Σύνοψη	Directed ego network analysis examines the personal network of a focal node — the ego — by distinguishing the direction of each tie: who sends resources, support, or information to the ego, and to whom the ego sends them. This asymmetric perspective reveals role differentiation, dependence, and brokerage that undirected ego networks cannot capture.	Weighted ego network analysis examines the personal network of a focal actor (the ego) and incorporates tie strength — measured as interaction frequency, closeness, or resource exchange — as edge weights. By moving beyond simple presence or absence of a tie, it captures how much each relationship matters and how those varying strengths shape outcomes such as social support, information access, or influence.
