两种模式的结构形式的小，非正式的群体进行了比较。一个是由温希普推导出来的，要求社会关系的模式是严格可传递的。另一种基于格兰诺维特关于弱联系和强联系的思想，只需要特殊的有限形式的传递性。当这些替代模型与人类互动的数据进行测试时，结果表明Winship模型不适合数据，但从Granwartter的工作中开发的模型却适合。
Two models of the structural form of small, informal groups are compared. One, derived by Winship, requires that patterns of social affiliation be strictly transitive. The other, based on Granovetter's ideas about weak and strong ties, requires only a special limited form of transitivity. When these alternative models are tested with data on human interaction, it turns out that the Winship model does not fit the data but that the model developed from Granovetter's work does.
