▼ In comparison to other vertebrates, primates have a
large brain in relation to their body size. It has been
hypothesised that the degree of
social complexity is the major
predictor for such variation. In group living species, individuals
face various
social challenges which can include finding the right
balance between cooperation and competition with other group
members. Thus to survive and reproduce individuals would have to
show an adapted cognitive flexibility. Following this argument, two
parallel hypotheses emerged; the “Machiavellian intelligence” and
the “
Social brain” hypotheses propose that the
social complexity of
group living selected respectively for advanced cognitive abilities
and an increase in relative brain/neocortex size (i.e. complexity).
However, finding a positive correlation between the complexity
linked to
social life, corresponding advanced cognitive processes
and brain size/complexity remains challenging. First, adequate
proxies of
social complexity that could be applied to various taxa
remain to be found. Second, examples of strategic
social behaviour
such as proposed by the Machiavellian intelligence have been
described in many taxa suggesting that more comparative studies are
needed to distinguish between advanced cognitive processes and
those that could rely on associative learning. Finally, a potential
link between cognitive abilities and brain/neocortex size remains
largely unexplored. By studying wild vervet monkeys
(<i>Chlorocebus aethiops</i>) in South Africa, the aim
of this thesis was to test for the presence of some
social
knowledge facets in their behaviour. I also wanted to assess their
ability to use such knowledge strategically in both cooperation and
competition contexts. Vervet monkeys represent an ideal species as
they are highly
social, have a strict linear female and male
hierarchies and are usually very willing to participate in set-up
experiments involving food. In Chapter I, I tested the
effect of natural migration, births and deaths on the individual
centrality and strength of dyadic relationships within the
grooming, 1m and 5m proximity
social networks (i.e. method 1). I
also used a new method (i.e. SIENA; method 2) to test both the
network structure and the relationships dynamics. With both
methods, I found a strong among-group variation. In addition,
results suggest that females and juveniles have more influence than
males on the stability at both the individual and dyadic levels,
especially within the grooming
network.
Social relationships might
be
subject to frequent and significant changes often linked to
natural demographic variation. Thus,
social network analyses have
the potential to capture important aspects of the cognitive
social
challenges an individual has to cope with. In Chapter II, I
conducted rank reversal playbacks to test vervet monkeys’ knowledge
about the entire group’s hierarchy. I found that females know about
both female and male hierarchies while males and juveniles seem to
lack such knowledge about the female hierarchy. Results…

▼ Over the past years online social networks have become a major target for marketing strategies, generating a need for methods to efficiently spread information through these networks. Close knit communities have developed on these platforms through groups of users connecting with like minded individuals. In this thesis we use data pulled from Twitter's API and from simulations designed to mirror the Twitter network to pursue an in depth analysis of the network structure and influence of these communities. Through this analysis we draw several conclusions. First, the influence of users in these communities is correlated to the total number of followers in their neighborhood. Second, influential communities tend to be more tightly clustered than other areas of the network. Using these observations, we develop an algorithm to detect influential communities in Twitter and show that correctly prioritizing connections yields significant gains in message visibility.

▼ With the significant growth in Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) in the past two decades, both investment managers
and policy makers are keen to know the factors determining the
location of FDI. The eclectic theory, while being the most popular
and dominant theories in international investment, failed to fully
capture the behavioral dynamics of international investment. For
instance, FDI location decisions sometimes concern the certain
social or political relationships between the home and host
countries such as “cultural ties”. And firms’ international
partners and competitors’ investment decisions impact their
decisions as well. FDI thus is thus progressively realized by
researchers being a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon and
FDI theories also gradually moved from the economics domain towards
the new interdisciplinary field of international business, which is
more concerned with firm strategy. Bandelj and Uzzi proposed a
“relational approach” and “embeddedness view” respectively to
explain the FDI location choice from a firm strategic perspective.
The common point of the two views is that they see FDI as a dyadic
relation between home and host parties, and assume that the
formation of investment relation occurs through certain ways of
relationship and connectivity. Even though FDI has been recognized
as a relational phenomenon, few studies have provided properly
quantitative results mainly due to data scarcity and analysis tools
constraints. In this study I interpret FDI as a linkage that firms
in their home country establish with their host and aim to
understand how a FDI linkage is formed through the effects of
relationship and connectivity. The study issues are addressed in
the three chapters in the thesis by relying on
Social Network
Analysis (SNA). Cross-border M&A transaction data during the
period of 1997 - 2001 in the international electricity industry
among 38 countries are selected as data samples for the analysis.
Analyses reported in these three papers provide empirical evidence
in support of the view that the formation of FDI linkages is
through connectivity and cultural relationship
mechanisms.

