Dear FISers,<br>
Herewith the abstract of a very recent publication of my group about
the "Sociotype" --it was published yesterday in Plos One.<br>
Although the paper is oriented towards practical application of a
sociotype questionnaire in different domains of social/psychological
research <br>
and in public health socialization programs, we think it has an
ample thoretical basis & overall interest in the social
information science endeavor. <br>
It was conceived as a rough approach to informational envelop of the
person into the social niche... <br>
and we think it may also be useful to highlight personality-type,
gender, age-segments, and intercultural differences in
socialization. <br>
By the way, we have been waiting for almost two years, along a
really strenuous review process. (!!!) <br>
Best wishes--Pedro<br>

<p><b>The 'sociotype' construct: Gauging the</b><b><br>
</b><b>structure and dynamics of human sociality</b><br>

<br>
Exploring the pertinence of a "sociotype" construct, established
along the conceptual chain<br>
genotype-phenotype-sociotype, is the essential purpose of the
present paper. Further, by<br>
following the sociotype's conceptual guidelines, a new
psychometric indicator has been<br>
developed in order to gauge the level of social interaction around
each individualÐthe sociotype<br>
questionnaire (SOCQ). A first version of this questionnaire has
been elaborated by<br>
gathering data about the different classes of social bonds
(family, friends, acquaintances,<br>
and work/study colleagues) in general population and about the
dynamic update of these<br>
bonds via face-to-face conversation and other modes of
interaction. A specific fieldwork was<br>
undertaken, involving 1,075 participants, all of them Spanish
adults (with diverse social and<br>
regional backgrounds). The data obtained were analyzed by means of
the correlational<br>
method with an analytical cross-sectional design: the number of
factors and the consistency<br>
and reliability of the resulting scales were evaluated and
correlated. The new sociotype indicator<br>
resulting from that fieldwork, in spite of its limitations, seems
to be valid and reliable,<br>
as well as closely associated with widely used metrics of
loneliness and psychological distress.<br>
It is interesting that the construct noticeably varies throughout
the life course and circumstances<br>
of individuals, based on their gender and age, and adjusting to
the different<br>
situations of social networking. This is the first study, to the
best of our knowledge, which<br>
has tried to reach both a theoretical and an operational
formulation of the sociotype construct,<br>
by establishing an ad hoc psychometric questionnaire. We think
that the information<br>
provided by this operational definition opens a new direction of
work that could be useful to<br>
guide the development and evaluation of programs aimed at
improving and strengthening<br>
social networking in people at risk, especially for the elderly.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
