Fig. 4: Total stigma experience as functions of network size and number of interactions in agents with low, average, and high initial social-stigma.
From: An integrated empirical and computational study to decipher help-seeking behaviors and vocal stigma
a Aggregated trends of mean total stigma scores. Each trend aggregated from 100 simulations initialized with social-stigma and network size. b Varying outcomes of mean total stigma score from individual simulations for VP agents with a high risk of voice disorders, high initial social-stigma, and no intervention within the 400-agent network size. The aggregated trend, the same as the VP group in Fig. 4a, for all 100 simulations is shown in bold. c A representative snapshot of simulated social networks with 400-VP agents near the maximal total stigma after 100,000 interactions in the 400-VP network. An agent’s social-stigma is color-coded from low (Green) to high (Red).
