Social access and the clustering of personal connections - Hammer, M. (Elsevier)
Analysis of an elementary level of social structure may be approached through a systematic description of who has access to whom. ''Access'' itself is a potential and cannot be directly measured, but differential actual acquaintanceship among sets of individuals can be presumed to reflect degrees of access. The paper presents a preliminary quantitative analysis of the systematic relationships shown by the patterns of acquaintanceship in several small social networks in the metropolitan New York area.
