我们已经习惯了在简单、简短的时间内来考虑情感。打个比方来说,我最近在纽约市演讲,其中说到:“当你在地铁上,车厢对面的人向你微笑时,你会下意识地回报以微笑。”他们看着我,说到:“我们纽约人才不会做那种事情。”我说:“世界上其他地方的人都会做,是人之常理。” 所以我们有一种很本能的方式在短时间内把情感传递给彼此。事实上,情感的传染可以更广阔一些,比如在暴乱中,我们会加强愤怒的表情。我们想要问的问题是:情感的传递能否超越地铁车厢上相互微笑的一小部分人,而是以比暴乱更持久的方式,长时间地在更多人之间传播?也许我们平静的表面下都蕴藏着某种时刻激荡着我们的某种暴乱。也许有某种情感蜂拥在社会网络中溅起涟漪。也许事实上,情感是有一种共有的存在性,不单单是个人的存在性。
And this is one of the first images we made to study this phenomenon. Again, a social network, but now we color the people yellow if they're happy and blue if they're sad and green in between. And if you look at this image, you can right away see clusters of happy and unhappy people, again, spreading to three degrees of separation. And you might form the intuition that the unhappy people occupy a different structural location within the network. There's a middle and an edge to this network, and the unhappy people seem to be located at the edges. So to invoke another metaphor, if you imagine social networks as a kind of vast fabric of humanity -- I'm connected to you and you to her, on out endlessly into the distance -- this fabric is actually like an old-fashioned American quilt, and it has patches on it: happy and unhappy patches. And whether you become happy or not depends in part on whether you occupy a happy patch.
