Social Networks and Adaptation.

Cohen, Carl I.; And Others

Gerontologist, v25 n3 p297-304 Jun 1985

Followed 133 elderly residents of mid-Manhattan hotels for 1 year using 19 network variables. Findings confirmed the direct and buffering effects of social networks. Of clinical relevance was the non-linearity of the network effect: Depending on a person's stress level, different network dimensions must be emphasized and strengthened. (Author/NRB)
