摘要

本文分析了约束理论、社会情感选择理论和功能选择理论对老年人自我中心网络的解释。联系日记法应用于匈牙利全国代表性横断面样本中随机选择的子样本，列举了181名50岁及以上成年人与社会联系人的所有积极联系和接触。年龄与网络规模负相关，但与平均纽带强度正相关。退休、健康状况下降和伴侣的死亡是外部限制因素，并与缩小的网络有关。我们的研究结果支持社会情绪选择性理论，但不支持功能选择性理论。

Egocentric Contact Networks of Older Adults: Featuring Quantity, Strength and Function of Ties

ABSTRACT This article analyzes how the theory of constraints, the socio-emotional and functional selectivity theories can explain the egocentric networks of older adults. The contact diary method is applied on a randomly chosen subsample of a nationally representative cross-sectional sample in Hungary enumerating all active ties and encounters with social contacts of 181 adults aged 50 and above. Age is negatively associated with network size, but it is positively correlated with average tie strength. Retirement, declining health, and death of the partner act as external constraints, and are associated with a shrinking network. Our results support the socio-emotional selectivity theory, but not the functional selectivity theory.
