为什么更多的接触可能会增加文化两极分化
Why more contact may increase cultural polarization
摘要：
根据阿克塞尔罗德的文化传播模型，文化影响的正式计算研究表明，地理上遥远的地区之间的更多接触可能会增加整体文化的同质性，减少社会两极分化。在本文中，我们表明，阿克塞尔罗德的原始机制的两个合理的修改把通信范围的影响颠倒过来。我们假设一个连续的状态空间，而不是一个名义上的状态空间，我们添加了社会影响的负面影响，异性恋恐惧症和拒绝。对所得模型的计算分析表明，现在更大范围的接触可以增加而不是减少人口中的极化程度。进一步的实验确定了获得效果的条件窗口。
英文摘要：
Following Axelrod's model of cultural dissemination, formal computational studies of cultural influence have suggested that more contact between geographically distant regions may increase overall cultural homogeneity and reduce societal polarization. In the present paper, we show that two plausible modifications of Axelrod's original mechanism turn the effect of range of communication upside-down. We assume a continuous rather than a nominal state space and we add the negative side of social influence, heterophobia and rejection. Computational analyses of the resulting model demonstrate that now a larger range of contact can increase rather than decrease the extent of polarization in the population. Further experiments identify the window of conditions under which the effect obtains.
