中文简介:
先前的研究已经建立了一个人的行为（例如，与他人交往与关心自己的事情）与一个人的民族文化（例如，集体主义与个人主义）之间的联系，并且这些行为已被证明是重要的，因为它们与一个国家的经济成果（例如，国内生产总值）有着共同的联系。迄今为止，还没有任何系统研究一个人在推特上的行为（例如，决定何时发布消息）是否与一个人的文化（例如，国家的生活节奏）有关。为了解决这个问题，我们从推特上的55000名种子用户开始构建不同的网络快照，我们在30个国家（在过滤了渗透率低的国家之后）进行了10周的创建，总共创建了234万个个人资料。基于Hofstede的文化维度理论和Levine的生活节奏理论，我们考虑了推特上的三种行为模式（即推特的时间可预测性、与他人互动和支持不太受欢迎的人），并将它们与这两种理论衍生出的三个不同维度联系起来：生活节奏、个人主义和权力距离。我们发现了以下强相关性：活动可预测性与生活节奏呈负相关（r=-0.62），有提及的推文与个人主义负相关（r=0.55），关系中的权力（如推特受欢迎程度）不平衡（例如，两个用户相互提及）与权力距离相关（r=0.62）。这三个文化维度很重要，因为它们与一个国家的社会经济方面有关——人均国内生产总值、收入不平等和教育支出。
课程简介: Previous studies have established the link between one’s actions (e.g., engaging with others vs. minding one’s own business) and one’s national culture (e.g., collectivist vs. individualistic), and such actions have been shown to be important as they are collectively affiliated with a country’s economic outcomes (e.g., Gross Domestic Product). Hitherto there has not been any systematic study of whether one’s action on Twitter (e.g., deciding when to post messages) is linked to one’s culture (e.g., country’s Pace of Life). To fix that, we build different network snapshots starting from 55,000 seed users on Twitter, and we do so for 10 weeks across 30 countries (after filtering those with low penetration rates) for a total of 2.34Mprofiles. Based on Hofstede’s theory of cultural dimensions and Levine’s Pace of Life theory, we consider three behavioral patterns on Twitter (i.e., temporal predictability of tweets, engaging with others, and supporting others who are less popular) and associate them with three different dimensions derived from the two theories: Pace of Life, Individualism and Power Distance. We find the following strong correlations: activity predictability negatively correlates with Pace of Life (r = −0.62), tweets with mentions negatively correlates with Individualism (r = −0.55), and power (e.g, Twitter popularity) imbalance in relationships (between, for example, two users mentioning each other) is correlated with Power Distance (r = 0.62). These three cultural dimensions matter because they are associated with a country’s socio-economic aspects - with GDP per capita, income inequality, and education expenditure.
