Abstract
Tie strength is fundamental to the examination of interpersonal forces (Solomon, 2013). Social ties enable collaborative creation and sharing of ideas, which provides diverse communication power (Granovetter, 1973). In this study, the researcher assumed that: strong ties and weak ties are positive in the effective socialization process regarding political topics in Egypt. This study was considered conclusive research, with a cross-sectional design and a descriptive purpose. Each of the variables was measured using a 5-point Likert scale. 384 questionnaires were used in this study. The SPSS analysis showed that the hypotheses were supported. Both strong and weak interpersonal relations were able to impact significantly the socialization process. Though, strong ties had a more statistically significance than weak ties. This study contributes on the theoretical level by adding to the field of political socialization and social influence in the Middle East context and by demonstrating the validity of the scales of in the Egyptian context. It contributes on the practical level by defining the impact of interpersonal ties during social dealings.
