Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Reactive PublishingIn the complex tapestry of social life, traditional sociological methods often struggle to capture the dynamic, emergent patterns that arise from individual interactions. Sociology with Agent-Based Modeling introduces a powerful computational approach that bridges classical sociological theory with modern simulation techniques.This book provides sociologists, social scientists, and computational researchers with practical tools to model, analyze, and understand how simple rules at the micro level can generate complex social phenomena at the macro level. Through clear explanations and hands-on examples, readers will learn how to build and experiment with agent-based models (ABMs) to study emergence, social complexity, collective behavior, and system-level outcomes.Key topics include: - Core principles of agent-based modeling and its relevance to sociological inquiry- Designing agents, environments, and interaction rules- Simulating key social processes such as cooperation, inequality, norm formation, diffusion, and network dynamics- Tools and frameworks for implementing models in Python and other accessible platforms- Methods for validating, visualizing, and interpreting simulation results- Bridging theoretical sociology with computational experimentationWritten for both newcomers to computational methods and experienced researchers seeking to expand their toolkit, this work emphasizes conceptual clarity and reproducible research practices. Whether exploring urban segregation, opinion dynamics, organizational behavior, or large-scale social change, readers will gain the foundational skills needed to investigate social emergence through rigorous simulation.Ideal for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and academics in sociology, complexity science, computational social science, and related fields.…
