摘要

本文研究了性别、年龄和教育程度差异对友谊网络同质性的影响。在人的一生中，个体的需求和同类的结构性供给都会发生变化。这应该反映在个人网络中友谊关系的构成上。丰富的网络面板数据涵盖了19年的时间(荷兰社会调查，SSND)。结果表明，随着人们年龄的增长，友谊中的性别和教育同质性增加，而年龄同质性保持不变。值得注意的是，友谊作为一种关系类别在一个人的一生中仍然很重要，只有少数受访者表示他们没有朋友。

'Birds of a feather' - forever? Homogeneity in adult friendship networks through the life course

This paper studies the changes in the homogeneity of friendship networks in terms of gender, age, and educational diversity. It is argued that through the life course, both an individual’s demand and the structural supply of similar others change. This should be reflected in the composition of friendship relations in personal networks. Rich network panel data that cover a period of 19 years are employed (The Social Survey of the Dutch, SSND). Results show that gender and educational homogeneity in friendships increases when people age, while age homogeneity remains unchanged. Notably, friendship as a relational category remains important throughout a person’s life and only few respondents report that they have no friends.
