Abstract

Individuals are more likely to interact with people who are similar in terms of socio-demographics and values than dissimilar people, which is often explained by a focus on selection effects. Yet, tie loss of dissimilar ties might also cause network homogeneity. Unfortunately, within the literature, there is a relative dearth of knowledge on the relationship between (dis)similarity and tie loss. Hence, we address this gap by theorizing and testing the relation between (dis)similarity and tie loss in the core discussion network (CDN) of Dutch citizens, also considering how ties are embedded in the CDN.

在核心讨论网络中，年龄、性别、种族和教育程度的相似性和差异性是领带丢失的解释因素

与不同的人相比，个人更有可能与在社会人口统计和价值观方面相似的人互动，这通常可以通过关注选择效应来解释。然而，不同联系的联系丢失也可能导致网络同质化。不幸的是，在文献中，关于（不）相似性和平局丢失之间的关系的知识相对匮乏。因此，我们通过理论化和测试荷兰公民核心讨论网络（CDN）中的（dis）相似性和平局丢失之间的关系来解决这一差距，同时考虑到平局是如何嵌入CDN的。

期刊介绍： Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