▼ A primary focus of
social network analysis
(SNA) is to understand actor attributes from
social structures in a
network. It is an interdisciplinary research topic of statistics,
sociology, graph theories, and computer sciences. Despite its
popularity in other fields, SNA is under-utilized in psychological
and educational research. This is largely due to the lack of
easy-to-use models and user-friendly software. To fill the gap,
this dissertation proposes three models for SNA under an extended
structural equation modeling (SEM) framework. The first model is a
latent space model with a factor structure. In this model, a
social
network is the outcome variable and the model intends to identify
covariates predicting a
network. As a generalization of the first
model, the second model focuses on
social networks with ordinal
relations among actors. A Probit regression model is used to study
the association of an ordinal
social network and covariates. Both
models are estimated using a two-stage maximum likelihood (ML)
method. The performance of the two-stage ML method is assessed
through Monte Carlo simulation studies. Simulation results show
that the two-stage ML method can recover both model parameters and
standard errors. The third model is a mediation model with a
social
network as a mediator. In this model, a latent space model is used
to extract underlying factors of a
social network, which directly
participate in the causal process between two variables. To
estimate the model, a Bayesian estimation method is used and its
performance is evaluated through a simulation study. The usefulness
of three models is demonstrated in analyzing a friendship
network
data set.

▼ Two significant phenomena emerge from recent internet development: consumers are influenced by
social network; and consumers engage in consumption and production of user-generated content. This dissertation studies
social influence and
social media. In Chapter 1, we study how summer internship employer choices of MBA students at a major university are influenced by the choices made by their fellow students. We develop a simultaneous model of each individual's choice as a function of other students' choices. Our model of interdependence in decision making is structural and equilibrium-based. Also, the model is general enough to allow both positive and negative effects of average group choices on any individual's decision. The structure of our data enables us to identify endogenous
social effects separately from exogenous or correlated effects. Specifically, in our data we see each student making choices about whether or not to apply for each job opening; exogenous and correlated effects do not vary in this sample and therefore endogenous effects are identified. We employ a two-stage procedure to address the endogeneity of choices: we estimate empirical choice probabilities in the first stage, and taste parameters for employer attributes and peer influence in the second stage. Our results show that as expected, students prefer jobs with strong employer attributes (e.g. high salary, large firm size). In addition, students are influenced by their peers' choices. However, in contrast to previous studies, we find negative (rather than positive)
social effects. That is, strong attributes also make an internship employer less attractive, leading to a lower choice probability relative to cases of zero or positive
social effects. This negative
social effect is consistent with congestion, i.e. students are aware that a good internship will attract the interest of more students, thus lowering the odds of getting it. We find that these negative
social effects are stronger for students with more work experience and stronger GMAT scores. While positive
social effect leads to concentration of choices, negative
social effect helps prevent concentration. In chapter 2, we analyze how large content-sharing websites operate for companies like Google and Yahoo. A content website provider needs to understand content users to achieve different objectives. Consumers searching content take sampling probability as given in deciding consumption, and producers are motivated by endorsement. Sampling probability is a key policy instrument. Endorsement may explain why a small number of producers generate most content. Individual behaviors alone cannot explain genesis and persistence of sampling probability and endorsement. Two distinguishing features of content-being free and non-rival preclude application of celebrated market equilibrium theory. We develop a content equilibrium from first principles. Consumer and producer can be compatible, and their interaction gives rise to endogenous sampling probability and endorsement. Inequality arises:…

▼ Hearing the ‘Voiceless’: Examining theFeesMustFall movement as an issue community
The hashtag #FeesMustFall was adopted by students on
social media platforms as a rallying cry to unite students and the public to support the cause for free education in South Africa (Thomas, 2015). This study aims to ‘listen’ to the voices of #FeesMustFall 2016 on Twitter. Literature focussed on exploring how issue communities (Mareider and Schwarzenegger, 2012) and
social curation (Villi, 2012) provide insight on the characteristics of the #FeesMustFall movement. Furthermore, this research investigates the conversations of this online community on matters of free education. Therefore, the conversations were examined using the norms of the Hauserian (1999) public sphere, which focusses on discourse and not the group enacting the discourse. Because this research explored aspects of ‘hashtag activism’, this type of analysis proved useful to understand new types of civic engagement which occur on online platforms like
social media. In terms of methodological framework, this study was grounded within cultural studies and
network theory as it explored the discourses within the conversations and the
network structure of the community. This helped uncover the underlying topics discussed in the community, and identify the most influential members.

