Identifying the temporal dynamics of densification and sparsification in human contact networksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-15 - 2022
Shaunette T. Ferguson, Teruyoshi Kobayashi
Temporal social networks of human interactions are preponderant in understanding the fundamental patterns of human behavior. In these networks, interactions occur locally between individuals (i.e., nodes) who connect with each other at different times, culminating into a complex system-wide web that has a dynamic composition. Dynamic behavior in networks occurs not only locally but also at the glo...... hiện toàn bộ

The dynamics of collective social behavior in a crowd controlled gameSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-16 - 2019
Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno
Despite many efforts, the behavior of a crowd is not fully understood. The advent of modern communication means has made it an even more challenging problem, as crowd dynamics could be driven by both human-to-human and human-technology interactions. Here, we study the dynamics of a crowd controlled game (Twitch Plays Pokémon), in which nearly a million players participated during more than two wee...... hiện toàn bộ
Mental health concerns precede quits: shifts in the work discourse during the Covid-19 pandemic and great resignationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-26 - 2023

To study the causes of the 2021 Great Resignation, we use text analysis and investigate the changes in work- and quit-related posts between 2018 and 2021 on Reddit. We find that the Reddit discourse evolution resembles the dynamics of the U.S. quit and layoff rates. Furthermore, when the COVID-19 pandemic started, conversations related to working from home, switching jobs, work-related distress, a...... hiện toàn bộ
