In this paper, we focus on the relationship between social stratification and social networks, using Social Stratification and Social Mobility survey data of the year 1995. There are two aspects of network characteristics. One is influence network, which means one's network contains high status associates. Another is network diversity, which means one's network contains alters of variety of social status. Using these two aspects of network characteristics, first, we focus on the well-known positive relationships between social stratification and social networks. Using representative data, regression analysis shows that age, education and family income have significant positive effect on influence network and network diversity. Second, we hypothesized that status inconsistency is significantly important, by crossing class boundary. Multi-regression analysis shows status inconsistency has significant positive effect on network diversity. Third, we hypothesized that social mobility have important effect on network characteristics, by inheritance of parents' social resource. Multi-regression analysis shows that controlling one's own social stratification, parent's social stratification has significant positive effect on influence network. These findings clarified that social stratification is significantly important to network characteristics in many ways.
