Abstract
- The distribution and structural determinants of power are central concerns of network exchange theory. In this paper, using formulations from elementary theory, we present an exhaustive typology of network connections: exclusion, inclusion and null. This typology is compared to the typology of positive and negative connection of power-dependence theory. Inclusion which has not been previously recognized is investigated. Experimental results supportive of our formulations for inclusion are offered. Some implications of the formulations for inclusion outside the laboratory are discussed. Also discussed is the possibility of using exclusion and inclusion as opposed principles in the analysis of empirical structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