▼ Due to their arduous schedules, Korean high school students have little time to socialize with their peers face-to-face. Because of this, socializing in online environments is important to them. Using smartphone applications, Korean high school girls are creating their own cultural practices as they socialize. However, media repeatedly report concerns about adolescents’ excessive use of smartphones, and the public has begun to worry about children’s media dependence. In exploring these phenomena, I pose four research questions: 1) what do smartphones mean to South Korean high school girls? 2) How do South Korean high school girls socialize through mobile messengers, such as Kakao Talk, and how are these activities related to their
social capital and
social networks? 3) How do South Korean high school girls socialize through mobile
social games connected to mobile messengers, and how are these activities related to their
social capital and
social networks? 4) How is Korean high school girls’ attachment to smartphones related to smartphone addiction? For this research, I conducted focus group interviews with 23 Korean high school girls about their smartphone use. The findings of this research revealed that 1) South Korean high school girls established an exceptional attachment to smartphones; 2) interviewees were complementing the deficiency of offline socializing by establishing alternative online communities through smartphone messengers, and these
social behaviors were increasing their bonding
social capital; 3) Korean high school girls were interacting with their strong ties through mobile
social games, and the interactions with their weak ties were limited and superficial; and 4) Korean high school girls were at risk for smartphone addiction in accordance with the existing criteria for media addiction.

▼ Resilience refers to the capacity to quickly return to normal levels of functioning in the face of adversity. This capacity has previously been linked to social support. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social networks in the association between resilience and social anxiety in a clinical group with social anxiety disorder (n = 41) and a control group of university students (n = 40). The results showed that controls were significantly more resilient than the clinical group. Controls had significantly larger, more diverse and active social networks than the clinical group. Resilience was negatively associated with social anxiety in both groups. In the clinical group, there was a significant partial mediation effect of resilience on social anxiety through the size of the social network, a x b = –0.33, 95% CI [–0.718, –0.111]. Potential clinical applications of these results were discussed.

▼ Previous research has mainly focused on the social capital formation process on Facebook. In general, professionally-oriented social network sites (P-SNSs), such as LinkedIn, are under-researched in the Information Systems discipline. In addition, current studies do not include the effects of important elements of social network sites (SNS) such as one’s profile on social capital formation. As such, the main objective of this research is to propose and validate a model that explains the process by which individuals develop and accrue social capital through using P-SNSs. The theoretical framework of the proposed research draws upon Social Network Analysis, Social Media Analysis, and Social Capital Theory. Using an online survey of 377 LinkedIn users, this study finds that: (1) P-SNS users’ actions (perceived profile disclosure, active participation, and passive consumption) have significant positive effects on perceived social connectedness; (2) perceived social connectedness on P-SNSs has a significant positive effect on perceived networking value on these sites; (3) perceived profile disclosure and passive consumption have significant positive effects on network size; (4) active participation does not have any effect on network size; and (5) network size does not have a significant effect on perceived networking value. Overall, this investigation advances our understanding of how social capital is formed in P-SNSs. Additionally, by including the profile disclosure construct in the research model, this is the first study in the P-SNS context that investigates the role of the user profile in the social capital formation process, along with user actions such as active participation and passive consumption. From a practical perspective, this study has implications for different audiences such as job seekers, policy-makers, and P-SNS providers, assisting them in playing a more effective role in the social capital formation process on P-SNSs.
Thesis
Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
In recent years, people increasingly spend their time on various social network sites (SNSs) such as Facebook and LinkedIn. This raises a serious question as to how people gain actual benefits from using these sites. This research examines this question from the lens of social capital. As such, the main objective of this research was to propose and validate a model that explains the process by which individuals develop social capital through professionally-oriented SNS such as LinkedIn. This study finds that to gain actual benefits from professionally-oriented SNS, such as networking value, people need to feel connected to their social networks on the site. This feeling of connection requires that people actively participate on the site (e.g., share a post) rather than just reading and following other people’s posts. Also, to connect with more people, individuals should disclose more information on the site.

▼ What drives the propensity for the
social
network dynamics?
Social influence is believed to drive both
off-line and on-line human behavior, however it has not been
considered as a driver of
social network evolution. To answer this
question, we integrate microscopic and macroscopic analysis that
describe the connection between
social influence and
network
dynamics and validate our proposition through several important
applications. At microscopic level, we test whether or not the
dynamics of individuals embedded in
social networks can be
attributed to the effects of
social influence. Influence based
methods are demonstrated to be able to accurately predict future
node degree centrality and novel links. At macroscopic level, we
also examine whether several promulgated macroscopic properties of
social networks are the consequences of
social influence spreading.
we develop a novel model of
network evolution where the dynamics of
network follow the mechanism of influence propagation, which are
not captured by the existing
network evolution models. Our
experiments confirm the predictions of our model and demonstrate
the important role that
social influence can play in the process of
network evolution. These findings and methods are essential to both
our understanding of the mechanisms that drive
network evolution
and our knowledge of the role of
social influence in shaping the
network structure.

