Social Capital Capacity:
Three summary indexes may be computed from the respondent’s access to individuals with
these occupations.
1. Range - the difference between the highest and lowest score.
2. Extensity – the total number of positions the respondent could access
3. Upper reachability – the highest SIOPS score of accessed positions
Perform factor analysis (principal component and varimax rotation) on the results. Produce a
factor score for each respondent. Males and females should be scored separately.
