Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 3.1.1 in the article are false. While Theorem 3.1 correctly states that κ N ð Þ � k, the reverse inequality is not necessarily true (a family of counterexamples can be produced to show this). It should be noted that these statements, while false, are nevertheless tangential to the main emphasis of the paper, which is that cohesion in two-mode networks should be studied without one-mode projections, and that this can be done using both what we call “two-sided” and “onesided” approaches. We have replaced Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 3.1.1 with the following new, correct theorems and accompanying text.
本文中的定理3.1和推论3.1.1为假。虽然定理3.1正确地陈述了κ N ð Þ ø k,但反向不等式不一定是正确的(可以产生一系列反例来证明这一点)。应该指出的是,这些陈述虽然是错误的,但与本文的主要重点无关,即双模网络中的内聚应该在没有单模预测的情况下进行研究,并且这可以使用我们称之为“双面”和“片面”的方法来完成。我们将定理3.1和推论3.1.1替换为以下新的、正确的定理和相应的文本。

Friend or Foe: A Review and Synthesis of Computational Models of the Identity Labeling Problem 朋友还是敌人:身份标记问题计算模型综述与综合

ABSTRACT We introduce the identity labeling problem – given an individual in a social situation, can we predict what identity(ies) they will be labeled with by someone else? This problem remains a theoretical gap and methodological challenge, evidenced by the fact that models of social-cognition often sidestep the issue by treating identities as already known. We build on insights from existing models to develop a new framework, entitled Latent Cognitive Social Spaces, that can incorporate multiple social cues including sentiment information, socio-demographic characteristics, and institutional associations to estimate the most culturally expected identity. We apply our model to data collected in two vignette experiments, finding that it predicts identity labeling choices of participants with a mean absolute error of 10.9%, a 100% improvement over previous models based on parallel constraint satisfaction and affect control theory.
我们引入身份标签问题——给定一个社会情境中的个体,我们能否预测其他人会给他贴上什么样的身份标签?这个问题仍然是一个理论缺口和方法论挑战,事实证明,社会认知模型经常通过将身份视为已知来回避这个问题。我们以现有模型的见解为基础,开发了一个名为“潜在认知社会空间”的新框架,该框架可以结合多种社会线索,包括情感信息、社会人口特征和制度关联,以估计最具文化预期的身份。我们将我们的模型应用于两个小图像实验中收集的数据,发现它预测参与者的身份标签选择的平均绝对误差为10.9%,比以前基于并行约束满足和影响控制理论的模型提高了100%。

A relative approach to opinion formation 形成意见的相对方法
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 MATHEMATICS, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2021-03-30 DOI: 10.1080/0022250x.2022.2036142

Formal models of opinion formation commonly represent an individual's opinion by a value on a fixed opinion interval. We propose an alternative modeling method wherein interpretation is only provided to the relative positions of opinions vis-`a-vis each other. This method is then considered in a similar setting as the discrete-time Altafini model (an extension of the well-known DeGroot model), but with more general influence weights. Even in a linear framework, the model can describe, in the long run, polarization, dynamics with a periodic pattern, and (modulus) consensus formation. In addition, in our alternative approach key characteristics of the opinion dynamic can be derived from real-valued square matrices of influence weights, which immediately allows one to transfer matrix theory insights to the field of opinion formation dynamics under more relaxed conditions than in the DeGroot or discrete-time Altafini models. A few specific themes are covered: (i) We demonstrate how stable patterns in relative opinion dynamics are identified which are hidden when opinions are considered in an absolute opinion framework. (ii) For the two-agent case, we provide an exhaustive closed-form description of the relative opinion model's dynamic in the long run. (iii) We explore group dynamics analytically, in particular providing a non-trivial condition under which a subgroup's asymptotic behavior carries over to the entire population.
意见形成的正式模型通常通过固定意见区间的值来表示个人意见。我们提出了一种替代的建模方法,其中解释仅提供给意见相对于彼此的相对位置。然后在与离散时间Altafini模型(著名的DeGroot模型的扩展)类似的设置中考虑该方法,但具有更一般的影响权重。即使在线性框架中,从长远来看,该模型也可以描述极化、周期性模式的动态和(模)共识形成。此外,在我们的替代方法中,意见动态的关键特征可以从影响权重的实值方阵中导出,这立即允许人们在更宽松的条件下将矩阵理论的见解转移到意见形成动态领域,而不是在DeGroot或离散时间Altafini模型中。涉及几个具体主题:(i)我们展示了如何确定相对意见动态中的稳定模式,这些模式在绝对意见框架中考虑意见时是隐藏的。(ii)对于双主体情况,我们提供了一个详尽的相对意见模型长期动态的封闭形式描述。(iii)我们分析地探讨了群体动力学,特别是提供了子群的渐近行为延续到整个群体的非平凡条件。

