That obligations arise from both social exchanges and social roles is well established in sociology. Less appreciated is the fundamental and dichotomous nature of exchange obligation and role obligation. In the absence of an understanding of the distinction between them exchange and role obligations may be confused, as when Mauss believes the obligations he discusses come from social exchange when he in fact shows that they derive from the imperatives of social roles. Explicit awareness of the obligations associated with both social exchanges and roles can clarify and enhance ongoing research and research traditions, including social network analysis, as shown here. Discussion in the article of obligations of exchange and role affirms the unavoidability of social obligation in interactions and relationships. An irreducible distinction within the general category of obligation is also indicated.

社会义务的基础：交流与角色之间的区别及其后果

这种义务既产生于社会交往，又产生于社会角色，这在社会学上已经很成熟。交换义务和角色义务的基本和二分性没有得到充分的重视。在缺乏对它们之间的区别的理解的情况下，交换义务和角色义务可能会混淆，因为当Mauss认为他所讨论的义务来自社会交换时，他实际上证明了这些义务源于社会角色的必要性。明确认识到与社会交往和角色相关的义务，可以阐明和增强正在进行的研究和研究传统，包括社会网络分析，如此处所示。交换和作用义务一文中的讨论肯定了在交往和关系中社会义务的不可避免性。
