Type: preprint

Abstract: It the literature have been identified three social mechanisms explaining the similarity between people connected in the network of social relations homophily, confounding and social contagion. The article proposes a simple model for simulating mechanisms responsible for similarity of attitudes in networks of social relations; along with a measure that is able to indicate which of the three mechanisms has taken major role in the process.
