May I suggest the term "homophily." See http://www.casos.ece.cmu.edu/casos_working_paper/asa3g2.pdf,
or any of the other many documents your search engine will find if you search
for the word "homophily." Don't confuse "homophily" with
"homophilia."

[I am writing a paper and want to refer to the latter, but not the former]. The dictionaries in my office are of no help. Any help will be appreciated!
