Stanley Milgram's small world experiment came to the remarkable conclusion that people in the United States are linked to all other people in the country through chains of relationships that are, on average, only six links long
How does social structure influence how many people someone is effectively connected to and the number of links that may be necessary to establish a network contact?
What will be an ideal response
A person's education would influence the kind of job they held. The kind of job they held would, in turn, influence how much they traveled, the variety of other people they would meet, under what conditions, and the frequency of their contacts. Income would also influence the extent a person traveled and met others in non-business situations. People with less income and education have less opportunity to travel and meet people, and would therefore have a smaller social network.
