Segregation in extended social networks:
The benefits and disadvantages of using the Network Scale-Up Method in research


Miranda Jessica Lubbers
Autonomous University of Barcelona


Abstract:
With the increasing inequality, diversity and polarization in many countries, concerns about social cohesion are growing. In this presentation, I question what knowledge we can gain about social segregation by investigating the homogeneity of the broader acquaintanceship networks of the population with the Network Scale-Up Method (NSUM). Specifically, I present an application that studies whether Spaniards were differentially exposed to social groups that experienced economic distress (e.g., unemployment, eviction, labor migration) as well as advantaged social groups through their broader acquaintanceship networks during the economic crisis, and if so, whether their network exposure to distress was associated with their institutional trust, a subjective measure of social cohesion. For this application, we designed a survey with a Network Scale-Up Method module that was administered to a nationally representative sample (N~2,500) in Spain. Results suggest that not only core networks, but also broad acquaintanceships networks are structured by homophily in age, income, and education, as well as by associational memberships, leading to differential exposure to the social groups that experienced economic hardship. Higher exposure to economic distress was negatively related to institutional trust, even after controlling for the individual socio-economic situation. I will discuss the implications of these results as well as the benefits, disadvantages, and possible extensions of the NSUM method for further research into social segregation.
