社会资本已经成为社会学和经济学文献中相当流行的概念，甚至在一般新闻界。然而，使用这一概念的科学研究通常以相当特别的方式对其进行测量。在本文中，我讨论了可以遵循的方法来衡量个人的社会资本。应该向个人提出什么样的问题，以及如何将这些问题汇总为对他或她的社会资本的衡量？本文的讨论是概念性的，并不涉及要提出的具体问题。
Social capital has become quite a popular concept in the sociological and economic literature, and even in the general press. Scientific investigations using this concept have measured it, however, usually in rather ad hoc fashions. In this paper I discuss possible approaches that could be followed to measure the social capital of individuals. What kind of questions should be posed to the individual, and how should these questions be aggregated to a measure of his or her social capital? The discussion in this paper is of a conceptual nature and does not go up to the concrete questions to be asked.
