在护航模型中，社会网络被视为围绕个人一生的动态等级结构。作为对整个生命周期中护送结构和功能的实证定义的一步，我们对一个双文化样本（N = 159）的年轻成年女性、她们的母亲和祖母进行了询问。在网络规模、网络提供的支持数量以及提名亲密家庭成员作为主要支持来源方面，不同世代和文化的人都获得了可比的结果。然而，在家庭关系与友谊关系的平衡方面，几代人之间有明显的变化。年轻人在他们的社交网络中包括更少的家庭成员和更多的朋友，他们从朋友那里得到更多的支持。这些横截面结果与护航模型一致，并表明纵向研究是必要的。
Within the Convoy Model, social networks are viewed as dynamic hierarchic structures surrounding the individual throughout life. As a step toward empirical definition of convoy structure and function across the life span, a bicultural sample (N = 159) of young adult women, their mothers, and their grandmothers were queried. Comparable results were obtained across generations and cultures with regard to network size, the amount of support provided by the network, and the nomination of close family members as primary sources of support. However, there was a marked shift across generations in the balance of familial versus friendship relations. Younger persons included fewer family members and more friends in their networks, and they received more support from friends. These cross-sectional results are consistent with the Convoy Model and suggest that longitudinal research is warranted.
