本文探讨了年轻人对高等教育的认知和经历是否以及以何种方式促进社会资本在其社会网络中的向上（从子女到父母）和横向（从兄弟姐妹到兄弟姐妹）传播，从而可能为家庭成员提供桥梁资本，特别是在很少或没有高等教育经验的家庭中。它利用了一个项目的数据，该项目探索了一群“潜在可招募”的成年人及其更广泛的网络中关于高等教育决策的内在本质。这项研究调查了16个社交网络，107人的样本包括6名青少年和15名20多岁的年轻人。本文的结论是，尽管现有的网络资本理论方法普遍强调社会资本的向下传递，但年轻一代的教育经历对于塑造其他（包括年长的）网络成员的看法至关重要，尽管并不总是以鼓励正式教育参与的方式。
This paper explores whether and in what ways young people's perceptions and experiences of higher education (HE) can facilitate the transmission within their social networks of social capital both upwardly (from child to parent) and horizontally (from sibling to sibling), and thus can potentially provide bridging capital to family members, especially in families with little or no prior experience of HE. It utilises data from a project that explored the embedded nature of decision‐making about HE amongst a group of ‘potentially recruitable’ adults and their wider networks. The study researched 16 networks, and the resultant sample of 107 individuals included six teenagers and 15 young people in their twenties. The paper concludes that, despite the general emphasis within existing theoretical approaches to network capital on thedownwardtransmission of social capital, the educational experiences of younger generations can be critical in shaping the perceptions of other (including older) network members, albeit not always in ways that encourage formal educational participation.
