Merton & Lazarsfeld put a strong focus on the issue of homophiliy in friendship associations, you should have a look at this exciting paper Lazarsfeld, Paul/Merton, Robert K., 1954: Friendship as a social Process, in: Berger, Morroe/Abel, Theodore/Page, Charles H. (ed.), Freedom and Control in Modern Society. New York: Van Nostrand, 18–66. also consult Blau, Peter M., 1962: Patterns of Choice in Interpersonal Relations, in: American Sociological Review 27, 41–55. for statistical modelling those might be of interest Yamaguchi, Kazuo, 1990: Homophily and Social Distance in the Choice of Multiple Friends. An Analysis Based on Conditionally Symmetric Log-Bilinear Association Model, in: Journal of the American Statistical Association 85, 356–366. Signorile, Vito/O'Shea, Robert M., 1965: A Test of Significance for the Homophily Index, in: The American Journal of Sociology 70, 467–470. Verbrugge, Lois M., 1977: The Structure of Adult Friendship Choices, in: Social Forces 56, 576–597. best regards Jan ********************************************* Jan Skopek, Dipl.-Kfm.
