The structural origins of the conservative online media niche, US Twitter 2022
We investigate why conservative online news media are often seen as niche, whereas liberal outlets have ideologically broader audiences. We examine two explanatory mechanisms for this asymmetry. The behavioral explanation focuses on differences in homophily, where one ideological camp would be exposed to more cross-cutting content due to more diverse networking preferences. The structural explanation highlights how a platform’s user base places s…
Wide Social Influence and the Emergence of the Unexpected: An Empirical Test Using Spotify Data
Social-influence processes not only affect the rate at which behaviors spread but can also decouple adoption behavior from individual preferences, and thereby bring about unexpected collective outcomes that cannot be predicted on the basis of the initial likes and dislikes of the individuals involved. However, the conditions under which social influence can lead to such decoupling are not well understood. We identify a social-influence mechanism …
Ethnic preferences, opportunity structures, and the school segregation process
Previous research has shown that parents often have strong ethnicity-related school preferences, and it has been suggested that these preferences are consequential for the ethnic segregation of schools. In this article, we study all students enrolled in compulsory schooling in the Stockholm region during the years 2008 to 2017. Using a combination of statistical analyses of school choices and large-scale, empirically calibrated simulations, we in…
On the Intersection of Analytical Sociology and Computational Social Science
Analytical sociology is concerned with mechanism-based explanations of collective phenomena in socially interdependent systems. Social interdependencies make identifying the processes that generate collective outcomes a challenging task, however, and their study typically requires research designs that differ from those traditionally used by sociologists. The availability of time-stamped networked datasets, the rapid progress in computational pow…
Urban scaling laws arise from within-city inequalities
Theories of urban scaling have demonstrated remarkable predictive accuracy at aggregate levels. However, they have overlooked the stark inequalities that exist within cities. Human networking and productivity exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, with some individuals contributing disproportionately to city totals. Here we use micro-level data from Europe and the United States on interconnectivity, productivity and innovation in cities. We find tha…
Using Eye-Tracking Technology to Quantify the Effect of Experience and Education on Forensic Anthropological Analyses
The human interpretation of analytical outputs is a significant challenge in forensic science, making it vital to explore the application of protocols as we enhance our practices. This study assesses decision making in forensic anthropological analyses utilizing eye-tracking technology to quantify an observer's estimate of confidence and reliability. Ten individuals with varying levels of education and experience were asked to score cranial morph…
