Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emily's study confirmed that people shared information most willingly and rapidly within their own ethnic and language groups. This is consistent with the well-established sociological finding of homophily, which suggests that people tend to form connections with others who are similar to them in terms of race, ethnicity, language, and other demographic characteristics.
