Spanish citizens know a median of 536 people each, although the number varies widely between individuals, from a few dozens up to almost 6,000. The research presented in this article shows that factors such as age, gender, education and income influence the number of acquaintances we have. Furthermore, having more acquaintances can help people receive types of support that we usually relate with our closest ties.

Meeting of the DANL Research Program, “Dynamics of Actors and Networks Across Levels” (6th-8th April 2010)
Preface
We now have various activities going on that are the basis for this meeting:
The DANL project as such, which now has ended in most of the participating groups;
the book project “Social Network Dynamics by Examples”;
the newly submitted ECRP-VI project “Social Influence in Dynamic Networks” (but two of the groups participating there, from Ljubljana and Turku, were not invited to this meeting because it seemed better to concentrate on the two activities mentioned above).
José Luis Molina (UAB) relexiona sobre el paper dels barris en les xarxes socials de la població que viu i treballa a Catalunya, amb especial atenció a la distribució geográfica dels contactes actius dels immigrants.
