论文摘要
使用网络分析，心理学家已经发现人格与社交网络结构之间的非平凡相关性。尽管有大量的经验研究，但这种关系背后的理论分析和正式模型仍然缺乏。为了弥合这一差距，我们提出了一个基于个性特征的友谊网络的生成模型。据我们所知，这是第一项将人格和友谊发展概念介绍给社交网络模型的第一项，并支持社会和人格心理学的见解。我们使用该模型来研究两个人格特征，外向性和愉快性对网络结构的影响。分析和仿真结果都与最近的经验证据一致，即外向性和同意与程度正相关。使用此模型，我们表明人格对友谊发展的影响可以构成人格对友谊网络结构的影响。
Using network analysis, psychologists have already found the nontrivial correlation between personality and social network structure. Despite the large amount of empirical studies, theoretical analysis and formal models behind such relationship are still lacking. To bridge this gap, we propose a generative model for friendship networks based on personality traits. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to explicitly introduce the concept of personality and friendship development into a social network model, with supporting insights from social and personality psychology. We use the model to investigate the effect of two personality traits, extraversion and agreeableness, on network structure. Analytical and simulation results both concur with recent empirical evidence that extraversion and agreeableness are positively correlated with degree. Using this model, we show that the effect of personality on friendship development can amount to the effect of personality on friendship network structure.
