当代家庭环境的特点是复杂的关系网络，超越了家庭的界限。事实上，个人与非居住家庭成员、亲密朋友、邻居、同事等建立了有意义的关系。不幸的是，大多数涉及家庭关系的调查都集中在家庭上，并研究一些二元关系，主要是夫妻关系和亲子关系。该贡献涉及使用社交网络方法来理解个人嵌入的家庭相互依赖的社会矩阵。社交网络方法从个人对其有意义的家庭背景的定义开始，拓宽了家庭的定义。它们还允许根据所有家庭成员之间存在的相互依赖性来绘制家庭网络。本文描述了社交网络方法在三个主要环境中的使用：全国代表性调查中的个人、离婚后面临家庭重组的个人以及心理治疗中的个人。鉴于生活轨迹的多元化和人际关系的个性化，所提出的方法可能会极大地有助于理解对当代社会中个人重要的关系，以及基于家庭的社会资本的创造。
Contemporary family contexts are characterized by a complex web of relationships, which goes beyond the household boundaries. Indeed, individuals develop meaningful relationships with non-residential family members, close friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. Unfortunately, most surveys dealing with family ties focus on households and study a few dyads, mainly couple and parent–child relationships. This contribution addresses the use of social network methods for the understanding of the social matrix of family interdependencies in which individuals are embedded. Social network methods broaden the definition of family by starting with the individuals’ own definition of their meaningful family context. They also allow the mapping of family networks based on the interdependencies existing among all family members. This contribution describes the use of social network methods in relation to three main settings: individuals in national representative surveys, individuals facing a family recomposition after divorce, and individuals in psychotherapy. In the light of the pluralization of life trajectories and the individualization of personal relationships, the proposed approach may significantly contribute to the understanding of the relationships that matter for individuals in contemporary societies, and of the creation of family-based social capital.
