Outcome disparities often
linked to social disparities.
homophily: the tendency of
individuals to associate and bond with
similar others. The presence of
homophily has been discovered in a
vast array of network studies. More
than 100 studies have observed
homophily in some form or another
and establish that similarity breeds
connection. These include age,
gender, class, and organizational role.

discuss important matters with

the past six months, who are the
people with whom you
discussed matters important to

social network analysis
Consider the people you
communicate with in order to get
your work done. Of all the
people you have communicated
with during the last six months,
who has been the most
important for getting your work
done?
social network analysis
Consider an important project or
initiative that you are involved in.
Consider the people who would
be influential for getting it

resources you need. Who would
you talk to, to get the support
you need?
social network analysis
Who do you socialize with?
(spending time with people after
work hours, visiting one another
at home, going to social events,
out for meals and so on) Over
the last 6 months, who are the
main people with whom you
have socialized informally?
