Fig. 6: Network structure analysis of network size effects on IMB and vocal stigma.

From: An integrated empirical and computational study to decipher help-seeking behaviors and vocal stigma

Fig. 6

a Distribution of an average number of peer links (degree of nodes) by network size. b Distribution of average local clustering coefficient by network size. c Total IMB values decrease as a function of an average number of peer links, which is highly correlated with network size. A clear bifurcation appears around 4.5 peer links. d Total stigma values increase as a function of an average number of peer links. No bifurcation appears. However, distributions show a larger range of changing stigma values for more peer links. Note all panels show all 4000 simulations; panels (a, b) plot distribution of all 500 for each network size, while panels (c, d) plot all each simulation results individually for a total n = 4000.
