Preferred term
egocentric networks
Definition
- Egocentric networks are patterns of social relations emphasizing the personal nature of modern-day communities. Rather than treating community as spatially bounded units such as neighborhoods or villages, egocentric networks treat community as networks of social relations emanating from a focal individual: ties with family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Egocentric Networks]
