The average risk of smoking at one degree of separation (i.e., smoking by a friend) was 61% higher, 29% higher at two degrees of separation and 11% higher at three degrees of separation. Line = a relationship between two people more embedded = central less embedded = periphery Node = a person “embedded”: the degree to which a person is connected within a network Terms • Contagion: what flows across ties (germs, money, violence, fashions, organs, happiness, obesity, etc.) • Connection: who is connected to whom (ties to family, friends, co-workers, etc.) • Homophily: the tendency to associate with people who resemble ourselves (“love of being alike”) The Obesity “Epidemic” • 66% of Americans are overweight or obese • From 1990 to 2000, the percentage of obese people in the USA increased from 21% to 33% Donut Or Lettuce for Lunch?
