Botts hypothese getoetst bij Turkse migranten

Samenvatting

One of the first to use the concept of social network analytically was Elizabth Bott in her work on familial relationships (Family and Social Network, 2nd edition, London, 1971). She stated that the density of a familial network affects the role relationship of the partners to a marriage: couples with close-knit networks will have a segregated role relationship; those with loose-knit networks, a joint relationship. Bott's hypothesis is reexamined in light of data from a study of Turkish migrant families in the Netherlands (details not provided). It is concluded that the degree of network density provides only a partial prediction of the degree of conjugal segregation developed between husband & wife. Different types of conjugal role relationships can be predicted if one considers both network density & the degree of segregation of the sexes within the social network. 10 References. Modified HA
