A Test of Structural features of Granove~e~s Strength of weak Ties Theory*
GrunouetterS Strength of weak ties’ theory offers a satisfying approach to the study of integration in networks of face-to-face interaction consisting of ~~~~tip~e subgroups. The present paper tests five hypotheses of this t~~eor,v in the setting of a n~~~t~dis~ip~inary social network of bioIogica1 scientists. Considerable support for the theory is indicated: the local bridges and intergroup ti...
متن کاملA Network Theory Revisited
this chapter I review empirical studies directly testing the hypotheses of m y 1973 paper " T h e Strength of Weak Ties" (hereafter "SWT") and work that elaborates those hypotheses theoretically or uses them to suggest new empirical research not discussed in my original formulation. Along the way, I will reconsider various aspects of the theoretical argument, attempt to plug some holes, and bro...
متن کاملMigrant networks and international migration: testing weak ties.
This article examines the role of migrant social networks in international migration and extends prior research by testing the strength of tie theory, decomposing networks by sources and resources, and disentangling network effects from complementary explanations. Nearly all previous empirical research has ignored friendship ties and has largely neglected extended-family ties. Using longitudina...
متن کاملRoles of Ties in Spreading
Background : Controlling global epidemics in the real world and accelerating information propagation in the artificial world are of great significance, which have activated an upsurge in the studies on networked spreading dynamics. Lots of efforts have been made to understand the impacts of macroscopic statistics (e.g., degree distribution and average distance) and mesoscopic structures (e.g., ...
متن کاملReconstructing Granovetter's network theory
We employ concepts from graph theory and cooperative game theory to reconstruct Granovetter’s famous thesis concerning ‘the strength of weak ties’. In contrast to existing formal models related to this thesis, our approach captures the mechanisms Granovetter invokes in the derivation of his thesis. Notably, our model allows for an analytical distinction between the strength of ties and the valu...
