Figure 1.

Panels (a) and (b) depict networks of two individual participants (P) whose normalized brokerage among their six listed friends (F1–F6) is respectively low (0.23) or high (0.80). For example, the F3–F4 connection is brokered by the participant in panel (b) but not in panel (a), where these friends are connected directly. Panels (c) and (d) depict these participants’ reported willingness to personally befriend a feminine-stereotypic target (T), establishing a P-to-T tie and/or integrating her into their network by introducing her to specific friends, creating T-to-F ties.
