How to make a sociogram

Elements Of A Sociogram

THE SOCIOGRAM USES LINES AND shapes to depict the different actors present and organize them in categories, as well as the network of relationships within them and the state of those relationships. Different shapes are used to represent the actors, while the lines represent their relationships.

What each type of shape and line represents is up for the facilitators, and there are many different versions that one can choose. Ultimately, choosing these will depend on the context of the sociogram and what is needed then. A common version would look similar to this:
