Friends network expansion and reduction: investigating the role of structural and psychological factors
P. 196–208.
Sinyavskaya Y., Porshnev A.
Rich data from social network sites (SNS) attracts the attention of psychologists and sociologists interested in interpersonal dynamics, friendship networks, and social capital. The presented study explores the effect of network structural features and psychological characteristics of SNS users on changes in their friendship networks. The data from the representative and diverse sample of 375 Russian Vkontakte SNS users from Vologda city was used. Two waves of network data collection allow us to estimate changes in the size of the friendship networks. Regression analysis reveals similarities in the factors responsible for the changes in networks for users who attract or reject friends. We discuss possible explanations of this phenomenon, as well as limitations of the study and further research directions.

The U.S. is the only major power with which Russia had neither armed conflict nor significant confrontation between the late 18th century and the mid-20th century. Relations in 1776-1945 were mostly quite friendly, marked by important acts of mutual support, and it was only in 1946-1985 and the 21st century that they deteriorated.
The bottom line: 170 positive years ...

The analysis of networks describing many social, economic, technological, biological and other systems has attracted a lot of attention last decades. Since most of these complex systems evolve over time, there is a need to investigate the changes, which appear in the system, in order to assess the sustainability of the network and to identify ...

В разговоре об алгоритмах, их влиянии на коллективное и индивидуальное восприятие соцсетей, на мой взгляд, важен конфликт очищенных от контекста больших данных, на которые так любят ссылаться маркетологи и аналитики, и пользовательских практик, пронизанных аффектами и догадками. Даже имея большие

We report the coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states in a mutually coupled star network of nearly conservative non-identical oscillators. Generalized synchronization is observed between the central oscillator with the peripherals, and phase synchronization is found among the peripherals in weakly dissipative systems. However, the basin size of the synchronization region decreases as dissipation strength ...

The article reveals the issues of expanded understanding of self-presentation viewed as an integral component of any communicative act, as the socio-cultural behaviour, and also as a means of controlling the impression a person makes on others in the process of interaction.

Social tie maintenance has always had cognitive and emotional costs and has always been leading to uneven distribution of communication volume among egos' alters. This distribution, known as a social signature, is assumed to be relatively stable for each individual. Availability of digital traces of human communication allows testing
whether this assumption is true and whether it holds in specific ...

Online social networks have become an essential communi- cation channel for the broad and rapid sharing of information. Currently, the mechanics of such information-sharing is captured by the notion of cascades, which are tree-like networks comprised of (re)sharing actions. However, it is still unclear what factors drive cascade growth. Moreover, there is a lack of ...
