社交网络中固有的“社会资本”能否提供联系，使老年人获得实际和情感上的支持？杀戮和非亲属，以及参与组织和非正式联系（如与邻居的联系）的相对重要性是什么？在简要的背景下，借鉴以往的文献，本文解决了这些问题，通过分析英国家庭面板调查（BHPS）的数据。它考察了人们在多大程度上认为他们可以依靠朋友和亲戚的情感和实际支持。创建了一个因变量，用于测量I社会资本驻留在受访者的社会网络中的结果。无子女或连续无伴侣的长者支持程度相对较低;经常与他人接触、经常与邻居互动、认为邻里关系良好的长者支持程度相对较高。积极参与组织活动对社会支持的影响小于非正式的社会接触。在许多不同形式的组织活动中，唯一与社会支持有积极联系的是通过宗教活动与他人接触，以及参加体育俱乐部。社会支持的工人阶级的苹果酒，即使是那些“良好的网络”在正式或非正式的方式，加强了他们的社会资本比专业和管理职业群体。
Flow can the 'social capital' inherent in social networks provide contacts through which older people access practical and emotional support? What is the relative importance of kill and non-kin, and of participation in organisations and informal ties such as contacts with neighbours? Following a brief contextualisation that draws on previous literature, this paper addresses these questions through analysis of British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) data. It examines the extent to which people feel they call count on emotional and practical support from friends and relatives. A dependent variable was created that Measures the outcome of the I social capital' residing in a respondent's social network. Relatively poor support Was found amongst elders who were childless or had been continuously without a partner; relatively rich support was found amongst those who had frequent contact with other people, who interacted frequently with neighbours, and who regarded their neighbourhood as a positive social environment. Being active in organisations had less effect on social support than informal social contacts. Amongst many different forms of organisational activity, the only ones that had a positive association with social support were being in contact with others through religious activities, and engaging in sports clubs. The social support of working-class ciders, even those 'well networked' in formal or informal ways, was strengthened less by their social capital than was that of the professional and managerial occupational groups.
