What type of sociological research focuses on the processes that connect people within and between groups?

Structural-functionalist
Qualitative
Network
Quantitative

The correct answer is: Network

Network research is a type of sociological research that examines the connections between individuals within a group or between different groups. This research focuses on the patterns of relationships and interactions that form within and between groups. The other options are incorrect because structural-functionalist research primarily looks at the functions and roles individuals play in society, while qualitative research focuses on the subjective experiences and meanings behind social phenomena. Quantitative research, on the other hand, uses numerical data to study social phenomena, and does not necessarily focus on the connections between individuals.
