The text makes a distinction between the size and quality of a person's social network. While size refers to the number of people in the network, quality refers to the closeness and meaningfulness of the relationships within the network. This distinction is important as it highlights that simply having a large social network does not necessarily equate to having adequate social support. Rather, the quality of the relationships within the network are also important in determining the level of social support a person receives.
