150N时代探析

Study on 150N Era

文中首先对150法则(邓巴数字)进行了介绍和考证,指出在当前的信息技术环境下,借助于现代通信技术和网络技术,使得人类保持稳定社交关系的最大值突破了150的限制。通过问卷调查的方式,得出现在人际稳定关系数目已经处于150-300之间的结论。并由此提出当今社会已经进入了150的新时代,当前正处于150X2时代。文中进一步预测,随着科学技术的发展,人类应该还可以进入150X3时代,甚至更高些,因为一个人管理社会关系的精力和时间是有限的。随着每个人社会关系的扩大,六度分隔理论的"度"数会降低,社会网络会更加扁平化,人们的联系将更加紧密,信息的流动将更加通畅。

The paper introduces and studies the rule of 150（Dunbar＇s number）,and points out that in the current information technology environment,the limitation set by 150 has been broken by the maximal value of maintaining people＇s stable social relations of by means of modern communication and network technology.By way of questionnaires,a conclusion has been reached that the values of interpersonal relationships are between 150 to 300.So the society has entered a new era of 150,and now exactly in the 150X2 era.The paper also further predicts that with the development of scientific and technology,human could also step into 150X3 era or more,because a person＇s energy and time which is used to manage the social relations is limited.With each person＇s social relations expanding,the ＂degree＂ number in the theory of the six degrees of separation may reduce,the social network becomes flat,then people＇s relations becomes closer,and the information flows more smoothly.
