Changes in Mothers' Social Networks and Social Support Following Divorce.
Leslie, Leigh A.; Grady, Katherine
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v47 n3 p663-73 Aug 1985
Interviewed 38 mothers to determine the relationship between network characteristics and social support, and changes in both following divorce. Results indicated that characteristics associated with the support a mother receives may differ from the characteristics associated with how satisfied she feels with her network. With time, social networks become more homogeneous, denser, and more kin-filled. (Author/BL)
