- Reposted by Marc Keuschnigg🧵1/6 New paper out in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social with @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social and Peter Hedström! We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals' behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals' initial preferences and the collective outcomes they bring about.
- Reposted by Marc Keuschnigg"We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals’ behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals’ initial preferences and the collective outcomes they jointly bring about." This month in our journal, @sociologicalsci.bsky.social
- For us, this journey toward explaining *surprising macro outcomes* took many years. Grateful to my amazing co-authors, @martinarvidsson.bsky.social and Peter Hedström, and to all the reviewers who supported us along the way 🚀Out now: sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...
- Analyzing 1M Spotify users, we show how “wide social influence” exposes people to content beyond their usual repertoires—decoupling collective outcomes from initial preferences. The key: partial taste overlap between senders and receivers. Too little similarity, no influence; too much, no novelty.
- "Wide social influence" hits the sweet spot, balancing exposure to novelty and willingness to adoption. This influence mechanism can make the unexpected happen, leading to cultural change 👉 sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...

Highlights: Dean Eckles on making effect sizes meaningful for decisions, and Kathleen Carley on how Network Science + AI can detect and mitigate online influence — and even generate synthetic data. Inspiring to see how her work still shapes mine after 20+ years.