▼ The topic of
social engineering is only covered briefly in today's system administration and security coursework. This lack of coverage leaves many Administrators ill-equipped to administer the users of a computer
network. In addition to their technical training, administrators need to comprehend the potential severity and likelihood of
social engineering attacks. Teaching administrators only to minimize the risk of hacking attempts or computer virus infections does not fully equip them with the knowledge needed to defend their networks. To ensure the safety of their
network from
social engineering attacks, administrators need to be able to answer three primary questions: * How can Administrators look for and identify a
social engineering attack? * How can Administrators properly train users to ensure they do not become the
network's weakest security link? * How can Administrators test their protection methods to ensure the risk of
social engineering attacks is sufficiently mitigated? This thesis attempts to answer these questions, devise a training workshop template Administrators can present to their users, and present a base set of audit guidelines Administrators can employ to ensure their attack prevention methods are effective.

▼ Much structured data of scientific interest can be
represented as networks, where sets of nodes or vertices are joined
together in pairs by links or edges. Although these networks may
belong to different research areas, there is one property that many
of them do have in common: the network community structure, which
means that there exists densely connected groups of vertices, with
only sparser connections between groups. The main goal of community
mining is to discover these communities in social networks or other
similar information network environments. We face many deficiencies
in current community structure discovery methods. First, one
similarity metric is typically applied in all networks, without
considering the differences in network and application
characteristics. Second, many existing methods assume the network
information is fully available, and one node only belongs to one
cluster. However, in reality, a social network can be huge thus it
is hard to access the complete network. It is also common for
social entities to belong to multiple communities. Finally,
relations between entities are hard to understand in heterogeneous
social networks, where multiple types of relations and entities
exist. Therefore, the thesis of this research is to tackle these
community mining problems, in order to discover and evaluate
community structures in social networks from various
aspects.

▼ Nissenbaum's (2010) framework of contextual integrity contends that informational norms, which are characterized by key parameters or cues, indicate if a disclosure is appropriate to share in a given context. These cues include aspects of the context, relationship between interaction partners, attributes of the information being shared, and constraints on how information can be shared. Offline, these cues are relatively easy to identify, and help people locate and follow informational norms in their day-to-day lives. However, SNSs tend to obscure many of these cues, making it difficult for users to follow relevant informational norms on these sites. This study explored two factors that may affect participants' ability to abide by informational norms in SNS contexts. The first factor is a form of contextual cue that indicated how frequently other users had shared information on the site. The second factor is a class of primes called eye primes, in which the presence of eyes in one's visual field increases normative behavior in a wide range of settings (for review See Nettle et al., 2013). Study 1 explored what kinds of information students evaluate as appropriate versus inappropriate to disclose on a university-affiliated SNS to get a baseline understanding of the informational norms students would apply to a specific kinds of SNS. Study 2 examined how contextual cues and eye primes affected disclosure behavior and found that the contextual cues affected disclosure behavior relative to when there were no cues present, but the eye primes only affected disclosure behavior when contextual cues were also present in this context. Study 3 INFLUENCING PRIVACY explored how contextual cues and eye primes affect privacy setting decisions, and found that contextual cues affected how strict participants set their privacy settings. In addition, placing the privacy settings page before the profile page nudged participants to disclose more inappropriate information than when they filled out a profile before making privacy setting decisions. The results of these three studies suggest that contextual cues and eye primes can affect information sharing behavior on SNSs. This not only has important implications for Nissenbaum's (2010) framework of contextual integrity but also has interesting implications for Brandimarte and colleagues (2013) privacy paradox as well.

