Abstract
We address two questions central to the "network as resources" argument, using network data from two mass surveys. First, how is range best measured? We identify six dimensions of range: one each reflecting network size and complexity, and two each representing density and diversity. Second, what is the nature of the relationship between SES and social resources? Evidence here supports the proposition that network range and composition are positively related to an actor's socioeconomic status.

An argument for obtaining network data in the General Social Survey (GSS) requires a discussion of how and why at least minimal network data ought to be obtained in a probability sample survey of attitudes and behaviors.

What people say about their communications bears no resemblance to their behavior and suggests that other forms of data gathering, based on questions which require that informants recall their behavior, may well be suspect.
