The Sociometric Star Model

The Sociometric Star Model is a way to visualize social relationships within a group, identifying individuals’ popularity and influence. It places people on a diagram based on who they like and who they’re liked by, highlighting key figures—such as stars—who are highly regarded or influential. The model helps understand social dynamics, showing how positive and negative connections shape group interaction. It’s useful in settings like workplaces or classrooms to improve collaboration and address social issues by identifying well-connected, influential individuals and those who might be isolated.
