Purpose
The purpose of the Decision-Making, Social Networks, and Society Section is to encourage and enhance research, teaching and other professional concerns relating to the scope and limits of explaining macroscopic patterns like social inequalities, segregation, opinion polarization, or diffusion processes resulting from the complex interplay of decision-making processes and social network dynamics. The Section seeks to promote communication, collaboration, and consultation among scholars using formal and computational models, social network analysis, survey data, digital traces, and/or experimental design to investigate micro-macro linkages.
