Neighborhood Disadvantage, Network Social Capital, and Depressive Symptoms
Research on why neighborhood disadvantage matters for health focuses on the capacity of neighborhoods to regulate residents' behavior through informal social control. The authors extend this research by conducting a multilevel analysis of data from a 1995 telephone survey of 497 residents of 32 neighborhoods in a U.S. city. The authors find that network social capital mediates the contextual effect of neighborhood disadvantage on depressive sympt…
Contextualizing Health Outcomes: Do Effects of Network Structure Differ for Women and Men
Core Networks and Tie Activation: What Kinds of Routine Networks Allocate Resources in Nonroutine Situations
Social resources research has linked activated ties to outcomes-but not to the core networks from which the ties came. This study shifts the focus to the question of how networks allocate resources. The activation of core network ties is analyzed in a nonroutine situation-a hurricane-to determine how core network structure affects the degree to which individuals activate core network ties to gain one type of social resource-informal support. Resu…

The Social Context of Men's and Women's Job Search Ties: Membership in Voluntary Organizations, Social Resources, and Job Search Outcomes
We address a neglected issue in the literature on social resources by asking how one aspect of the context of searcher-contact ties, shared membership in voluntary organizations, affects social resources and, through them, job search outcomes. We also ask whether these effects differ by gender. Our results show that using a contact with whom a job searcher shared membership in a fraternal/service organization decreased the probability that the se…
Situational Contingencies Surrounding the Receipt of Informal Support
The social support strand of network analysis has confirmed the importance of taking seriously the personal network context in studies of informal support. But, as recent reviews make clear, it has paid relatively little attention to other situational contingencies that may influence flows of informal support. To begin to fill this gap, we draw on social-resources theory and research on helping behavior during disasters to expand its analytical f…
Exploring the Determinants of Support Provision: Provider Characteristics, Personal Networks, Community Contexts, and Support Following Life Events
To explore the determinants of support provision in the natural disaster context, we followed House (1981) and developed a model that specifies how characteristics of the providers, their personal networks, and the community contexts in which they live facilitate or impede their ability to provide support. All three sets of factors affected support provision during Hurricane Andrew, but the pattern of effects differs for the preparation and short…
Community Attachment in a Rural Setting: A Refinement and Empirical Test of the Systemic Model1
As they examine the complex issues currently facing rural America, rural sociologists draw increasingly on studies of community attachment. Because this research tradition has established the superiority of the systemic model, recent studies in rural and urban settings have focused on the conceptualization and operationalization of its components. We introduce four operational refinements to this model, and we test our refined model with data fro…
Revisiting the Rural-Urban Contrast: Personal Networks in Nonmetropolitan and Metropolitan Settings1
To revisit the rural-urban contrast, we use data from non-metropolitan and metropolitan subsamples of the 1985 General Social Survey to test whether, compared to personal networks in urban settings, personal networks in rural settings contain ties of greater intensity and role multiplexity, are based more on kinship and neighborhood solidarities rather than on friendship, are smaller, are denser, and have greater educational, race-ethnic, and rel…
The Institutional Environment: Implications for Race and Gender Inequality in the U.S. Labor Market
L'article presente une analyse des phenomenes inegalitaires. L'A. a recours a des donnees du recensement de 1980 aux Etats-Unis et constate que les inegalites dans le monde du travail entre hommes et femmes, entre noirs et blancs sont plus fortes dans les entreprises situees dans un univers social plutot inegalitariste que dans les industries dont l'assise tend a etre nationale. L'A. juge ambigues les donnees qu'il a recueillies entre hommes et f…
Labor Turnover Bias in Estimating Wages
Disguising Personal Inventories: A Situated Identity Strategy
The problems associated with disguise in scale construction are approached from the perspective of situated identity theory. Procedures are proposed to determine empirically the communicable meaning of scale-item responses, to measure precisely the dimensions along which responses are potentially reactive. The utility of the approach is assessed in a series of studies employing various response formats for Machiavellian scale items. Contrary to c…
Black Capitalism and Black Inequality: Some Sociological Considerations
Though economists have demonstrated that, in theory, black capitalism should have little direct impact on the well-being of black noncapitalists, indirect and non-economic effects have not been investigated. Empirical tests of this relationship have been inadequate. Though not denying that black economic well-being may affect black business, we argue that the effect is at least reciprocal, and probably stronger in the other direction. We find tha…
