The Strength Of Weak Ties: A Network Theory Revisited

.
Sociological Theory, (19830101)

Abstract

In this chapter I review empirical studies directly testing the hypotheses of my 1973 paper "The 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. A long the way, I will reconsider various aspects of the theoretical argument, attempt to plug some holes, and broaden its base. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR
