Summary/Abstract: The article aims to characterize the ego-centric interpersonal networks of the adult Hungarian population in detail in the context of previous survey results, mainly based on data gathered in the framework of the Hungarian National Research Fund study Integrative and disintegrative processes in Hungarian society in 2015. The dimensions in focus are: partnership relations, core discussion networks, friendship and weak ties. The analysis is dominantly descriptive, most often we only refer to longitudinal changes and attempt their causal explanation in forthcoming publications. We create a relationship typology and along with its description through socio-demographic characteristics we present its links to other dimensions of social integration and quality of life.
