    Ferligoj, Anuška ; Kogovšek, Tina ; Hlebec, Valentina
    Abstract. The paper presents an overview of several studies dealing with the quality of complete social support networks and ego-centered social support networks, collected by surveys. The most ... important findings of these studies for complete networks are: 1. The binary scale as a measure of tie strength isthe least reliable, and the five pont ordinal scale with labels the most reliable. 2. Free recall and recognition data collection yield equally reliable data. 3. Original and reciprocated questiones also yield equally reliable network data. In the case of ego-centered social support networks themost important results are: 1. The telephone mode gives more valid data than the face-to-face mode and also quite reliable network data. 2. The data collection by alters gives more reliable data than the data collection by questiones'. 3. Larger networks have lower validity than smaller ones. 4. The ties in the core network are measured more reliably and more validly than those in extended networks. 5, Some demographic ego's characteristics (gender,age) also affect social support network data quality.
