Inbreeding homophily is a prevalent feature of human social networks withimportant individual and group-level social, economic, and health consequences.The literature has proposed an overwhelming number of dimensions along whichhuman relationships might sort, without proposing a unifiedempirically-grounded framework for their categorization. We exploit rich dataon a sample of University freshmen with very similar characteristic - age, raceand education- and contrast the relative importance of observable vs.unobservables characteristics in their friendship formation. We employ BayesianModel Averaging, a methodology explicitly designed to target model uncertaintyand to assess the robustness of each candidate attribute while predictingfriendships. We show that, while observable features such as assignment ofstudents to sections, gender, and smoking are robust key determinants ofwhether two individuals befriend each other, unobservable attributes, such aspersonality, cognitive abilities, economic preferences, or socio-economicaspects, are largely sensible to the model specification, and are not importantpredictors of friendships.
