Overview of the expected linkage among and between family members and non-family members

	Family	Non-family
Familya	Fosters contact (especially within nuclear family)	Restricts contact (especially from partner and child to friends)
Non-family	Restricts contact (especially from friends to partner and child)	No specific effect (besides being possibly self a contact)

^aEffects of family are expected to be stronger when they are actively involved in people’s personal network instead of when people have them and they may be merely be passively present
