These findings address questions in social psychology:
📷 How multidimensional identities drive connection preferences?
📷 How these preferences impact inequality?
📷 What patterns emerge when identity attributes correlate?#SocialNetworks #Inequality #Intersectionality

In Paper 2, we show:
📷 Attribute correlations (e.g., gender & race) create unexpected inequalities unobservable in one-dimensional systems.
📷 Minority overlap leads to severe disadvantages in some cases.
📷 Our model accurately predicts inequalities in real-world networks.

But there's more! Multidimensional identities also impact social capital inequalities.

Highlights:
📷 Modeled how we combine identity info (e.g., gender, ethnicity) when choosing friends.
📷 Found that people are picky choosers and use the simplest strategy to integrate preferences.
📷 Identify quantitatively the most relevant dimensions in connection choices.

But if we belong to multiple groups?
