摘要

在本文中，我们对大规模在线社交网络用户的意见动态进行了实证研究。我们根据用户对信息源的订阅量来估计用户的意见，并分析友谊关系如何影响这些估计的动态。区分积极(倾向于朋友的意见)和消极(远离朋友的意见)的意见转移，我们发现这两种类型的转移的存在和大小与用户和他们的朋友之间的意见距离呈正相关(主要通过线性或倒u形形式)。距离还调节了积极和消极运动之间的平衡:如果距离在一定的适度范围内，则出现积极转变的可能性相对较高。

Opinion dynamics of online social network users: a micro-level analysis

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present an empirical study of the opinion dynamics of a large-scale sample of online social network users. We estimate users’ opinions as continuous scalars based on their subscriptions to information sources and analyze how friendship connections affect the dynamics of these estimations. Distinguishing between positive (toward friends’ opinions) and negative (away from friends’ opinions) opinion shifts, we find that the existence and magnitude of both types of shifts are positively related (largely through linear or inverted U-shaped form) to the distance in opinions between a user and their friends. The distance additionally moderates the balance between positive and negative movements: if the distance is within a certain moderate range, there is a relatively high chance of a positive shift.

期刊介绍： The goal of the Journal of Mathematical Sociology is to publish models and mathematical techniques that would likely be useful to professional sociologists. The Journal also welcomes papers of mutual interest to social scientists and other social and behavioral scientists, as well as papers by non-social scientists that may encourage fruitful connections between sociology and other disciplines. Reviews of new or developing areas of mathematics and mathematical modeling that may have significant applications in sociology will also be considered. The Journal of Mathematical Sociology is published in association with the International Network for Social Network Analysis, the Japanese Association for Mathematical Sociology, the Mathematical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association, and the Methodology Section of the American Sociological Association.
