美国的移民宗教组织由于其在社区生活中的道德、社会和文化地位，在解决宗教以外的关键问题方面具有独特的地位。宗教组织越来越多地在减少艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名化和错误信息等健康问题上发挥领导作用。然而，一些宗教领袖和组织在采用新的健康计划方面存在障碍，特别是如果这个问题被视为有争议的话。我们的研究探讨了宗教成员之间的社会网络结构如何影响组织接受新信息或有争议的想法，如艾滋病毒/艾滋病。使用社会网络分析方法的数据，从2841年接触20个移民华人佛教寺庙和基督教教堂在纽约市，我们测试了是否移民宗教组织的可能性参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病活动与存在的社会资本的结合或桥接。这两种形式的社会资本被认为是调节新思想的曝光和开放程度的媒介。我们发现，涉及艾滋病毒/艾滋病的宗教组织更有可能有较低水平的社会资本，如成员有较少的联系和较少的人口统计属性的共同点。我们还发现，涉及艾滋病毒/艾滋病的宗教组织更有可能拥有更高水平的桥接社会资本，如成员与组织外的人有更多联系所示。我们的研究强调了超越宗教类型和领导属性的社会网络结构的成员，以更好地解释组织一级的接受艾滋病毒/艾滋病的参与的重要性。
Immigrant religious organizations in the United States are uniquely positioned to address critical issues beyond religion because of their moral, social and cultural prominence in community life. Increasingly, religious organizations have taken on a leadership role around health issues such as decreasing HIV/AIDS stigma and misinformation. However, there are barriers for some religious leaders and organizations in adopting new health programs, especially if the issue is seen as controversial. Our study examines how social network structures among religious members influence organizational acceptance of new information or controversial ideas, like HIV/AIDS. Using social network analysis methods on data from 2841 contacts in 20 immigrant Chinese Buddhist temples and Christian churches in New York City, we tested whether an immigrant religious organization’s likelihood of being involved in HIV/AIDS activities was associated with the presence of bonding or bridging social capital. These two forms of social capital have been found to mediate the levels of exposure and openness to new ideas. We found HIV/AIDS-involved religious organizations were more likely to have lower levels of bonding social capital as indicated by members having fewer ties and fewer demographic attributes in common. We also found HIV/AIDS-involved religious organizations were more likely to have higher levels of bridging social capital as indicated by members having significantly more ties to people outside of their organization. Our study highlights the importance of looking beyond religion type and leadership attributes to social network structures among members in order to better explain organization-level receptiveness to HIV/AIDS involvement.
