Preferred term

role of social networks in relationship initiation  

Definition

  • Social network perspectives have much to contribute to our understanding of why some people meet and others do not and why some who meet go on to develop a personal relationship and others do not. Although the forces that bring people together are often treated as a matter of chance or destiny, research has shown that social network factors play two important roles in this process.
