论文摘要
在这项研究中,我们将用户的在线沟通节奏(在线社交节奏)视为复杂的社交网络中的振荡器。用户的节奏可能被夹在朋友的节奏上,并且会出现这种节奏的宏观尺度模式。我们使用头像通信数据集研究了在线社交节奏和节奏的远程相关性的夹带。我们指出,如果新联系的实力达到阈值,则夹带在线社交节奏中。这种夹带通过密集连接的簇扩散。因此,尽管离线社交生活自然限制了在线社交节奏,但在线社交节奏的远程相关性扩展到了36%的网络。这项研究支持对人类社会动态的理解,从耦合振荡器的系统方面。
In this study, we consider users' online communication rhythms (online social rhythms) as coupled oscillators in a complex social network. Users' rhythms may be entrained onto those of their friends, and macro-scale pattern of such rhythms can emerge. We investigated the entrainment in online social rhythms and long-range correlations of the rhythms using an avatar communication dataset. We indicated entrainment in online social rhythms to emerge if the strength of a new connection reaches a threshold. This entrainment spread via densely-connected clusters. Consequently, long-range correlations of online social rhythms extended to about 36% of the network, although offline social life naturally restricts online social rhythms. This research supports an understanding of human social dynamics in terms of systems of coupled oscillators.
