The age and gender composition of the BASE participants' social network was assessed with a modified version of the Social Networks in Adult Life Questionnaire (Kahn, & Antonucci, 1980). Participants were asked to give the following details about each network partner mentioned: Gender, type of relationship, age, place of residence, duration of relationship, frequency of contact and changes in the relationship within the last five years.
Participants were asked to give the same information about persons who (a) emotionally or instrumentally support them; (b) receive support from participants and (c) share leisure activities with them.
Information about the age composition of the network as well as the age composition in terms of different types of relationships is only available for Time 1.
