Political Social Networks Questions
Network closure in political social networks refers to the tendency of individuals within a network to form connections primarily with others who are already connected to them. It is the idea that people tend to associate and interact with others who share similar political beliefs, ideologies, or affiliations. This concept suggests that political social networks often exhibit a high degree of homogeneity, where individuals within the network have similar political views and reinforce each other's beliefs. Network closure can lead to the formation of echo chambers, where individuals are exposed to limited perspectives and are less likely to be exposed to diverse opinions or alternative viewpoints.
