title = "A Second-Order Adaptive Agent Network Model for Social Dynamics in a Classroom Setting",
abstract = "Alcohol consumption among young adolescents is problematic as health implications and behavioural changes are common consequences. Another problematic factor among young adolescents is the amount of delinquencies committed. In this paper an adaptive social agent network model using friendship relationships as predictor for alcohol consumption and amount of delinquencies committed is explored. The proposed agent network model was empirically validated using classroom data on young adolescents gathered by Knecht in Dutch schools. The agent network model is second-order adaptive and applies a bonding by homophily adaptation principle with adaptive adaptation speed describing clustering in friends networks based on the two aforementioned factors respectively.",
