The concept of social capital has been extensively used as a predictor for formal educational outcomes and labor market success, whereas its effect on participation in adult education after the end of formal education is a comparatively new application. Different social capital theories assume social networks to be beneficial for individuals in different ways. Within resource-based theories, subjects may profit from information, referrals, and practical support available in networks. In theories based on reference-group processes, significant others are assumed to motivate career mobility and participation in adult education. Most of the available studies on adult education and labor market success are only able to offer data on a single dimension of social capital. Thus, the relative explanatory power of different kinds of social capital is difficult to judge. Furthermore, because of the prevalence of cross-sectional survey designs, the availability of prospective measures of social capital, and consequently, the availability of better opportunities for causal inference is rare. The present chapter describes the development of a social capital instrument for the Starting Cohort 6—Adults of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). Our main aim is to provide direct, reliable, and time-efficient measurements for all important dimensions of social capital, combining prospective and retrospective measurement strategies and relying on established and newly developed instruments.
