Methods: An egocentric network analysis was conducted on a sample of university employees (n = 57).

In such a so-called egocentric network, the followers tended to "leak" a lot of information about the central person or ego.

This last type of network is known in social network analysis as an egocentric network, as it's based on the connection around a single person.

Methods: 697 college students participated in the study by reporting on demographic information, alcohol use (AUDIT scores), and egocentric networks.
