Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-redundant contacts refer to people who do not have connections to each other, but who are connected to the individual in question. Such contacts enable individuals to bridge structural holes, which are gaps between different clusters in a social network. This can offer access to novel information and resources that might not be available otherwise. Non-redundant contacts, therefore, are not limited to standardized operations and can offer unique benefits that cannot be derived from contacts within the same cluster.
