“…Research has shown, for example, that contact between members of the minority and the majority can have beneficial effects on minorities’ sociocultural adaptation because it can reduce prejudice, decrease implicit and explicit racial bias, reduce discrimination, improve interactions between members of the two groups, and enhance minorities’ access to resources and information (e.g., Aberson, Shoemaker, & Tomolillo, 2004; Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). Furthermore, according to Esser’s (1980) theory on immigrants’ adaptation, interethnic contact is accompanied by social participation and is the basis for success in the labor market, vertical mobility, and desegregation. However, despite these positive effects of interethnic networks, minorities tend to have high levels of intraethnic ties in their social relations, a phenomenon that is also known as ethnic homophily.…”

“…The focus on females was chosen for several reasons. First, although employment can provide opportunities of contact with society members in general, and majority members in particular, and although it is seen as a milestone for societal adaptation (Esser, 1980), female minority members are less often employed than male minority members (De Jong & Madamba, 2001; Kogan, 2011). As a result, their adaptation to the majority society may often be more difficult than that of males and deserves more research.…”

Despite beneficial effects of minority members' contact with majority members, studies have repeatedly shown minorities' tendency of having predominantly intraethnic social contacts, a phenomenon called ethnic homophily. This study aimed at examining ethnic homophily among mothers belonging to minority groups in Germany and Israel. Mothers from four minority groups participated. Groups were defined by level of societal segregation (higher vs. lower residential and cultural segregation of minority groups within a given society) and cultural distance to the majority society (close vs. distant in terms of religion and value similarity with majority population). We expected group differences, with ethnic homophily being highest among minority mothers living in more segregated societies with a large cultural distance to the majority population and vice versa. We also expected within-group variation, with higher levels of homophily being reported by women who use the majority language less frequently, have lower orientations toward natives, have higher orientations toward their own minority, and perceive higher levels of discrimination. The total sample included 1,223 mothers (ethnic German diaspora repatriates and Turks in Germany, Russian Jewish diaspora migrants, and Arabs in Israel). We assessed homophily in strong and weak social network ties. Results revealed the highest homophily (for weak and strong ties) among Israeli Arab mothers and lowest among ethnic German diaspora repatriate mothers with the two other groups located in between the two. Use of majority language emerged as rather universal predictor related to both outcomes in all minority groups, whereas minority and majority orientations were outcome or group specific, respectively.
