Our personal identity is composed of many dimensions, such as age, gender, ethnic background, or socioeconomic status. A research team led by Fariba Karimi from the Institute of Human-Centred Computing at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and Samuel Martin-Gutierrez from the Complexity Science Hub developed the statistical computational model “MAPS” to calculate the influence of these factors on our social relationships. The researchers have recently published a MAPS-based analysis of high school friendships and marriages in the US in the journal Communications Physics. The study shows that humans are extremely selective.
SUTD researchers used mobile phone GPS traces, street view imagery, and open-source spatial data to show that pedestrian route choices in a rapidly developing city are shaped far more by street conditions and context than by distance alone.
Frequent exposure to real-world firearm violence through media is associated with worse mental health outcomes, according to Rutgers researchers.
Their study, published in BMC Public Health, found that frequent exposure to firearm-related content is linked to higher levels of depression and more days of poor mental health among adults in the United States.
