Understanding the social butterfly effect
the study of how we change our friends throughout our lives.
A team of scientists is interested in the fact that, despite the fleeting nature of many of our relationships, we often form cliques – circles of friends that are often friendly with each other. This could help us to understand why our society is made up of so many groups, from political to sporting.
The study also went a step further, looking at what happens when peoples’ interests change, for example someone might find a new interest or friends might influence one another.
“It was fascinating to see how the cliques could form without any one person organising everything. We saw individuals moving from one clique to another. Over time some cliques disappeared while new ones were established.”
