Introduction: The widowhood effect is the increase in the probability of a person dying a relatively short time after their long-time spouse has died.
Two simple extensions:
- the widowhood effect was not restricted to husbands and wives
- it was not restricted to pairs of people.
Instant 1: Network of obesity epidemic:
-
X-axis: the degrees of separation between the two people
-
Y-axis: the increase in the probability that a person is obese given that a social contact of theirs is obese
-
three possibilities:
induction(引诱)[eg: 和肥胖者一起聚餐可能会吃的更多/改变对身材的看法]
homophily(同质相吸→彼此聚集)
confounding(share a common exposure to something→交络 )[eg: 都参加同一个健身房所以认识]
-
lead to clusters of obese and non-obese individuals within the network
Instant 2: Network of emotion spread:
Social networks:
-
The phenomenon of clusters is caused by the spread of norm/idea within social network created by connections.And there are different patterns of connection and different location inside network.
-
Networks is the actual architecture of the ties around us. And it influence us in every aspect of life, smoking, drinking behavior, voting behavior, divorce and so on.
-
Networks have value/social capital not only beacause of individuals within them but also the structure/connections of networks [eg: graphite vs diamond]
-
how to sustain and nourish social networks: spread of good and valuable things(fundamental,or networks won't exsist)
