Crisis in a Cloister

This directed network contains ratings between monks related to a crisis in a cloister (or monastery) in New England (USA) which lead to the departure of several of the monks. This dataset aggregates several available ratings ((dis)esteem, (dis)liking, positive/negative influence, praise/blame) into only one rating, which is positive if all original ratings were positive and negative if all original ratings were negative. If there were mixed opinions the rating has the value 0. A node represents a monk and an edge between two monks shows that the left monk rated the right monk.
