear (which doubles as their age), gender, and their house assigned by the sorting hat are included. data ## Format ``` #> -- # Harry Potter support network ---------------------------------------------- #> # A longitudinal, labelled, complex, directed network of 64 students and 544 #> support arcs over 6 waves #> #> -- Nodes #> # A tibble: 64 x 5 #> name schoolyear gender house active #> #> 1 Adrian Pucey 1989 male Slytherin TRUE #> 2 Alicia Spinnet 1989 female Gryffindor TRUE #> 3 Angelina Johnson 1989 female Gryffindor TRUE #> 4 Anthony Goldstein 1991 male Ravenclaw TRUE #> # i 60 more rows #> #> -- Changes #> # A tibble: 81 x 4 #> time node var value #> #> 1 2 9 active TRUE #> 2 2 21 active TRUE #> 3 2 35 active TRUE #> 4 2 39 active FALSE #> # i 77 more rows #> #> -- Ties #> # A tibble: 544 x 3 #> from to wave #> #> 1 11 11 1 #> 2 11 25 1 #> 3 11 26 1 #> 4 11 44 1 #> # i 540 more rows #> ``` ```r data(fict_potter) ``` ## References Bossaert, Goele and Nadine Meidert (2013).
