This comprehensive textbook offers a thorough and theory-driven introduction to key mathematical and agent-based models of social dynamics and cultural evolution. It empowers readers to build their own models, analyze them, and integrate them with empirical research programs. Spanning a diverse range of modeling topics, each exemplified by one or more archetypal models, the book helps readers develop strong theoretical foundations for understanding social behavior.
Modeling Social Behavior serves as a valuable tool kit for social, behavioral, and cognitive scientists seeking to understand and study complex social systems through mathematical and computational models. It combines both mathematical and agent-based modeling approaches, integrating cognitive science, social science, and cultural evolution. The book covers a wide array of topics, including the philosophy of modeling, collective movement, segregation, contagion, polarization, the evolution of cooperation, the emergence of norms, networks, and the scientific process. Additionally, it delves into more advanced topics, such as how models can be used to enhance the robustness of empirical research programs.
Designed as an ideal introductory textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, this resource is also an invaluable resource for practitioners in the field. By providing a comprehensive and accessible overview of these modeling techniques, it equips readers with the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to the study of social behavior and its evolution.