A measure of centrality based on a reciprocally perturbed Markov chainfor asymmetric relations 非对称关系中基于互摄动马尔可夫链的中心性度量
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 MATHEMATICS, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2021-02-27 DOI: 10.1080/0022250X.2021.1885402

ABSTRACT In digraphs representing asymmetric relations, the measured scores of previous spectral rankings are usually dominated by nodes in the largest strongly connected component. In our previous work, we proposed hierarchical alpha centrality to give higher scores for more reachable nodes not in the largest strongly connected component. However, without careful consideration of damping parameters, the scores obtained by this method may be unbounded. In this paper, we normalize the adjacency matrix to be stochastic, subsequently damping the resulting Markov chain with a reciprocal perturbation at each and every non-zero transition, and propose a new hierarchical measure of centrality for asymmetric relations. The proposed measure simplifies damping and ensures that the measured scores are bounded.
在表示不对称关系的有向图中,以往谱排序的测量分数通常由最大强连接分量中的节点主导。在我们之前的工作中,我们提出了分层α中心性,为不在最大强连接组件中的更多可达节点给出更高的分数。然而,如果不仔细考虑阻尼参数,这种方法得到的分数可能是无界的。在本文中,我们将邻接矩阵归一化为随机矩阵,然后在每个非零跃迁处用互反扰动阻尼所得到的马尔可夫链,并提出了一种新的非对称关系中心性的分层度量。所提出的措施简化了阻尼,并确保测量分数是有界的。

Abstract The principal eigenvector of the adjacency matrix is widely used to complement degree, betweenness and closeness measures of network centrality. Employing eigenvector centrality as an individual level metric underutilizes this measure. Here we demonstrate how eigenvector centralization, used as a network-level metric, models the potential, or limitation, for the diffusion of novel information within a network. We relate eigenvector centralization to assortativity and core – periphery and use simple simulations to demonstrate how eigenvector centralization is ideal for revealing the conditions under which network structure produces suboptimal utilization of available information. Our findings provide a structural explanation for the persistence of “out of touch” business and political leadership even when organizations implement protocols and interventions to improve leadership accessibility.
摘要邻接矩阵的主特征向量被广泛用于补充网络中心性的度、介数和贴近度度量。使用特征向量中心性作为个体水平度量没有充分利用这一度量。在这里,我们展示了作为网络级别度量的特征向量集中如何对网络中新信息传播的潜力或限制进行建模。我们将特征向量集中与分类性和核心-外围联系起来,并使用简单的模拟来证明特征向量集中是如何理想地揭示网络结构对可用信息产生次优利用的条件的。我们的研究结果为“脱节”的商业和政治领导力的持续存在提供了结构性解释,即使组织实施了协议和干预措施来提高领导力的可及性。

ABSTRACT This paper develops and illustrates a method for empirically designing an income tax system that people will regard as fair. The paper begins with the classical Principles of Tax Justice, viz., as pretax income increases, three quantities should also increase – posttax income, tax amount, and tax rate. GSOEP data on residents’ pretax income and the posttax income they regard as fair are used to estimate a just linear income tax system. Analytic results include a signature standard form of the tax system showing the intertwined fates of poor and rich and the conditions which threaten fairness. Empirical results show that the estimated tax system lowers taxes for a majority of respondents, especially the relatively poorer, and substantially reduces inequality.
摘要本文发展并说明了一种经验设计人们会认为公平的所得税制度的方法。本文从经典的税收正义原则出发,即随着税前收入的增加,税后收入、税额和税率三个量也应该增加。GSOEP关于居民税前收入和税后收入的数据被认为是公平的,用来估计一个公正的线性所得税制度。分析结果包括一个标志性的税收制度标准形式,显示了穷人和富人的命运交织在一起,以及威胁公平的条件。实证结果表明,估计的税收制度降低了大多数受访者的税收,特别是相对较穷的人,并大大减少了不平等。

