Oxford Houses (OHs) are a large network of self-run community-based settings for individuals with substance use disorders. This present study explored a model based on conceptualizing recovery home social systems as dynamic multirelational (multiplex) social networks. The model is developed from data obtained from 42 OH recovery homes in three parts of the US, addressing whole networks of friendship, close friendship, and willingness to loan money. Findings indicated that close friend and loan relationships mutually reinforced each other over time as they coevolved. These types of insights can help community psychologists to better understand complex network dynamics in community-based settings.
牛津屋(OHs)是一个由自我管理的社区为基础的大型网络,为有物质使用障碍的个体提供服务。本研究探索了一种基于将康复家庭社会系统概念化为动态多关系(多重)社会网络的模型。该模型是根据从美国三个地区的 42 个康复家庭获得的数据开发的,涉及友谊、亲密友谊和愿意贷款的整个网络。研究结果表明,随着时间的推移,亲密友谊和贷款关系相互促进,共同演变。这些类型的见解可以帮助社区心理学家更好地理解社区环境中复杂的网络动态。
