Smaldino suggests that patterns that give rise to group-level cultural traits can also increase individual-level cultural diversity. I distinguish social roles and related social network structures and discuss ways in which each might maintain diversity. I suggest that cognitive analogs of "cohesion," a property of networks that helps maintenance of diversity, might mediate the effects of social roles on diversity.
斯莫尔迪诺认为，产生群体层面文化特征的模式也可以增加个体层面的文化多样性。我区分了社会角色和相关的社会网络结构，并讨论了每种角色维持多样性的方式。我认为，“凝聚力”的认知类似物——一种有助于多样性维持的网络属性——可能会在社会角色对多样性的影响中起到中介作用。
