Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The contribution of social capital or social connections with friends for accessing resources to achievement such as reaching goals in life among people is unclear. This is possible because the contribution depends on different combinations of social capital components. One possibility is combining both the structural and functional components of social capital multiplicatively generates an additional contribution because of their complementary. To clarify the contribution, a survey of 704 Chinese adults in Hong Kong provides data for analysis. Specifically, confirmatory factor analysis ensured the validity of measures for regression analysis to test the theses. Results support the complementarity view rather than the competition view, as the combination of social capital components derived from friends contributed to life achievement. Results thus imply the benefit of integrating resources from various components of social capital to advance achievement in adults. Accordingly, practices can capitalize on the complementarity of social capital components to optimize people’s life achievement.
