News Finding: The same effect can also be found in small communities where are simply fewer options for people to interact with.
Paper Finding: Most individuals (∼98%) have a value of µ > 0, meaning that their circles show the standard structure (Fig.
News Context: The researchers predicted this effect using a mathematical theory and then found that it held true in actual data gathered on the personal networks of isolated immigrant communities in Spain. The same effect can also be found in small communities where are simply fewer options for people to interact with. This is a notion the researchers point out that I can vouch for from personal experience.
Paper Context: In this community we anticipate that most individuals will follow the standard regime, as in previous studies . Most individuals (∼98%) have a value of µ > 0, meaning that their circles show the standard structure (Fig. These values of µ ( Fig.
