我们从认知工程中提出并扩展了一种定性的复杂系统方法,称为抽象层次,以模拟社交媒体平台可能实施的潜在干预措施如何影响社会平等。社交媒体平台因其在延续社会不平等方面的作用而受到相当大的愤怒。然而,也有重要的证据表明,平台可以在减少社会不平等方面发挥作用,例如通过促进社会运动。此外,平台在制造或减少社会不平等方面的作用并非一成不变;平台可以而且经常采取行动,以积极的变化为目标。我们如何开发工具来帮助我们确定一个潜在的平台变化是否真的能促进社会平等?在这里,我们将抽象层次结构作为一种工具来帮助回答这个问题。我们的主要贡献有两方面。首先,在方法上,我们用网络科学的原理扩展了认知工程中抽象层次的现有研究。其次,从本质上讲,我们通过使用该方法来评估先前工作中提出的一系列干预措施的潜在有效性,以说明在线约会网站如何帮助减轻社会不平等,从而说明了该方法的实用性。
We propose and extend a qualitative, complex systems methodology from cognitive engineering, known as theabstraction hierarchy, to model how potential interventions that could be carried out by social media platforms might impact social equality. Social media platforms have come under considerable ire for their role in perpetuating social inequality. However, there is also significant evidence that platforms can play a role inreducingsocial inequality, e.g. through the promotion of social movements. Platforms’ role in producing or reducing social inequality is, moreover, not static; platforms can and often do take actions targeted at positive change. How can we develop tools to help us determine whether or not a potential platform change might actually work to increase social equality? Here, we present the abstraction hierarchy as a tool to help answer this question. Our primary contributions are two-fold. First, methodologically, we extend existing research on the abstraction hierarchy in cognitive engineering with principles from Network Science. Second, substantively, we illustrate the utility of this approach by using it to assess the potential effectiveness of a set of interventions, proposed in prior work, for how online dating websites can help mitigate social inequality.
