Homophily-Heterophily: Relational Concepts for Communication Research
Abstract
The authors urge research attention to a neglected aspect of communication —namely, the relationship between source and receiver. In the present article, they advance a number of propositions about the effects on communication of similarity or difference between a communicator and the recipient of his message, summarize research bearing on these propositions, and point to needs for further investigation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
