This theory was first put forward by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Kalinti in her short story Chains in 1929. 1967, American sociologist Stanley milgram designed a new method to test this theory, which he called "small world phenomenon". He randomly selected a group of volunteers from the Midwest and asked them to mail the package to a complete stranger in Massachusetts. The sender knows the name, occupation and approximate location of the receiver. According to the instructions, they first send the package to a person in the circle of friends who is most likely to know the target by name, and then that person will continue, and the next person will continue until the package finally reaches the target recipient. Although participants expected that there would be at least hundreds of middlemen in this chain, only 5-7 middlemen finally delivered the package successfully. Milgram's discovery was published in Psychology Today, which led to the emergence of the "six-degree connection" theory. Feel at home. The most professional business network in China applies the theory of six degrees of contacts to social practice, providing an ideal way for business people to make friends.
The six-degree network theory is based on knowing friends of friends and expanding one's network. And expand your network infinitely. When the other party needs it, you can always get help from this network.
In the actual social practice, the network expanded by the six-degree network theory supplies demand to each other in all fields and corners of society. Such as: healthy business dating activities; Contacts transfer job hunting and recruitment information to each other; Become business partners with each other; Provide business opportunities and so on.
