The Two Components ofSocial Capital
Bonding• Connections among
individuals and groups with similar backgrounds
• May be based on class, ethnicity, kinship, gender, interests, etc.
• Members know one another in multiple settings
• Ties are often emotionally-based
Bridging• Connects diverse groups
within the community to one another and to groups outside the community
• These ties are usually single purpose
• Fosters diversity of ideas and brings a variety of people and/or groups together
