This term is occasionally employed to refer to forms of measurement in the social sciences that are concerned with measurement through scales. Its more common use is in relation to an approach to research that emphasizes the mapping of relationships between units of analysis (individuals, groups, organizations, etc.). Increasingly, sociometry is called network analysis, and most research that was formally referred to as sociometric is subsumed by this field.
