The Dyad Census is a name interpreter interface that collects edges for existing alters. On the Dyad Census screen participants are asked if an edge exists for each alter pair combination. To describe the purpose of the task to a participant, place an Information stage before the Dyad Census.
Configuring Dyad Census
A Dyad Census can include multiple prompts, each of which relates to a single edge type. Each alter pair will be considered separately for each prompt.
Best Practices
Use this Interface to encourage participants to add edges that they might not have considered.
Try to Avoid
Using this interface with a large number of alters will result in a large number of screens. The number of pairs grows rapidly with the number of alters — n alters means n(n-1)/2 pairs per prompt.
