社交媒体经常揭示积极和消极关系之间复杂的相互作用。然而，这种复杂的相互作用模式的起源在很大程度上仍然难以捉摸。在本文中，我们研究第三方如何影响我们对他人的看法。我们的模型依赖于通过大规模模拟对所有三元关系进行分析，考虑到与共同朋友的影响和关系。我们证明，基于社会科学平衡理论的简单同伴影响机制能够迅速提高签名网络的平衡程度（平衡定义为正循环的比例），无论我们从哪个网络开始。此外，我们的结果表明，平衡状态的趋势还取决于网络连接性和符号的初始分布。
Social media often reveals a complex interplay between positive and negative ties. Yet, the origin of such complex patterns of interaction remains largely elusive. In this paper we study how third parties may sway our perception of others. Our model relies on the analysis of all triadic relations taking into account the influence and relations with common friends, through large-scale simulations. We show that a simple peer-influence mechanism, based on balance theory of social sciences, is able to promptly increase the degree of balance of a signed network—with balance defined as the fraction of positive cycles—irrespectively of the network we start from. Additionally, our results indicate that the tendency towards a balanced state also depends on the network connectivity and on the initial distribution of signs.
