Violating Social Norms when Choosing Friends: How Rule-Breakers Affect Social Networks
Social networks rely on basic rules of conduct to yield functioning societies in both human and animal populations. As individuals follow established rules, their behavioral decisions shape the social network and give it structure. Using dynamic, self-organizing social network models we demonstrate that defying conventions in a social system can affect multiple levels of social and organization...
متن کاملChoosing Products in Social Networks
We study the consequences of adopting products by agents who form a social network. To this end we use the threshold model introduced in [2], in which the nodes influenced by their neighbours can adopt one out of several alternatives, and associate with each such social network a strategic game between the agents. The possibility of not choosing any product results in two special types of (pure...
متن کاملMeeting Strangers and Friends of Friends: How Random are Social Networks?
We present a dynamic model of network formation where nodes find other nodes with whom to form links in two ways: some are found uniformly at random, while others are found by searching locally through the current structure of the network (e.g., meeting friends of friends). This combination of meeting processes results in a spectrum of features exhibited by large social networks, including the ...
متن کاملHow Social Norms Promote Misleading Social Feedback and Inaccurate SelfAssessment
Self-assessments are often prone to error. Past research has identified cognitive and motivational biases that lead self-assessments astray. In the present paper, we discuss how behavior shaped by social norms leaves the negative information that people require for accurate self-assessments invisible. First, social norms lead people to suppress critical feedback in favor of more positive evalua...
متن کاملOn Finding Better Friends in Social Networks
We study the dynamics of a social network. Each node has to decide locally which other node it wants to befriend, i.e., to which other node it wants to create a connection in order to maximize its welfare, which is defined as the sum of the weights of incident edges. This allows us to model the cooperation between nodes where every node tries to do as well as possible. With the limitation that ...
