Abstract
We measured interpersonal perception accuracy by focusing on the relationship between actors' centrality and their ability to accurately report their social interactions. We used the network measures of actors' betweenness centrality and degree centrality to identify the most prominent members by correlating ego-perception and alter-perception in a “non-reciprocity” type of misalignment. We found a positive correlation between actors' centrality and their centrality as assessed by senior management, and a negative correlation between actors' centrality and their accuracy in recalling interactions. Underreporting social interactions may represent a third way of measuring the importance of members and finding the most influential actors.
