When individual behaviour matters: homogeneous and network models in epidemiology (2007, background): “…urban network (Eubank et al. 2004; Del Valle et al. 2006), (c) Zachary Karate Club network (Zachary 1977), (d ) Atlanta high school syphilis network (Rothenberg et al. 1998), (e) Midwest town adolescents network (Bearman et al. 2004), and ( f ) Colorado Springs risk network (Potterat et al. 2002).”
Yes, there is a correlation: - from social networks to personal behavior on the web (2008, neutral): “involving sexual relations and disease [2][8].”
Love, Sex, and Crime: Adolescent Romantic Relationships and Offending (2008, positive): “Most adolescents prefer romantic partners and sexual activities that do not jeopardize their status among their peers, and it is difficult to hide sexual affairs when much of high school life focuses on who is doing what with whom (Bearman, Moody, and Stovel 2004).”
The influence of social relationships on pro-environment behaviors (2012, neutral): “3 (Munshi [29], Calvó-Armengol and Jackson [7], Bearman, Moody, and Stovel [4], Bandiera and Rasul [3]; Jackson [20] presents the theory of networks and multiple applications in the social sciences.)”
Simulated Epidemics in an Empirical Spatiotemporal Network of 50,185 Sexual Contacts (2010, background): “Spatiotemporal heterogeneities in sexual contact patterns are thought to influence the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Since epidemics can be a society-wide phenomenon, and sexual contact patterns can have structure at all scales, we need population-level sexual network data to und”
The Structure and Function of Complex Networks (2003, background): “ is to understand the mechanisms by which diseases and other things (information, computer viruses, rumors) spread over them. For instance, the main reason for the study of networks of sexual contact [45, 154, 186, 218, 243, 265, 266, 303, 358] (Sec. II.A) is to help us understand and perhaps contro”
Obfuscatory Relational Work and Disreputable Exchange (2014, positive): “This is significant as previous research shows how small variations in micro-level heuristics lead to the emergence of dramatically different social structures (e.g., Bearman, Moody, and Stovel 2004; Guimerà et al. 2005; Martin 2009).”
