Abstract

This study combined the Social Science principles of homophily and social contagion within an approach to adaptive network modeling. The introduced adaptive temporal-causal network model incorporates both principles. This model was used to analyse an empirical data set concerning delinquency behaviour data among secondary school students. A mathematical analysis provided more in depth insight in the behavior of the model.
