摘要：The goals of this study were, first, to analyze the differences between women´s and men´s social networks with respect to social participation. Second, we aimed to analyze the extent to which social networks and different types of social ties have an influence on women´s and men´s intention to engage in different types of social participation. Through an on-line survey 263 undergraduate students currently not involved in any kind of social participation estimated probability of their future involvement in several types of social engagement. They also reported an approximate number of their relatives, friends, and acquaintances developing each type of participation. This latter information was used to calculate the degree of the centrality of the subjects in their social networks considering strong ties and weak ties. Analyses confirmed that women´s and men´s social networks differed. Also, only weak ties were significant predictor of the intention to participate in both cases, but there were differences by type of social participation and by gender. The influence of social ties was only significant if the type of social participation fitted gender role stereotype. We discuss our results in light of the focus norm approach and normative social influence.
