“…This limitation is offset to some degree by the argument that respondents’ perceptions of partner characteristics should be more influential than actual ones [43]. In addition, research suggests that proxy reporting is most accurate when the subject is a close tie, and particularly a spouse or cohabitating partner [44]. The accuracy of proxy reports is also optimized when the information is behavioral (i.e., observable) rather than attitudinal [45, 46], reducing concerns about the reliability of partner behavioral information.…”

“…There is some bias and error in the respondents' recall of their relations, but we have some, although limited, information about the types of biases that emerge. For example, when confronted with a name generator, it is likely that a respondent mentions his or her frequent and close contacts, contacts that are more central in the network, and multiplex relationships rather than his or her infrequent, distant, less central or one-dimensional instrumental contacts (Kogovsek and Ferligoj, 2004;Brewer, 2000;Marin, 2004). Also, there is a high test-retest stability of the names reported in the name generators (Marsden, 1990).…”