▼ Millions of user generated video blogs expressing opinions and feelings about products, events, news and many other issues are produced and uploaded to websites including social networks every day. These videos are usually produced and edited by non-professional producers using inexpensive equipment, which results in the audio tracks containing noisy, spontaneous and unstructured speech. The popularity of such videos and creditability of their content has increased the demand for suitable automatic analysis techniques since the traditional methods were not designed to address such content and quality challenges. These techniques will help the development of applications such as detecting offensive content and collecting user feedback about products to support manufacturing and production decisions.
This thesis presents a system for speaker independent keyword spotting (KWS) in continuous speech that can help in automatic analysis, indexing, search and retrieval of such videos by content. The keyword spotting system is based on dynamic time warping (DTW) for matching one spoken example to a test utterance. The system introduces a solution for the speaker dependency problem of the traditional DTW approach. Compared to a hidden Markov model (HMM) approach as traditionally used in automatic speech recognition (ASR), the proposed approach does not require acoustic modelling, training or language modelling. This is of particular relevance to user blog videos since they often contain key words of interest that have not been adequately represented in a training database (e.g. topical words that are emerging in society, coarse language, product names and personal names). A DTW distance histogram for automatic estimation of similarity thresholds for every keyword-utterance pair is introduced.
Experiments conducted on a wide range of sentences of clean speech and keywords show that when only a few examples of the keyword are available, the proposed system has a higher performance than an HMM-based approach. Extensive experiments also confirm that the proposed approach is superior to a HMM approach when applied to speech corrupted by two types of noise and with different signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) levels. The superior performance of the proposed approach is also maintained following the application of a variety of traditional speech enhancement algorithms as well as a feature enhancement algorithm used within a HMM approach.
Another contribution of this thesis is that it investigates the feasibility of temporal sentiment detection for those videos by analysing the transcription generated by a speech recognition system. Also proposed is a solution to the problem of fixed threshold estimation used for the output probabilities of a Naïve Bayesian classifier applied to the transcription text and irrelevant text filtering for improving the sentiment classification. The proposed solution uses clustering algorithms instead of static thresholds for predicting sentiment from the output probabilities of the Naïve…

▼ Studies of American revolutionaries often focus on their ideologies and politics, and while this approach is quite useful, the actions of this cohort can also be understood in terms of social networks. Recent works on the founding fathers, while employing the literature of social history, are still biographies that make men the center of the narrative and often ignore larger social trends. An important figure among revolutions, John Jay, provides an opportunity to look beyond biography and instead focus on the networks in which he was engaged. This approach allows for a more expansive view of how individuals and events together shape history. This project also examines the transatlantic realities of the American Revolution, and the founding of the United States.; I argue that Jay understood the value of these networks, and used them to his advantage. This dissertation reconstructs the social networks of John Jay from his graduation from King's College in 1764 to his retirement from politics in 1801. I use formal network analysis and visualization tools to create network models, specifically egocentric networks, in order to understand the web of relationships that defined Jay's world and influenced history. The formal investigation of Jay's networks offers an opportunity to examine his manipulation of those networks.; Many of the benefits of applying social network analysis were not unexpected. People and groups that had previously been marginalized or trivialized were highlighted as integral to Jay. This work sheds light on the significance of these individuals who influenced Jay throughout his career. Another important result of this approach revealed that no singular individual was responsible for writings, ideas, and events. Using network theory, it became clear that the instructions that Alexander Hamilton gave to Jay for this peace mission were, in fact, created by a number of Federalists in private discussions before the meeting. Network theory also helped to clarify Jay's agency in the negotiations themselves.; Several limitations of applying network analysis to historical study were revealed in this research. The datasets are large and require an extensive amount of investigation. Applying network data analysis to historical research challenges the writer to integrate both into a coherent understanding of the impact of relationships and events. This approach is fairly non-traditional among academics, but the practice of integrating social network analysis into historical study is a worthy pursuit.

▼ A growing body of research has examined emergent
leadership within groups. Emergent leadership is defined as a
process during which some individuals, over time and through
social
interaction, are recognized and accepted as leaders by the group.
Interestingly, although there is much theorizing about how
leadership emerges and about the individual characteristics
facilitating the emergence of leaders, there is still very little
about knowledge about this particular dynamic
social process, and
this is especially true if we expand our view of leadership beyond
the leader-follower dyad. To refine our understanding of leadership
emergence, I built my investigations on previous research on
Distributed Leadership which recommends the use of
social network
analysis to study how leadership may be shared among several
individuals. By envisioning leadership as a
network of perceptions,
where nodes and ties represent actors and leadership nominations
respectively, a complex and multi-level representation of
leadership is gathered. While
social network analysis has been
successfully applied to study distributed leadership using a
cross-sectional approach, leadership emergence occurs over time and
an analysis of this phenomenon would benefit from the use of a
longitudinal perspective. I therefore collected leadership networks
over several periods of time and used SIENA, a novel multilevel
statistical procedure for longitudinal analysis of
social networks,
to examine, through three manuscripts, (i) How emergent leaders are
the result of group processes?, (ii) Do emergent leaders perceive
themselves as leaders? and (iii) Are emergent leaders emotionally
intelligence?