Turning relative deprivation into a performance incentive device 将相对剥夺转化为绩效激励手段

ABSTRACT The inclination of individuals to improve their performance when it lags behind that of others with whom they naturally compare themselves can be harnessed to optimize the individuals’ effort in work and study. In a given set of individuals, we characterize each individual by his relative deprivation, which measures by how much the individual trails behind other individuals in the set doing better than him. We seek to divide the set into an exogenously predetermined number of groups (subsets) in order to maximize aggregate relative deprivation, so as to ensure that the incentive for the individuals to work or study harder because of unfavorable comparison with others is at its strongest. We find that the solution to this problem depends only on the individuals’ ordinally measured levels of performance independent of the performance of comparators.
摘要当个人的表现落后于他们自然比较的其他人时,他们倾向于提高自己的表现,这可以用来优化个人在工作和学习中的努力。在给定的一组个体中,我们通过每个个体的相对剥夺来表征每个个体,这是通过个体在多大程度上落后于其他比他做得更好的个体来衡量的。我们试图将集合划分为外源性预定数量的组(子集),以最大限度地提高总体相对剥夺,从而确保个人因与他人的不利比较而更加努力地工作或学习的动机最强。我们发现,这个问题的解决方案只取决于个人的日常衡量表现水平,而与比较器的表现无关。

ABSTRACT When and for whom does it pay to make high-quality products? In this paper, I address this question through the lens of Harrison White’s socioeconomic models of production. The socioeconomic models relate economist incentives of cost-efficiency to sociological insights into the construction of quality on markets. Differences in firm size and quality sustain distinct market niches whose appeal to producers vary. The ordering of niches by quality and associated implications for profitability establish the incentive structure of the market. As illustration, I trace the evolution of the Californian wine industry from its nadir under prohibition to today. The account motivates a productive reading of the socio-economic models that tempers their analytical focus and broadens their scope of application.
什么时候,为谁生产高质量的产品需要付出代价?在本文中,我通过哈里森·怀特的生产社会经济模型来解决这个问题。社会经济模型将经济学家对成本效率的激励与对市场质量建设的社会学见解联系起来。企业规模和质量的差异维持了不同的市场利基,其对生产者的吸引力各不相同。按质量排序的利基和相关的盈利能力建立了市场的激励结构。为了说明这一点,我追溯了加州葡萄酒行业从禁酒令下的最低点到今天的演变过程。这种解释激发了对社会经济模型的富有成效的阅读,缓和了它们的分析焦点,拓宽了它们的应用范围。

Opinion dynamics of online social network users: a micro-level analysis 在线社交网络用户意见动态:微观层面分析

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.
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。

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.","PeriodicalId":50139,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Sociology","volume":"47 1","pages":"1 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0022250X.2021.1956917","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45674576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyze data on the opinion dynamics of 1,660,927 users of an online social network using formal models of opinion formation. We have observed that moderate users have a tendency to follow the average opinion of their online friends, which we interpret as a presence of bounded confidence. Further, we have discovered that the probability of moving toward the average opinion goes down if the difference between it and the user’s opinion is too large. Another interesting feature uncovered is that if a user’s opinion and the average opinion of their online friends are very similar, the influence also decreases.
摘要本文采用意见形成的形式化模型,分析了在线社交网络上1,660,927名用户的意见动态数据。我们观察到,适度的用户倾向于跟随他们在线朋友的平均意见,我们将其解释为有限自信的存在。此外,我们发现,如果平均意见与用户意见之间的差异太大,则倾向于平均意见的概率会下降。另一个有趣的发现是,如果一个用户的观点与其在线朋友的平均观点非常相似,其影响力也会下降。
