H No

Hypothesis granularity

Hypothesis: description

Pearson correlation p value

Result: significant

Direction

H1

Overall period

People with more closeness centrality will have more stress than people with less closeness centrality

−0.0568

Yes

Negative

H2

Overall period

An individual’s hierarchical position enables him/her to play the role of intermediary between other nodes, hence obtains more opportunities which makes his/her life more stressful

0.1214

No

Positive

H3

Overall period

The eigenvalue of an individual positions him/her as central nodes in a network and captures more information, hence feels more stressed

−0.0611

Yes

Negative

H4

Overall period

An individual in a denser network will have more potential connections/relationships with other nodes and promote more sharing of resources, hence individuals are more stressed

−0.0957

Yes

Negative

H5

Overall period

An individual who are well positioned in a network and reach to many people in few number steps are more stressful

−0.0542

Yes

Negative
