  • Social mobility and class segregation in personal networks over time

    Open AccessGabriel Otero, Alejandro Plaza et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2026

    This study examines how class-based network homogeneity evolves over time and whether intragenerational social mobility reshapes personal network composition in Chile. Drawing on four waves of longitudinal data from the Chilean Longitudinal Social Survey (ELSOC, 2016–2023), we assess the extent to which class stability and different forms of social mobility—conjunctural, structural, and cumulative—influence the degree of class homogeneity in pers…

  • When do acquaintance networks grow? Life events, civic participation, and social dynamics

    Open AccessBeatriz Muñoz, Alejandro Plaza et al.ARTICLESocial Networks2026

    This study examines how personal networks respond to two contrasting forms of social experiences: disruptive life events and participation in civic organizations. We theorize that acquaintance networks operate as semi-stable systems, buffering short-term shocks but expanding durably through structured, repeated exposure in organizational settings. Using two waves of nationally representative panel data from Chile, we measure the network size with…

  • A longitudinal examination of the factors that facilitate and hinder support for conservative and progressive social movements

    Open AccessRoberto González, Maria Chayinska et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2022Cited by: 3References: 88

    This paper examines social‐psychological factors that can facilitate and hinder public support for conservative agendas over time. Using four waves of longitudinal panel data from Chile ( N = 2,394), we estimated the between‐person and within‐person associations among individuals’ self‐reported conservative ideologies, political disaffection, civic behaviour, political attitudes towards democracy and social change, and their support for conservat…

  • Pautas de homofilia en Chile

    Open AccessMatías Andrés Bargsted Valdés, Veronica Espinoza et al.ARTICLEPapers Revista de Sociologia2020Cited by: 1References: 41

    El presente artículo caracteriza los niveles de homofilia en Chile, es decir, la tendencia a que las relaciones sociales vinculen a personas socialmente similares. El estudio de esta propensión social permite comprender las bases de la cohesión y el conflicto en la sociedad actual. De una parte, la homofilia puede promover la integración social de personas en grupos sociales, pero, de la otra, puede favorecer relaciones cerradas y, con ello, la r…
