Homophily in Online Social Networks
We develop a parsimonious and tractable dynamic social network formation model in which agents interact in overlapping social groups. The model allows us to analyse network properties and homophily patterns simultaneously. We derive analytical expressions for the distributions of degree and, importantly, of homophily indices, using mean-field approximations. We test our model using a large data...
متن کاملHomophily explains perception biases in social networks
Individual’s perceptions about the prevalence of attributes in their social networks is commonly skewed by the limited information available to them. Filter bubbles – being exposed to other like-minded people – and majority illusion – overestimation of minorities in social networks – are two examples of how perception biases can manifest. In this paper, we show how homophily and disproportionat...

Does sharing moral values encourage people to connect and form communities? The importance of moral homophily (love of same) has been recognized by social scientists, but the types of moral similarities that drive this phenomenon are still unknown. In this talk, I will present a series of experiments (both large-scale, observational social-media analyses and behavioral lab experiments) that inv...
متن کاملVisibility of minorities in social networks
Homophily can put minority groups at a disadvantage by restricting their ability to establish links with people from a majority group. This can limit the overall visibility of minorities in the network. Building on a Barabási-Albert model variation with groups and homophily, we show how the visibility of minority groups in social networks is a function of (i) their relative group size and (ii) ...
متن کاملRuling out latent homophily in social networks
Despite recent high profile studies identifying counter-intuitive behaviors (e.g. obesity [3]) as being socially contagious, Shalizi and Thomas [12] have demonstrated that homophily on latent attributes is indistinguishable from influence. For sociologists to unequivocally identify influence effects in networks they must rule out the possibility of latent homophily as an explanation. This requi...
