Residential mobility and the spatial dispersion of personal networks: Effects on social support

Abstract: a b s t r a c tUsing a representative national sample of personal networks, this article explores how the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and social support are linked. Three issues will be addressed here. Firstly, how is the spatial dispersion of personal networks related to individuals' social characteristics, network composition and residential mobility? Secondly, how do the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and their combined effect influence the number and (thirdly)… Show more

“…Sharing the same attribute or opinion can foster a privileged advice exchange. Homophily (CENTOLA et al, 2007;FELD, 1982;MCPHERSON et al, 2001) is the tendency to select an advice partner based on a common social characteristic such as gender, common values (BREIGER, 2004;NAHAPIET et al, 1998;LAZEGA, 2001;LAZEGA et al, 2012) or geographical location (GULATI, 1999;PARGUEL et al, 2007;VIRY, 2012). is paper focuses on the analysis of the horizontal dimension even if the vertical one is also taken into account as a control variable.…”

“…Scholars have long suggested that long distance movesmigration-are presumed to be in response to employment opportunities; furthermore, a recent study of county to county flows suggested that long-distance moves can also conform to stage of life course: whereas young adults tend to move to larger metropolitan areas with job opportunities, older persons nearing retirement are more likely to move to smaller micropolitan areas (Plane and Jurjevich 2009). Research has even suggested that the spatial dispersion of Mobility distance function 8 persons' network ties can impact the likelihood of moving further distances from where one was born (Viry 2012). For all these reasons, the assumption that the functional form is similar between long-and short-distance moves may not be reasonable.…”

“…Ou seja, um montante considerável (71%) dos recursos, ajudas e suportes (inclusive materiais) é oriundo dos ditos "laços fracos" (categorias: amigos, colegas, vizinhos, etc.) e não necessariamente dos laços fortes, como sugere grande parte da literatura acerca de migração e redes (Viry, 2012). Explicado de uma outra forma, boa parte dos contatos provedores de ajuda, recursos e suportes de Clara -ou seja, dos seus ditos "laços fortes" -é composta basicamente por "laços fracos".…”
