Contemporary trends in social behavior expose individuals to a wide array of possible involvements, ranging from traditional family, neighborhood and friendship ties to community, interest-based, and virtual domains. Communication and transportation technology permits access to geographically dispersed social involvements and virtual domains and allows individuals to forge personal network communities that maximize well-being. However research is still inconclusive about the nature of individuals' personal networks and what characteristics and experiences in personal networks optimize psychological well-being. Whereas sociological research traditionally measures structural characteristics of social involvements but not their subjective qualities, psychological research deeply examines close relationships and their mechanisms but does not consider the full spectrum of involvements within a personal network. The current dissertation study conducted an ecological analysis of the diverse social domains encompassing personal networks, examining both the structure of personal networks and the subjective value and experiences within these domains, and their associated states of psychological well-being. This study also considered how individual-level variables of gender, ethnicity and sensation seeking influenced the size and direction of these relationships. Participants were 1002 undergraduate students who completed survey measures assessing involvement in diverse social domains, experiences within these domains and the relative importance of the domains to their personal and social identity. Participants also completed measures assessing sensation seeking and outcomes of depression and stress. Results showed that individuals maintained traditional strong ties of family and friends, but also benefited from integration into certain weak-tie domains in university life, especially fraternities and sororities. Individuals also benefited from social support from virtual domains, though those virtual domains that extended place-based relationships were more supportive yet also more predictive of distress. The balance of positive and negative experiences within domains helped illustrate the disproportionate influence of negative social interactions in predicting psychological distress. Gender, ethnicity and sensation seeking exerted important moderating effects on the relationship between personal network characteristics and psychological distress. Women reported the highest levels of social support. Among African Americans, social support was often associated with psychological distress. Overall, this research suggests that studying multiple domains of involvement yields greater information about which domains are most valuable for well-being as compared to earlier single-domain analyses.
