Social capital is a measure of social ties that people use as beneficial resources. As a researcher, you examine whether individuals with higher social capital have more people to "lean on" and therefore, tend to have greater life satisfaction. You use a social capital scale that ranges from 10 to 25 and a life satisfaction scale that ranges from 20 to 40.
