Abstract
As we discussed in part one of this monograph, the access to social capital is not only mediated by network size and density of informal as well as formal networks (discussed in the previous chapter), but also by range and openness or spanning structural holes. In this chapter we will introduce the operationalization of these measures and we will test the test-retest reliabilities, internal consistency reliabilities as well as the construct and criterion validities.
This chapter was prepared with aid of research funding from the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports for a project entitled “Shared values and behavior norms…” (Grant No. 2D06014).
