- 1980), this study examined the differential impact of relocation, depending on the distance moved, on the size of 3 types of role networks
- This study is based on data collected in the context of the ‘‘Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam,’’ a program conducted at VU University Amsterdam and largely funded by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports
- We study whether older adults succeed in rebuilding their social network and address the extent to which new relationships take the place of the lost old ones
- The change in the neighbor network was largest for long-distance movers; the number of new relationships was considerably larger than the number of losses
- We expected the most losses in the neighbor network and the fewest in the coworker network
- Even though neighbor networks contract in anticipation of moving, older adults generally develop new relationships near their new residence without any help
