Abstract
It has been shown that humans are heavily influenced by peers when it comes to choice of behavior, norms or opinions. In order to better understand and help to predict society’s behavior, it is therefore desirable to design social simulations that incorporate representations of those network aspects. We address this topic, by investigating the performance of a coordination game mechanism in representing the diffusion of behavior for distinct data sets and diverse behaviors in children and adolescent social networks. We introduce a set of quality measurements in order to assess the adequacy of our simulations and find evidence that a coordination game environment could underlie some of the diffusion processes, while other processes may not be modeled coherently as a coordination game.
