This paper evaluates the reliability of measures of centrality and prominence of social networks among high school students.. Results show that, - Global measures (considering direct and indirect choices) are more sensitive to measurement errors than local measures - In-measures are more stable than out-measures. - Among types of social support, emotional support gives the least stable measures of centrality and prominence, whereas social companionship gives the most stable results. - The reliability of centrality and prominence measures is higher when the network is denser

The case study of Slovenia is presented. In the article we test how individual and contextual factors influence sense of neighbourhood in Slovenia.

Aim of the study was to identify population groups at very high risk for frequent perception of stress in Slovenia. Binary multiple logistic regression was used to determine the impact of gender, age, education, employment, self-assessed social class, type of residence community, and geographical region. The highest odds for stress were registered in employed women, aged 40-49, with at least college education level, requiring specific public health measures to be introduced in this group.