▼ This paper contributes to the conversation on museum education by examining how
educators can engage learners in a world with digital networks. After World War II, many
scholars agreed that the purpose of museums was to provide a service for the public. Now, at
the dawn of the twenty first century, digital networks make it possible for another shift, so that
museums are no longer for the public, but by the public. This paper demonstrates how John
Dewey’s Constructivist Learning Theory and John Falk’s Contextual Learning Model can be
incorporated into museums’ educational programs to enhance learning for an online audience.
The thesis begins with a brief history of the nonprofit public art museum, and then
examines how the museum is changing in response to the digital age. Each chapter opens with
an examination of a unique digital platform, and then shifts to exploring how the museum can
implement the technology into a curriculum. Chapters begin with broad topics, such as a website
design,
social networks and digital labs, and then progress toward the implementation of specific
technologies, such as writing projects, visual media tools, and mobile technologies. Optimism
for enhancing public education through online programming permeates the paper, yet each
chapter explores the unanticipated and negative consequences of working with an emerging
technology.

▼ Individual variation in asocial and social behavioural traits can affect patterns of social association. Resultant individual-level variation in sociality can be quantified using social network analysis. Social network analysis has recently been applied to the study of the evolution and development of social behaviour. Though captive systems have provided useful contributions to this endeavour, investigating the factors shaping social structure in wild populations affords superior ecological relevance. The characterisation of the social structure of wild animals has been greatly aided by improvements in automated data collection methods, particularly the miniaturisation of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for the purposes of studying the social foraging behaviour of wild birds. In this thesis, I use RFID methods to examine the factors influencing between-individual variation in foraging routines (Chapter Two) and social network position (Chapter Three) in wild populations of a colonial corvid species, the jackdaw (Corvus monedula). I then relate social network position to reproductive success (Chapter Three) and investigate the developmental plasticity of jackdaw social behaviour by determining the effect of early life conditions on social network position (Chapter Four). Finally, I describe the fine-scale temporal dynamics of social foraging, the nature of accompaniment during paired foraging and the foraging benefits of social support (Chapter Five).

▼ Networks are widely used to understand
complex real-world systems. This thesis focuses on
social networks
in which nodes are individuals and edges are individuals’
friendship, family, or professional relationships.
Social networks
play an important role in individuals’ physical and mental health.
Traditional research aiming to link individuals’
social networks
and health has focused on studying a relationship between static
network structure and static health-related traits due to the
inability to collect individuals’ dynamic
social interaction data
and dynamic health-related trait data. With recent advancements of
data collection technologies, such as smartphones and wearable
sensors, one is able to collect such data. This is exactly what we
have done in the NetHealth study, which gathered
social interaction
data from smartphones (i.e., SMS communications), health-related
behavioral data from wearable sensors (i.e., Fitbit data), and
individuals’ trait data from surveys (e.g., personality traits and
mental health) of around 700 Notre Dame undergraduates during 2015
to 2019. Leveraging the rich NetHealth data, this
thesis focuses on uncovering relationships between individuals’
social network positions, health-related behaviors, and various
other traits and developing
network-based models to predict
individuals’ mental health. In particular, we look at the
co-evolution of individuals’
social network positions (i.e.,
centralities) and their behaviors (i.e., physical activities), with
the goal of studying whether groups of individuals who have similar
evolving
social network profiles or similar evolving physical
activity profiles (or both) share similar traits such as
personality, depression, and anxiety. We are the first ones to
study the relationship between individuals’ positions in a dynamic
social network and their dynamic health-related behaviors. Our
results reveal several associations between individuals’
social
network structure, health-related (i.e., physical activity)
behaviors, and other (e.g., personality or mental health) traits.
So, in a follow-up study, we integrate the different data types
from the NetHealth study into a heterogeneous information
network
(HIN) to develop a predictive model of
social network structure
from behavioral/trait information or vice versa. Specifically, we
focus on the task of predicting one’s mental health (i.e.,
likelihood of being depressed or anxious) from the rest of the
data. In this context, we are the first ones to define the problem
of predicting individuals’ mental health as applying to our HIN a
popular paradigm of a recommender system (RS), which is typically
used to predict the preference that an individual would give to an
item (e.g., a movie or book). In our case, the items are the
individuals’ different mental health states. Since the existing RS
methods work on static
network data and extending them to dynamic
network data is non-trivial, our constructed HIN aggregates the
dynamic
social network data from the considered study time period
into a static…

