Gender homophily from spatial behavior in a primary school: A sociometric study.

Highlights: [•] We investigate gender homophily in the spatial behavior of school children. [•] We use behavioral data on face-to-face proximity measured by means of wearable sensors. [•] Strong ties provide evidence for gender homophily, which is slightly stronger for boys. [•] For strong ties, gender homophily increases with age. [•] For weak ties, gender homophily decreases with age for girls, while it increases for boys. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
