Pluralismo metodologico nello studio delle dinamiche di opinione : sociometria, web survey, agent-based modelling
52-65 p.
- Interpersonal influence is a pervasive force in our society. However, despite the many studies in this regard, starting in particular from the sociological classicism, today, what would seem to be missing is the use of an integrated approach to the study of the dynamics of interaction that involve us every day. This study arises from the need to empirically formalize this phenomenon through an investigation of musical preferences among adolescents, thus posing further questions about the ways and reasons why individuals enter into rela- tionships with others. The integrated approach between sociometry, web survey and agent-based modelling allows the phenomenon's conceptualization as a diffusion study, i.e., the outcome of an imitative process triggered by any reasons for compliance.
- In particular, the concepts of social influence and homophily have been traced back to a dual mechanism that explains the phenomenon: 1) the behavior of peers who occupy a relevant position within relational groups; and 2) the interaction favored by specific elements related to the similarity between individuals. The empirical results obtained from a web survey were com- pared with those generated by the simulative model in order to reproduce the observed social phenomenon and to control the theoretical hypotheses underlying the model itself.
