Title: 我们如何对待我们的同事? 面对面关系中的普遍行为

Abstract: We compare face-to-face interaction data recorded by wearable sensors in various sociological environments. The interactions among individuals display a clear environment-dependent diversity in agreement with previous analyses. The contact durations follow heavy-tailed distributions although not exactly of power-law type as previously suggested. Guided by the common patterns observed for each relation, we introduce a variable named the duration contrast, which reveals a common behavior among all datasets. This suggests that our tendency to spend more or less time than usual with a given individual in a face-to-face relation is not governed by social rules but by a common human trait. Additional data shows that it is the same for baboons. Furthermore, we propose a new kind of model to describe the contacts in a given relation based on the recently introduced concept of Levy Geometric Graphs. It reproduces the data at an impressive level. The associated Levy index is found to be alpha = 1.1 on all the datasets, suggesting a universal law for primates and opening many exciting perspectives. Show Chinese abstract

Abstract: 我们比较了在不同社会学环境中由可穿戴传感器记录的面对面互动数据。 个体之间的互动在协议方面显示出与之前分析一致的环境依赖性多样性。 接触持续时间遵循重尾分布，尽管如之前所建议的并非严格符合幂律类型。 根据每种关系中观察到的共同模式，我们引入了一个名为持续时间对比的变量，该变量揭示了所有数据集中的共同行为。 这表明我们在面对面关系中与特定个体相处时间多于或少于平常的情况并非由社会规则支配，而是由一种共同的人类特质决定的。 额外的数据显示，这种现象也存在于狒狒身上。 此外，我们提出了一种新的模型来描述给定关系中的接触，该模型基于最近提出的Levy几何图概念。 它以令人印象深刻的程度再现了数据。 相关Levy指数在所有数据集中被发现为alpha = 1.1，这表明灵长类动物存在普遍规律，并开启了众多令人兴奋的研究前景。
