Advice-seeking | A deliberate action where a clinician asks another for expertise around a work-related task, such as using an EST. In this study, advice-seeking is the type of tie examined among participants. |
Multiplex | Ties between two individuals that are based on more than one type of relationships (e.g., seeking advice on a new EST and seeking advice on treating children exposed to trauma). |
Reciprocity | The tendency to form mutual advice-seeking relationships where participant A seeks advice from participant B, and participant B seeks advice from participant A. |
Transitivity | The tendency for two participants who seek advice from one another to share a mutual third party partner (triadic pathways). “The friend of a friend is my friend.” If participant A seeks advice from participant B, and participant B seeks advice from participant C, then A is also likely to seek advice from participant C. |
