The term for this adolescent preference for those who share similar behaviors and attitudes is Homophily.

<h3>What is Homophily?</h3>

The propensity for people to connect and associate with those who are like them is known as homophily.
Homophily has been identified in a wide range of network research. Sociologists McPherson, Smith-Lovin, and Cook (2001) mention more than a hundred research that has documented homophily in one way or another in their thorough review work.
Age, gender, class, organizational role, and other factors fall within this category.
Researchers have made a distinction between baseline homophily and inbreeding homophily to assess the applicability of homophily.
The first merely represents the amount of homophily that would be anticipated by chance, while the second represents the amount of homophily that is above and beyond this anticipated value.
