An exchange network is comprised of people or other units such as organizations interconnected in a group. The participants are occupants of positions in the network, and the connections between any two participants or collectively in the group as a whole may be exclusive or inclusive. Inclusion occurs when two or more exchanges must be completed for a benefit to be realized from any of the exchanges. This condition is in contrast to exclusion which occurs when only one exchange must be completed for a benefit to be realized. Having to make many exchanges is seen as weakening power or control. The aim of this research is to examine inclusion as a basis for power in exchange networks. A series of experiments investigates a variety of networks in order to quantitatively determine the joint effect of inclusion and exclusion and tests a theory that predicts that the effect of inclusion increases with the number of exchanges but is completely eliminated when exclusion is also present. The study of the condition of exclusion has dominated research on exchange networks. This project will contribute to the understanding of power relations in exchange networks by systematically investigating the condition of inclusion.

交换网络由人或其他单位组成， 作为一个群体中相互联系的组织。 参与者是 网络中位置的占有者，以及 小组中的任何两个参与者或集体都可以 是排他性的还是包容性的 当两个或两个以上 必须完成交换，以便从 任何交换。 这一条件与排斥相反 这发生在只有一个交换必须完成的好处 才能实现。 不得不进行多次交换被视为削弱 权力或控制。 本研究的目的是检验包容性 作为交换网络中权力的基础。 一系列实验 研究各种网络，以便定量地 确定纳入和排除的联合效应， 该理论预测，夹杂物的影响随着 交换的数量，但完全消除时排除 也在场。 对排斥条件的研究一直是研究的主要内容 交换网络。 该项目将有助于 理解交换网络中的功率关系， 系统地研究夹杂物的情况。
