TODD, Nathan R.; HOUSTON, Jaclyn D. e SUFFRIN, Rachael L.. Applying affiliation social network analysis to understand interfaith groups. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.3, pp.147-154. ISSN 2173-4712. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.psi.2015.07.007.
This study applies affiliation social network analysis to understand how interfaith groups provide resources to other community groups and link interfaith group members to resources for local community change. Based on a sample of 88 interfaith groups from across the U.S., affiliation social network analysis pictures show distinct patterns in how interfaith groups share resources with community groups and link members to community resources. Overall, results show how interfaith groups may be empowering community settings that provide resources and link members to other resources in the interest of community change. These findings imply that interfaith groups may be part of the social fabric within communities that hold potential to be partners and contributors of resources to promote community change efforts. Limitations and directions for future research also are discussed.
