Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of research into social capital both in its normative form and from the point of view of interpersonal networks. We investigate the association of the cooperation expressed by individuals with regularity of contact in the informal and formal relationships in which they are involved. The aim of the article is to test the hypothesis that well developed social networks are associated with higher levels of cooperation, as well as the hypothesis that social relationships based on bonding capital are associated with lower levels of cooperation than social relationships based on bridging capital. These results come from questionnaires and experimental games carried out on a sample of 1540 individuals.
