概括
人们使用一般的统计推理推断社交网络连接,而不是专门的社会知识. 这种域通用方法适用于各种网络类型,重点是直接连接,而不是整体网络结构.
科学领域:
- 认知心理学 认知心理学
- 社交网络分析 社交网络分析
- 计算社会科学 计算社会科学
背景情况:
- 了解个人如何从不完整的社交网络数据中推断关系至关重要.
- 现有的理论争论这些推断是否依赖于特定领域的社会知识或领域的一般统计原则.
研究的目的:
- 调查社交网络推断是否是由特定领域的社会知识或领域一般的统计推理驱动的.
- 确定人们是否使用网络属性,如相互连接来推断实体之间的关系.
- 检查推断是否专注于目标实体或更广泛的网络结构.
主要方法:
- 五个预先注册的实验涉及1,424名参与者.
- 参与者根据他们在社会,半社会和非社会网络中的联系来评估目标实体之间的关系.
- 根据网络属性 (如连接频率和互惠性) 分析判断.
主要成果:
- 关于目标实体连接的推断在社交和非社交网络中是相似的,支持一个域一般统计推理帐户.
- 推断连接的可能性随着相互连接的比例和连接数量的增加而增加.
- 与关于直接目标实体连接的推断相比,关于更广泛的网络结构的推断受到网络信息的影响较小.
结论:
- 社交网络推断主要依赖于域一般的统计推理,而不是特定领域的社会知识.

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Cause and Effect

While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Inductive Reasoning
60.1K
Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

Protein Networks
3.9K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

In- and Out-Groups
38.9K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.
