Abstract:
Online social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, provides users with services that enable them to interact both globally and instantly. The nature of social media interactions follows a constantly growing pattern that requires selection mechanisms to find and analyze interesting data. These interactions on social media can then be modeled into interaction networks, which enable network-based and graph-based methods to model and understand users’ behaviors on social media. These methods could also benefit the field of complex networks in terms of finding initial seeds in the inform

Interactive light systems create unique opportunities for different kinds of social interactions in public places. This thesis explores movement as the main interaction to discover and create new ways of engaging in social interaction as well as to encourage people of different age groups to come together and participate. To further explore and answer the questions in mind, different field studies such as interviews and user tests were implemented to gather information on how the pedestrian’s thoughts and actions were. The outcome of these field studies showed that there is a slight shyness in

Abstract:
The present PhD dissertation explores the effects of social interactions on individual’s behaviour (at the micro level) and the collective equilibrium emerging (at the macro level). Social interactions refer to situations where the payoff or utility an individual receives from a given action depends directly on the choices of others. More precisely, the first chapter explores the role that social interactions have on natives’ attitudes towards migrants in Latin American countries. In addition, the effects of other economic motives are also explored. The results found evidence that conformity b
