  • Chapter 7 the Social Capital of Structural
    201 Chapter 7 The Social Capital of Structural Holes Ronald S. Burt © Ronald S. Burt, 2001, pending copyright transfer to the Russell Sage Foundation. This is a pre-print of a chapter in New Directions in Economic Sociology, edited by Mauro F. Guillén, Randall Collins, Paula England and Marshall Meyer. New York: Russell Sage Foundation. 202 INTRODUCTION This chapter — drawn in large part from lengthy review elsewhere of argument and evidence on social capital (Burt, 2000) — is about current work on the social capital of structural holes. I begin broadly with social capital in metaphor, get more specific with four network mechanisms that define social capital in theory (contagion, prominence, closure, and brokerage across structural holes), then focus on three categories of empirical evidence on the fourth mechanism: evidence of rewards and achievement associated with brokerage, evidence of creativity and learning associated with brokerage, and evidence on the process of bridging structural holes. SOCIAL CAPITAL METAPHOR Figure 1 is an overview of social capital in metaphor and network structure. The diagram is a road map through the next few pages, and a reminder that beneath general agreement about social capital as a metaphor lie a variety of network mechanisms that can make contradictory predictions about social capital. Cast in diverse styles of argument (e.g., Coleman 1990; Bourdieu and Wacquant 1992; Burt 1992; Putnam 1993), social capital is a metaphor about advantage. Society can be viewed as a market in which people exchange all variety of goods and ideas in pursuit of their interests. Certain people, or certain groups of people, do better in the sense of receiving higher returns to their efforts.

  • Social Capital: a Theory of Social Structure and Action - Nan Lin Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521474310 - Social Capital: A Theory of Social Structure and Action - Nan Lin Frontmatter More information Social Capital A Theory of Social Structure and Action In Social Capital, Nan Lin explains the importance of using social connections and social relations in achieving goals. Social capital, or resources accessed through such connections and rela- tions, is critical (along with human capital, or what a person or an organization actually possesses) to individuals, social groups, organizations, and communities in achieving objectives. This book places social capital in the family of capital theo- ries (the classical and neoclassical theories), articulates its ele- ments and propositions, presents research programs, findings, and agendas, and theorizes its significance in various moments of interactions between individual actions and social structure (for example, the primordial groups, social exchanges, organi- zations, institutional transformations, and cybernetworks). Nan Lin eloquently introduces a groundbreaking theory that force- fully argues and shows why “it is who you know” as well as “what you know” that make a difference in life and society. Nan Lin is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Asian/ Pacific Studies Institutes at Duke University. He is author of The Struggle for Tiananmen (1992); Social Support, Life Events and Depression (with Alfred Dean and Walter Ensel, 1986); Foun- dation of Social Research (1976); and The Study of Human Communication (1973). He is coeditor (with Peter Marsden) of Social Structure and Network Analysis (1982). His work has appeared in American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, and Social Forces, among other journals.

  • Structuring Social Capital: Social, Cultural and Institutional Dimensions
    Structuring Social Capital: Social, Cultural and Institutional Dimensions Nan Lin Yang-chih Fu Chih-jou Chen Academia Sinica This is a draft; do not quote without permission 5/ 24/2008 Paper presented at the International Conference on Social Capital, May 28, 2008 at the Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Data used in this paper were drawn from the thematic research project “Social Capital: Its Origins and Consequences", sponsored by Academia Sinica, Taiwan, through its Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Institute of Sociology. The principal investigator of the project is Nan Lin. We acknowledge the assistance of Siyin Lee in the data analysis. Lin, Fu and Chen 1 Abstract Using the attribute data (gender, strength of ties and relationships) in the position generator from three societies (US, China and Taiwan) we examine how the societies are differentiated by how these attributes differentially describe access to social capital (embedded resources). We consider possible differential patterns relative to social (friendships), cultural (nuclear, extended and pseudo-kinships), and institutional (school, work, clan ties) dimensions. Results show that different patterns can be discerned between the US and China samples. For the US respondents, friends emerge as an important source in accessing better social capital. For the Chinese respondents, kin ties and institutional ties are more important. Taiwan seems to fall in-between with the continued but weakened significance of kin ties, the cont inued significance of institutional ties, and the increasing significance of friends. We suggest that these patterns are more consistent with an industrialization explanation than a cultural or political-economic regime explanation.

  • Lin 1 a Network Theory of Social Capital Nan Lin Duke University
    A Network Theory of Social Capital1 Nan Lin Duke University [email protected] April 2005 Lin 1 To appear in Handbook on Social Capital, edited by Dario Castiglione, Jan van Deth and Guglielmo Wolleb, Oxford University Press Lin 2 The concept of “social capital “has captured the imagination and attention of a wide range of scholars and professionals in diverse disciplines and practical arenas. Since the notion of social capital has generated multiple definitions, conceptualizations and empirical measurements, the continued diversity in such usages without integration may undermine and ultimately bring its downfall as a rigorous scientific concept and theory social analysis. The purpose of this chapter is to describe a network-based theory of social capital and to point out how such a theory should help resolving a number of prevalent and critical issues. While it is beyond the scope of this essay to present details on each of these issues, the essay identifies the central topics and proposes avenues to possible solutions, with references provided for further readings. The essay begins with a discussion that places social capital in a family of capital theories, and points to its network-based conceptual origin. DEFINITION AND THEORY To gain a better understanding of “social capital,” it is necessary to place it in the context of different theoretical types of capital (Lin, 2001a: Chapter 1). “Capital,” first of all, is both a concept and a theory.2 As a concept, it represents investment in certain types of resources of value in a given society. As a theory, it describes the process by which capital is captured and reproduced for returns (Lin 2001b: 3).

After drawing the trends of the social support research and clarifying the theoretical relationships between social support and another two related concepts—social resources and social capital—in Lin’s social network research, I summarize Lin’s important and persistent five-stage research efforts on social support, discuss his critical research impacts, and propose crucial future research directions his work enlightens. Lin is a theorist, methodologist, and empirical researcher. His work has stimulated the systematic development and rise of social support, theoretically, methodologically, and empirically.

  • 1 Social Support Lijun Song Vanderbilt University Joonmo Son
    Social Support Lijun Song Vanderbilt University Joonmo Son National University of Singapore Nan Lin Duke University Key words: Social support, social network, social integration, social capital, social cohesion Song, Lijun, Joonmo Son, and Nan Lin. 2011. “Social Support.” Pp. 116-128 in The Sage Handbook of Social Network Analysis, edited by John Scott and Peter J. Carrington. London: SAGE. 1 Social support, a network-based social phenomenon, has become the focus of research attention in the last three decades. As shown by a search of the Social Sciences Citation Index for articles whose topic includes “social support” there were only three such articles in the 1950s and ten in the 1960s. The number rose to seventy-six in the 1970s. Following this, on average per year, there were ninety-four such articles in the 1980s, 1394 in the 1990s and 2687 from 2000 to 2008. Social support has attracted burgeoning attention especially in health literature since the lack of social support is regarded as a potential fundamental cause of disease (Link and Phelan, 1995). As another search of the Social Sciences Citation Index for articles with “social support” and “health” in their topics reports (see Figure 1), on average per year, there were less than six such articles from 1976 to 1989; the number increased to 445 in the 1990s and dramatically jumped to 1135 from 2000 to 2008. A few books explored the relationship between social support and its health consequences (Caplan, 1974; Caplan and Killilea, 1976; Cohen, and Syme, 1985; Cohen, Underwood, and Gottlieb, 2000; Gottlieb, 1981 1983; House, 1981; Lin, Dean, and Ensel, 1986).
