人类接触行为实证研究综述

A Survey of Empirical Research on Human Contact Patterns

介绍了当前已有的针对人类接触行为模式的实证研究,总结各研究中一致发现的普适规律,如人类接触行为具有高度同配性、特定社会场合下的接触网络具有典型的小世界特性以及接触时间分布呈幂律特性等,这些规律的发现可以指导传染病动力学建模、复杂网络、流行病学等领域的相关研究。

This paper surveys the results of existing empirical research and summarizes universal laws,such as,human contact patterns are highly assortative,social contact network in certain social context population exhibits typical small-world feature,duration of human interaction follows power-law distribution,etc.The discovery of these laws may guide studies on infectious disease modeling,complex networks,epidemiology and other fields.
