Family Networks: A Sociometric Method to Study Relationships in Families

Abstract

Family researchers have made extensive use of household survey data that predefine the boundaries of the family system and focus on a small number of family dyads. The complexity of contemporary family contexts that have emerged as a result of divorce and remarriage might not be well served by those techniques. This article shows that social network methods can improve existing methods used to study families.
