Toward a Structural Theory of Action: Network Models of Social
Structure, Perception, and Action centers on the concept of social
structure, perceptions, and actions, as well as the strategies through
which these concepts guide empirical research. This book also proposes
a model of status/role-sets as patterns of relationships defining
positions in the social topology. This text consists of nine chapters
separated into three parts. Chapter 1 introduces the goals and
organization of the book. Chapters 2-4 provide analytical synopsis of
available network models of social differentiation, and then use these
models in describing actual stratification. Chapter 5 presents a model
in which actor interests are captured. Subsequent chapter assesses the
empirical adequacy of the two predictions described in this book.
Then, other chapters provide a network model of constraint and its
empirical adequacy. This book will be valuable to anthropologists,
economists, political scientists, and psychologists.
