Students' motivation is highly influenced by social interactions. One of the most important social interactions at school is the relationships of students with their peers. Therefore, this study explores whether there is homophily among peer group members in terms of their motivation in two middle schools in a large city in Turkey. Motivation was examined through expectancy-related beliefs, intrinsic value, and utility value within the framework of the Situated Expectancy-Value Theory. The Socio-Cognitive Mapping method was used to identify peer groups based on their interaction profiles. According to the study results, there is homophily among peer group members in terms of academic motivation. However, when the groups were analyzed by gender, the girl groups were found to be more homogeneous than boy groups in terms of intrinsic and utility value. In boys groups, there is no homophily in terms of utility value
