Scholars have widely recognised the importance of academic relationships between students at the university. While much of the past research has focused on studying their influence on different aspects such as the students’ academic performance or their emotional stability, less is known about their dynamics and the factors that influence the formation and dissolution of linkages between university students in academic networks. In this paper, we try to shed light on this issue by exploring through stochastic actor-oriented models and student-level data the influence that a set of proximity factors may have on formation of these relationships over the entire period in which students are enrolled at the university. Our findings confirm that the establishment of academic relationships is derived, in part, from a wide range of proximity dimensions of a social, personal, geographical, cultural and academic nature. Furthermore, and unlike previous studies, this research also empirically confirms that the specific stage in which the student is at the university determines the influence of these proximity factors on the dynamics of academic relationships. In this regard, beyond cultural and geographic proximities that only influence the first years at the university, students shape their relationships as they progress in their studies from similarities in more strategic aspects such as academic and personal closeness. These results may have significant implications for both academic research and university policies.

学者们已经广泛认识到大学学生之间学术关系的重要性。虽然过去的大部分研究都集中在研究他们对学生学业成绩或情绪稳定性等不同方面的影响，但对他们的动态以及影响大学生在学术网络中联系的形成和消散的因素知之甚少. 在本文中，我们试图通过随机的面向参与者的模型和学生级别的数据来探索在整个学生就读期间，一组邻近因素可能对这些关系形成的影响，从而阐明这个问题。大学。我们的研究结果证实，学术关系的建立部分源于，从广泛的社会、个人、地理、文化和学术性质的接近维度。此外，与以往的研究不同，本研究还通过经验证实，学生在大学的具体阶段决定了这些邻近因素对学术关系动态的影响。在这方面，除了仅影响大学第一年的文化和地理接近性之外，学生在学习过程中从学术和个人亲近等更具战略意义的相似之处塑造他们的关系。这些结果可能对学术研究和大学政策都有重大影响。这项研究还从经验上证实，学生在大学的具体阶段决定了这些邻近因素对学术关系动态的影响。在这方面，除了仅影响大学第一年的文化和地理接近性之外，学生在学习过程中从学术和个人亲近等更具战略意义的相似之处塑造他们的关系。这些结果可能对学术研究和大学政策都有重大影响。这项研究还从经验上证实，学生在大学的具体阶段决定了这些邻近因素对学术关系动态的影响。在这方面，除了仅影响大学第一年的文化和地理接近性之外，学生在学习过程中从学术和个人亲近等更具战略意义的相似之处塑造他们的关系。这些结果可能对学术研究和大学政策都有重大影响。学生在学习过程中从学术和个人亲密等更具战略性的方面的相似之处塑造他们的关系。这些结果可能对学术研究和大学政策都有重大影响。学生在学习过程中从学术和个人亲密等更具战略性的方面的相似之处塑造他们的关系。这些结果可能对学术研究和大学政策都有重大影响。
