Abstract
The article discusses the general principles involved in factorizing correlations between persons, and compares the special techniques put forward by Burt and Stephenson respectively. The chief points of agreement and disagreement are summarized. In statistical procedure the two writers prove to be largely in accord; but they differ over the psychological and the methodological implications, the chief source of divergence being the so-called “reciprocity principle.”Keywords
