Example Question Jill is a member of a six-person
group. Jill is female. We measure how influential Jill is in
the group. The research question: How does a
person’s gender and the genders of the other group members affect how influential a person is seen?
Denote gender as X and presume X is a dichotomy.

Multilevel Data The answer to the research question
requires a multilevel data set. Two levels
– The lower level or level 1: Person– The upper level or level 2: Group
To have unbiased estimates of standard errors, we must allow for nonindependence due to groups.
![Page 4: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Variables and NotationYij = the outcome of person i in
group j (How influential is Jill seen?)
Xij = gender of person i in group j (Jill is -1 and a male would be +1)
Mj = the average X scores for group j (if greater than zero, there would be more males in the group)

Traditional Multilevel Modeling of Groups
Variables X (level 1) and Mj (level 2) to predict Y.
Or X – Mj (X “group mean centered”) and Mj to predict Y.

Problems with the Traditional MLM Formulation
Part-whole problem.Can be difficult to interpret.Linkage to theory unclear.What about other effects of X,
especially diversity in the Xs (or the similarity of the Xs)?

Actor-Partner Interdependence Model
The “group effect,” called “Others,” is the effect due to OTHER members of the group, denoted as Mj’.
The individual’s score is removed from the group mean.
Others is a level 1 variable but most of its variance is between groups.

Main Effects for the ExampleActor: Are men (or women) more likely to be seen as influential?
Others: If most of the partners are men (or women), is the person seen as influential?
![Page 11: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
InteractionsActor x Others: If the person is similar to others, is the person seen as influential?
Other x Other: If the other members of the group are similar to each other, is the person seen as influential?
![Page 12: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Re-conceptualization of Diversity
Instead of thinking about diversity as a property of the group (i.e., a variance), we can view diversity as the set of relationships.
![Page 13: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Variance as the Measure of Diversity
s2 = i(Xi – M)2/(n – 1)
s2 = ij(Xi – Xj)2/[n(n - 1)] i > j
s2 = 1 - ij(XiXj)/[n(n - 1)/2] i > j
Thus, diversity can be viewed as a summary of the similarity of all the possible relationships in the group.
![Page 14: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Group Diversity as the Sum of All Possible Relationships
![Page 15: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Group Diversity = Actor Similarity + Others Similarity
![Page 16: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Two Types of Similarity• Actor Similarity
• How well the person fits into the group.• “Relational Demography” of Elfenbein
and O’Reilly• Others Similarity
• Combined with actor similarity becomes diversity
• If Actor and Others Similarity have the same coefficients, there is a pure diversity effect.
![Page 17: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example Data Set• PI: Harmon Hosch• Gathered in El Paso, Texas• 134 6-person juries from the jury
pool– The sample was 54.7% Female, 58.7%
Hispanic, 31.5% White, 3.9% Black, and 2.2% Asian American or Native American.
• Mock jury case: theft• We have a measure of influence (1
to 5; to be discussed later).

A person is seen as more persuasive if others in the group are similar.

Conclusions• Men are seen as more influential
than women.• If others are similar, a person is
seen as influential.
![Page 22: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What was the measure of “Influential”?
• Based on a relational measure.• Each person asked (round-robin
design): “How persuasive is each other person in the group.”
• We need to extend the model, both fixed and random, to a dyadic outcome.
![Page 23: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Group: How much influence in the group?
Individual
– Actor: How much influence Jill sees others?
– Partner: How influential is Jill seen by others (may be correlated with Actor)?
Dyad: If Jill sees Sally as influential, does Sally see Jill as influential?

Main EffectsActor: Are men (or women) more likely to see others as influential?
Partner: Are men (or women) more likely to be seen by others as influential?
Others: If the most of the partners are men (or women), is the person seen as influential?

Interactions
Instead of thinking about diversity (or homogeneity) as a property of the group (i.e., a variance), we can view diversity as the set of relationships.

Four Types of Similarity
Actor
Partner
Others

Four Types of Similarity
Group similarity equals the sum of these components.
Dyadic SimilarityActor Similarity
Partner Similarity
Others Similarity

If the partner is different from others (partner similarity) and you are similar to others (actor similarity), you see the partner as influential.

Extensions Some people may have a bigger partner
effect (e.g., leaders). Non-dichotomous X variables:
– Interval variables– Nominal variables with more than two
levels Multiple X variables Solo effects
![Page 36: Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to Study the Effects of Group Composition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814449550346895db0e807/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Limitations Requires
– Interval outcomes – At least four-person groups– a large number of groups– considerable variation in diversity
Does not provide an account dynamic factors of group interaction.

Conclusions The model presented offers some
unique opportunities for the study of groups.
Approach combines state-of-the-art statistical methods with theories of groups.
