“…For their study on the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Ben-Ur and Newman ( 2002) found that voter intention was related to the social imagery of the candidate and political party, political issues, candidate personality/morality, and party traits/morality. A candidate's competence and attitude homophily (with voters) were also found to affect voters' selection of a candidate (Allen & Post, 2004).…”

Chinese voters are already allowed to elect their leaders directly at the village level, although such free elections at higher levels (township, county, city, province, and nationwide) are still technically illegal. Based on a national survey conducted by a leading research firm in China, this study examines how people’s demographic characteristics (age, income, and education) and their attitudes (beliefs and evaluations) toward their local administrators (city mayors or county governors) could help predict their voting intentions in the event a free and direct election would take place in the future. An understanding of Chinese voters’ decision-making processes is critical for predicting the effects of the current electoral system on China’s sociopolitical development. The lessons learned during this predemocratic stage may be crucial for a transition of China’s political system in the future.

“…Studies reveal that journalists consider officials from their home countries to be more credible and newsworthy than officials from foreign countries (Yoon, 2005). Interestingly enough, studies in interpersonal communication have pointed to the exact same relationship between perceived homophily (i.e., similarity that a receiver perceives to exist between him and an information source) and source credibility (e.g., Allen and Post, 2004; McCroskey et al., 1975, 2006).…”

This study takes a theoretical approach of gatekeeping by assessing how transnational networks of news gathering indicate a shift in the conceptualization of journalism culture. Research on journalism culture, which has traditionally been conceptualized within a national system, is linked with the historical development of globalization to propose an analytical conceptualization of journalism culture in a transnational news-gathering environment. Based on empirical studies from the past six decades, the study presents three analytical levels of transnational journalism culture—evaluative, cognitive, and performative—that might provide a conceptual framework for empirical studies interested in news construction in a transnational space.

“…. Homophily also forms based on chosen groups from which one extracts a sense of self-esteem and nests one's self-concept, such as religion (McPherson et al, 2001), sports fandom (Phua, 2012), political orientation (Alford et al, 2011;Allen & Post, 2004;Huber & Malhotra, 2017), and gender identity (Mehta et al, 2017). Furthermore, homophily with groups that one achieves identification with is potentially established due to (but not limited to): educational attainment (Skopek et al, 2011) and prestige among university faculty (Evans et al, 2011), fitness and weight loss (Crosnoe et al, 2008;Robinson, 2016), and grouping with similarly high achieving players in massive multiplayer online role-playing games (Utz & Jankowski, 2015).…”

This study focuses on the formation of bullied individuals’ friendships and romantic relationships. Individuals bullied in their past may be more likely to form connections with those who share similar oppressive experiences. Thus, we investigated the possibility that implicit homophily underlies the formation of interpersonal relationships amongst previously bullied individuals. Moreover, we investigated whether these individuals were aware of their friends’ and romantic partners’ similarly oppressive experiences prior to initiating the relationship. Our findings suggest that the young adults in our sample bullied in grade school are significantly more likely to have a close friend and or significant other who also experienced bullying. The findings of this study contribute to the relatively small, yet growing, body of research on implicit homophily, add to research extending homophily processes to bullies and victims, and are in line with research suggesting that deselection (a form of induced homophily) can coexist with homophily by personal preference.
