Statistical tests are based on two-way ANOVA with cohort sample as a crossed factor. There is a significant interaction effect (p<.05) for Prop. same race (.61 vs. .71 for the young; .78 vs. .77 for the older respondents).

The “exchange multiplexity” of each alter is the number of active name-eliciting questions (social to difficult) the alter was nominated to. The mean here is the average of those alter scores for each respondent.

The “role multiplexity” of each alter is the number of different kinds of relationships (e.g., sibling, coworker, friend) ego reported having with that person. The mean here is the average of those alter scores for each respondent
