What will be an ideal response?


Strength of ties between individuals can be determined by how often the parties interact, how long they have known each other, how close the personal relationship is with the other, how many different ways the two parties interact with each other, and how much reciprocity or mutuality there is in the relationship so that each contributes equally to the give and take. Stronger ties with another usually indicate greater power to have the other accede to requests.