▼ The current study examined how state-owned media uses Twitter to build their agenda about controversial international relations issues. Three questions are examined: are state-owned media important nodes of the discussion
network, who are interacting with state-owned media, how then interaction influences the narrative and how it influences the overall quality of discussion. The dissertation examined three issues: the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo in 2016, South China Sea territory dispute and Trans-Pacific Partnership. Study 1 used
social network analysis to study the discussion networks of all three issues and found that state-owned media being successful information disseminator but not very successful in generating engagement. Study 2 used content analysis to study how interaction with state-owned media influences the content and quality of discussion. Result indicates that state-owned media has strong agenda-building effect on a small group of users on Twitter. The information reach is limited and the discussion involved state-owned media is more homogeneous. Implications were discussed in Chapter 5. ( en )

▼ Social movements (SMs) are common, yet complex phenomenon of study, generating eclectic and even conflicting perspectives on what actually constitutes a SM. This notion points towards the need of an inclusive framework that attempts to talk with rather than past conflicting perspectives. The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a hybrid theoretical framework that incorporates three SM perspectives: (1) SMs as aggregates, (2) SMs as networks, and (3) SMs as symbolic interactions. I argue that a framework of SMs as networks communication episodes (CAMs) is one way to build a successful hybrid approach, arguing that SMs consist of relationships between and within actors and events. In order to put the CAM framework to use, I used multidimensional exponential random graph modeling (MERGM) to analyze four different SMS: (1) 1970s US Energy Policy Domain, (2) 1970s US Health Policy Domain, (3) 1980s Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland, and (4) 1980s US Labor Policy Domain. Multidimensional
network simulation was used to determine which organizing patterns correlate to instrumental and expressive theories of collective action and MERGM was used to uncover the dominant multidimensional organizing patterns in the empirical data behind each SM. Results revealed that most collective action events were organized by single organizations across all four SMs and that the Polish SM was the only movement out of the four that contain positive estimates of parameters conducive to
network theories of collective action. Based on these results, a working model of factors that are theorized to influence the CAM structure is proposed, along with an application to the Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland and anti-Three Mile Island nuclear power plant mobilization. Moreover, based on different patterns in the CAM framework, a typology of different modes of organizing for collective action is developed, challenging a recent and common perspective of collective action as either organized or un-organized.

▼ This study focuses on the use of
social networking in a sophomore English language arts classroom. Research was conduct to determine if
social networking websites like Facebook and Myspace could be used to enhance student achievement and foster academic growth. The research model used was action research, an academic Facebook page was create for participating students to be used as a class resource page. At the end of the project data was collect in the form of students??? English language arts benchmark scores and that of students??? English academic grade. Data was analyzed using a two matched paired t-test: the first comparing benchmark scores before and after the implementation of the academic Facebook page; the second comparing academic grades before and after the implementation of the academic Facebook page. The interpretation of both matched paired t-test suggested that the use of
social networking as a pedagogical tool in this particular class could have a very significant impact on students??? grades and achievement. This research provides educators and administrators with a stepping stone of how to begin introducing
social networking into teaching strategies and school culture. This research also shows the potential benefits of
social networking, as a student resource, for high school students.

▼ Voluntary turnover is an important organizational issue with costs beyond monetary losses (Morrow & McElroy, 2007). Subsequently, the detrimental effects have engendered extensive research that has led to multiple turnover models attempting to unite antecedents to maximize the variance in predicting turnover and turnover intent (Griffeth et al., 2000). However, current models have omitted important aspects of an employee’s working experience. This dissertation addresses that gap; namely, the need to incorporate relational forces at work that keep individuals at their current organizations. The study integrates
social relations and the traditional turnover model (Mobley, 1977) to examine the unique and joint effects of
social relations in predicting turnover intent. An empirical study of two independent samples of full-time working individuals (N = 318; N = 235) endorsed a mixed methods approach to expand the measurement of
social relations by examining
social network content, strength, structure, and influence. Select work personality traits, work characteristics, and turnover outcomes were assessed via an online questionnaire. The results demonstrate that expressive link defection (i.e., friends leaving the organization), instrumental normative pressure to stay (i.e., advisors wanting employees to stay), and instrumental strength (i.e., frequency of contact with advisors) predict significant variance in turnover intent beyond traditional predictors. In addition, expressive link defection and instrumental normative pressure to stay had stronger relationships with turnover intent for longer tenured employees than shorter tenured employees.

