Egocentric Social Network Structure, Health, and Pro-Social Behaviors in a National Panel Study of Americans (2012)

This paper provides population-representative longitudinal data on how egocentric network structure (degree, closeness, transitivity) relates to health and prosocial behaviour in American adults over three waves. For the SNHDB project it establishes quantified baseline rates of network change, documents the degree-closeness tradeoff (more contacts, weaker average ties), and identifies bidirectional links between network size and prosocial behaviour that are directly relevant to designing interventions aimed at improving social network health.
