在线辩论网络中的互动行为分析

Analysis of Interactive Behavior of Online Debate Network

社交媒体是人们表达观点、参与社会公共事务讨论的重要渠道.由于对热点事件或社会问题的看法和立场不同,网络用户常分成不同的阵营在网络平台上展开讨论,从而形成在线辩论网络.文章以天涯论坛中的``中医废存之争"热帖为实例构建辩论网络,结合用户立场分别从二元组和三元组两个方面对在线辩论网络中的互动行为进行分析.首先分析了立场相同个体与立场相反个体之间双向互动的差异情况.进一步分析辩论网络中各三元组形成机制,展示了三元组演化过程中各阶段的分布.最后讨论了3个节点之间的结构平衡.结果表明在线网络提供的辩论空间能够促成不同立场的个体进行对话,而且不同立场个体之间的回应比相同立场个体之间的回应更加迅速,说明在社交网络平台中人们不只是选择那些强化自己观点或具有相同立场的人互动,而是倾向于与持有不同观点的人互动.
