Figure 1
The four network diagrams are arranged in a 2 by 2 layout: Denver at Time 1, Denver at Time 2, Wichita at Time 1, and Wichita at Time 2. Each network consists of circular nodes connected by multiple directional arrows representing relationships among participants. The Denver networks show a densely connected central cluster with several peripheral nodes and numerous overlapping directional links at both time points, indicating sustained interaction patterns with some structural changes over time. The Wichita networks display a more dispersed structure at Time 1, with nodes connected through a central grouping and several outward links, while the Time 2 network appears more integrated, with increased connectivity among nodes and a denser concentration of directional relationships. Across all 4 networks, the arrangement highlights changes in network structure, connectivity, and interaction patterns between locations and time periods.Longitudinal social network structure and psychological distress in Denver and Wichita. Nodes represent participants and directed edges represent supportive ties. Node color reflects psychological distress, with darker shades indicating higher distress. Panels display network configurations at Time 1 and Time 2 for each site
