Outline of Research at the Start

本研究の目的は計算社会科学と社会学理論を架橋する基盤を構築し、両分野の研究を高度化することである。このために、(1)社会学の主要社会理論のフォーマライズ、(2)それらを取り入れた計算社会科学的分析、(3)その分析によって得られた知見を用いた社会学理論の展開を行う。
たとえば、社会秩序には行為者が相互に行為を調整する行為的秩序とその調整をすべきであるという意味的秩序がある。そして両者は相互強化の関係にある。この関係に着目して、行為レベルだけでなく主観レベルでも学習するエージェントをコンピュータ上に多数生成し、その相互作用に着目するエージェント・ベースト・モデルを構築する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to build a theoretical foundation that bridges computational social science, which has been thriving in recent years, and sociological theory, thereby advancing research in both fields. To achieve this purpose, the study focuses on the important sociological concepts of "meaning" and "interpretation," exploring strategies to appropriately incorporate them into computational social science. Specifically, it was revealed that it is possible to construct agent-based models that assume agents who interpret meaning of actions of other agents, and to develop sociological models of meaning construction by applying computational language models that explicitly incorporate meaning to digital trace data.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究を開始した当時は、計算社会科学と社会学とのつながりは必ずしも良好ではなかった。その原因の1つは前者が主に行動に関するデジタルトレースデータを対象としていたのに対し、後者は人々の行動や行為の意味を解釈する過程を重視していたからである。しかし計算社会科学の強力なパワーを社会学に生かさないことは両者にとって望ましくなかった。
この状況を打破するために立ち上げた本研究の成果は、学術的には、計算社会科学と社会学の交流を促進し、新しい研究分野を生み出すのに貢献している。また社会的には、多くの領域で社会実装されている計算社会科学の手法に社会学的発想を組み入れることでより深い人間社会の理解に貢献する。
