 t provide opportunities for interreligious friendships\, Muslim youth di
 sproportionally tend to be friends with Muslims rather than non-Muslims.
  Echoing broader debates about minorities’ self-segregation versus exclu
 sion by majority group members\, a key question is whether religious fri
 endship segregation arises because of Muslims’ in-group bias or because 
 of non-Muslims’ reluctance to befriend them. We suggest that the answer 
 differs for Muslim boys and girls. Building on past research\, we propos
 e that religious in-group bias is stronger for Muslim girls than for Mus
 lim boys. Conversely\, we expect non-Muslim youth to be more open to bef
 riend Muslim girls than Muslim boys. Applying stochastic actor-oriented 
 models of network dynamics to large-scale longitudinal data of friendshi
 p networks in German schools\, we find that Muslim girls indeed have a s
 trong in-group bias\, whereas non-Muslim youth are not reluctant to be f
 riends with them. Muslim boys\, by contrast\, have a much weaker in-grou
 p bias\, but non-Muslim youth are less willing to be friends with them r
 ather than with non-Muslims. A simulation analysis demonstrates that the
 se gendered individual-level processes result in comparable aggregate pa
 tterns of friendship segregation among Muslim boys and girls.\n \nAbout 
 the speaker\n\nLars Leszczensky is a postdoctoral research fellow at the
  Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) at the University o
 f Mannheim. His research interests include intergroup relations\, friend
 ship formation\, collective identities\, and social network analysis. He
  is currently working on a project that seeks to improve our understandi
 ng of the mechanisms that drive the social–emotional integration of Musl
 im youth in Europe by combining insights from longitudinal social networ
 k analysis\, group discussions\, and survey experiments.\n
