  Our paper aims to demonstrate that social structure has significant impact on the formation of
  interpersonal relations. We review and analyse the characteristics of ego-centric interpersonal
  networks of Hungarians based on data from nationally representative adult population surveys
  between the mid-1980’s up to 2015. We focus especially on core discussion networks, friendship
  ties and weak ties and analyse how the transition to market economy influenced interpersonal
  relationships. As expected, the large-scale social changes brought about by the transition
  changed interpersonal networks as well. During the first decade of the transition (in the 1990’s)
  one could not witness a significant change of personal networks, nonetheless the adaptation
  process was easier for people supported by strong, traditional family ties. Non-kin ties, especially
  friendships seem to gain significance at the expense of kin relationships. Overall, resources
  available through weak ties seem to be decreasing.

  Recently the investigations were focused rather the polarization, so the questions connected
  with the inner structure of the different strata got less interesting, The most important aim of
  our study to give an empirically founded picture about the heterogenity of the different strata,
  and paralelly about the conservation of „the big structure” of the society. The study was based on
  the survey of stratification carried out by The Hugarian Statistical Office, in 2016. Observations
  showed, that the revealing of the attributes of the heterogenity can be solved only by developing
  the different modells and schemes. The key question was, that by the modification of Andorka
  scheme could we gather more punctual informations about the formation of the inequality? Our
  results mirrored, that by the help of the revised schemes we could show bigger inequality, than
  with the originel ones.
