Sociogram

It is a graph drawing that plots the structure of interpersonal relations in a group situation.

[1] Sociograms were developed by Jacob L. Moreno to analyze choices or preferences within a group.

A sociogram can be drawn on the basis of many different criteria: Social relations, channels of influence, lines of communication etc.

Under the social discipline model, sociograms are sometimes used to reduce misbehavior in a classroom environment.

[4] A sociogram is constructed after students answer a series of questions probing for affiliations with other classmates.
