要理解同伴群体的同质性，就需要确定同伴群体，并考虑影响和选择过程。 然而，很少有研究确定了青少年的同龄群体，或者研究了他们是如何变得同质的。 本研究采用社会网络分析，以确定同龄人群体（集团），集团联络，并在5所学校的青少年在2个数据收集轮（N = 926）隔离。 吸烟是感兴趣的行为。 影响和选择对同伴群体吸烟同质性的贡献大致相等。 然而，大多数吸烟者并不是同龄群体的成员，选择更多地解释了为什么吸烟是孤立的。 结果表明，在同龄群体影响和选择研究中使用社交网络分析的重要性。
Understanding the homogeneity of peer groups requires identification of peer groups and consideration of influence and selection processes. Few studies have identified adolescent peer groups, however, or examined how they become homogeneous. This study used social network analysis to identify peer groups (cliques), clique liaisons, and isolates among adolescents in 5 schools at 2 data collection rounds (N = 926). Cigarette smoking was the behavior of interest. Influence and selection contributed about equally to peer group smoking homogeneity. Most smokers were not peer group members, however, and selection provided more of an explanation than influence for why isolates smoke. The results suggest the importance of using social network analysis in studies of peer group influence and selection.
