A network is part of the broader category of social support, which is present when a person perceives they are cared for, esteemed, and connected to a large group of concerned people. Networking is the ability to create and utilize social ties to gain support.
The graph shows your students' self-rated behaviors on the three components of networking:
1. Create Connections
2. Utilize Relationships
3. Support Others
The graph provides average ratings for all items within a component, and the table displays the number of students that selected each rating for individual items. Some items, like "There are very few people that I can turn to for support," are reverse scored. Selecting a rating of '1 - not very like me' means that students are demonstrating the ability to create connections, whereas if they selected a rating of '5 - very like me,' they currently may need to focus on the create connections component of networking.
