Homophily (i.e., “love of the same”) is the tendency of individuals to associate and bond with similar others.
Status homophily means that individuals with similar social status characteristics are more likely to associate with each other than by chance.
By contrast, value homophily refers to a tendency to associate with others who think in similar ways, regardless of differences in status.