▼ With the ever-increasing demands of people's social interactions, traditional online social networking applications are being shifted to the mobile ones, enabling users' social networking and interactions anywhere anytime. Due to the portability and pervasiveness of mobile devices, such as smartphones, wearable devices and tablets, Mobile Social Network (MSN), as a promising social network platform, has become increasingly popular and brought immense benefits. In MSN, users can easily discover and chat with social friends in the vicinity even without the Internet; vehicle drivers and passengers can exchange traffic information, videos or images with other vehicles on the road; customers in a shopping mall can share sale information and recommend it to their friends. With MSNs, massive opportunities are created to facilitate people's social interactions and enlarge the inherent social circle.
However, the flourish of MSNs also hinges upon fully understanding and managing the challenges, such as security threats and privacy leakage. Security and privacy concerns rise as the boom of MSN applications comes up, but few users have paid adequate attentions to protect their privacy-sensitive information from disclosing. First of all, to initiate social interactions, users sometimes exchange their social interests or preferences with each other (including strangers in the vicinity) without sufficient protections. As such, some private information may be inferred from the exchanged social interests by attackers and untrusted users. Secondly, some malicious attackers might forge fake identities or false contents, such as spam and advertisements, to disrupt MSNs or mislead other users. These attackers could even collude and launch a series of security threats to MSNs. In addition, massive social network data are usually stored in untrusted cloud servers, where data confidentiality, authentication, access control and privacy are of paramount importance. Last but not least, the trade-off between data availability and privacy should be taken into account when the data are stored, queried and processed for various MSN applications. Therefore, novel security and privacy techniques become essential for MSN to provide sufficient and adjustable protections.
In this thesis, we focus on security and privacy for MSNs. Based on the MSN architecture and emerging applications, we first investigate security and privacy requirements for MSNs and introduce several challenging issues, i.e., spam, misbehaviors and privacy leakage. To tackle these problems, we propose efficient security and privacy preservation schemes for MSNs. Specifically, the main contributions of this thesis can be three-fold. Firstly, to address the issues of spam in autonomous MSNs, we propose a personalized fine-grained spam filtering scheme (PIF), which exploits social characteristics during data delivery. The PIF allows users to create personalized filters according to their social interests, and enables social friends to hold these filters, discarding the unwanted…

▼ The current study is focusing on diffusion and adoption of new digital artifacts. The goal is to explore the social role of user-generated content (UGC) during the diffusion process of digital artifacts in the context of online social networks. The study spans a wide range of analytics methods and tools such as predictive modeling, latent sentiment analysis, data retrieval, and other tools of time-series analysis & visualization. Data collection is conducted on 260 new digital products and more than 105 thousand social network nodes. Results of the study provide a deeper insight into the influence of textual UGC sentiment on new product diffusion and how such a web system (i.e.: online social networks) can help to enable a process of value co-creation. The overall finding shows that Volume of Post and UGC Sentiment have a dynamic impact on Diffusion (Adoption Rate) of digital products. But, the relationships among them depend on certain situations. Specifically, UGC Sentiment has a dynamic impact on Adoption Rate in the early stage of the diffusion process. That is UGC Sentiment and Adoption Rate have a reciprocal relationship during the early stage. However, this relationship was faded out in the later stage. Volume of Post has a positive impact on Adoption Rate throughout the process. Both UGC Sentiment and Volume of Post are also more likely to influence on a single-generation and successful product than a multiple-generation product. Surprisingly, Depth of Post and Ratings did not play a significant role in the diffusion process. The study sheds light on the crowding power and the long-tail effect in online social networks. Findings also offer valuable implications for organizations to set up their strategic vision in terms of targeted marketing, customer relationship management, and information dissemination.

▼ This thesis studies
social influence from the perspective of users' characteristics. The importance of users' characteristics in word-of-mouth applications has been emphasized in economics and marketing fields. We model a category of users called mavens where their unique characteristics nominate them to be the preferable seeds in viral marketing applications. In addition, we develop some methods to learn their characteristics based on a real dataset. We also illustrate the ways to maximize information flow through mavens in
social networks. Our experiments show that our model can successfully detect mavens as well as fulfill significant roles in maximizing the information flow in a
social network where mavens considerably outperform general influential users for influence maximization. The results verify the compatibility of our model with real marketing applications.

▼ This study explores the factors that support the development of interdisciplinary research connections in a large public research university. Graduate students and faculty from 15 departments (n = 227) responded to an online survey focusing on an individualâ s openness toward interdisciplinary research, applied epistemological orientation, and potential interdisciplinary collaborations. The findings suggest that the formation of interdisciplinary connections is tied to two main determinants: interdisciplinary openness, which is supported by reporting a more applied epistemological orientation and being a graduate student. The diversity of interdisciplinary connections is influenced by the academic status, with tenured faculty exhibiting the most diversity in connections. Finally, research
network analysis suggests that the patterns of interdisciplinary collaborations tend to orient toward collaborations between similar and familiar methodological partners, and not toward collaborations with partners that are wholly unfamiliar in terms of methodology or research focus.
