友谊通过直接关系、社会地位和复杂的网络结构影响个人和组织的幸福感。在这项研究中，作者使用了两组工商管理硕士学生的纵向数据，以增加对友谊网络如何发展的理解。作者提出并检验了一个动态模型，即属性相似促进二元友谊关系，以及相似的网络中心性和社会地位；早期友谊在结构位置和中心地位上增加后来的相似性；早期结构相似提高未来友谊的可能性。研究结果在很大程度上支持了这一模型，展示了同性关系和早期社交如何共同塑造成熟的友谊网络。
Friendship affects individual and organizational well-being through direct relations, social positions, and complex network structures. In this study, the authors use longitudinal data from 2 groups of master's of business administration students to increase understanding of how friendship networks develop. The authors propose and test a dynamic model in which attribute similarity facilitates dyadic friendship ties, as well as similar network centrality and social position; early friendship increases later similarity in structural position and centrality; and early structural similarity enhances the likelihood of future friendship. Findings largely supported the model, demonstrating how homophily and early social contacts can jointly shape maturing friendship networks.
