For decades, scholars have wrestled with the assumption that old age is characterized by social isolation. However, there has been no systematic, nationally representative evaluation of this possibility in terms network connectedness. In article, we develop a profile older adults' integration respect to nine dimensions interpersonal networks and voluntary associations. We use new data from National Social Life, Health, Aging Project (NSHAP), population-based study noninstitutionalized...
ObjectivesThis paper describes the rationale behind National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project's (NSHAP) social networks module, data collection procedures, measurement of several egocentric network properties. This includes a discussion size, composition, volume contact with members, density, bridging potential. Data on extent to which older adults involve members in personal health matters are also discussed.

This article marks the occasion of Social Science Research's 50th anniversary by reflecting on progress sequence analysis (SA) since its introduction into social sciences four decades ago, with focuses developments SA thus far in and potential future directions. The application sciences, especially life course research, has mushroomed last decade a half. Using analogy, we examined birth childhood (the first wave), adolescence young adulthood second mature paper. paper provides summary (1)...
Most studies of older adults' social networks focus on their access to dense that yield support. This paper documents gender differences in the extent which adults maintain a related, but distinct, form capital—bridging potential, involves serving as tie between two unconnected parties and thus boosts independence control everyday life. I use egocentric network data from national sample 3,005 adults—collected 2005–2006 by National Social Life, Health, Aging Project—to compare men's women's...
Social capital theory suggests that individuals can access resources through their relationships with others. While research in this area typically focuses on the potential benefits of having high-status network alters, authors emphasize experts, particular, provide to specialized knowledge. Expertise may be accessed formal, contractual means. But who have an expert within close family and friends benefit from more convenient lower cost expertise. The explore prevalence nature contacts...
We evaluated network mixing and influences by members upon Black men who have sex with men.
Research on time use has seen several major developments in recent years. These include the adoption of exciting new technologies (e.g., smartphones, wearable Global Positioning System devices) that track behavior real time, as well a growing international database—the Multinational Time Use Study—that surpassed one million days’ worth harmonized time-diary data. are transforming our understanding social patterning everyday behavior. This article provides updates about this area work,...
Research on older adults’ social integration usually focuses time-indefinite access to support, community involvement, and network connectedness. Little research has examined the actual amount of contact adults have a typical day. The author uses nationally representative data 92,698 adults—collected in 2003-2009 American Time Use Surveys—to examine age-related trends rates everyday contact. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression analyses reveal nonlinear relationships between age Older...
Research shows that socially disadvantaged groups—especially African Americans and people of low socioeconomic status (SES)—experience more unstable social environments. I argue this causes higher rates turnover within their personal networks. This is a particularly important issue among older adults, who may benefit from stable article, therefore, examines whether disadvantage related to various aspects network change. Social change was assessed using longitudinal egocentric data the...
Objectives.This article describes new longitudinal data on older adults' egocentric social networks collected by the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP). We describe a novel survey technique that was used to record specific personnel changes occurred within respondents' during 5-year study period, we make recommendations regarding usage of resulting data.
The role social network structure plays in facilitating flows of support between spouses is often overlooked. This study examined whether levels depended on the degree overlap spouses' networks. Network may enhance capacities by increasing their understanding each other's needs and ability to coordinate for other.

This article combines relational perspectives on gender identity with social network structural health to understand men's sexual functioning. The authors argue that positions afford independence and control over resources are consistent traditional masculine roles may therefore affect performance. For example, when a heterosexual man's female partner has more frequent contact his confidants than he does—which the refer as betweenness—his autonomy, privacy, constrained. Analyses of data from...
Abstract Social network analysis has been one of the most influential scientific revolutions past century. Its success due, in part, to its methodological sophistication and emphasis it places on identifying clearly depicting features social structure. As such, is often viewed stark contrast structuralist paradigm that dominated sciences prior rise – structural–functionalism - mid-20th In this paper, we highlight important connections exist between key assumptions tenets some...
