Wide Social Influence and the Emergence of the Unexpected: An Empirical Test Using Spotify Data
Article: Wide Social Influence and the Emergence of the Unexpected: An Empirical Test Using Spotify Data | Sociological Science | Posted October 23, 2025
🧵1/6
New paper out in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social with @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social and Peter Hedström! We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals' behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals' initial preferences and the collective outcomes they bring about.

"We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals’ behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals’ initial preferences and the collective outcomes they jointly bring about."
This month in our journal, @sociologicalsci.bsky.social

Analyzing 1M Spotify users, we show how “wide social influence” exposes people to content beyond their usual repertoires—decoupling collective outcomes from initial preferences. The key: partial taste overlap between senders and receivers. Too little similarity, no influence; too much, no novelty.

For us, this journey toward explaining *surprising macro outcomes* took many years. Grateful to my amazing co-authors, @martinarvidsson.bsky.social and Peter Hedström, and to all the reviewers who supported us along the way

Returning from #ic2s2 feels a bit like coming home from summer camp at 14: exhausted, inspired, and already missing the many new friends

The 11th #IC2S2 kicked off today! Highlights: Dean Eckles on making effect sizes meaningful for decisions, and Kathleen Carley on how Network Science + AI can detect and mitigate online influence — and even generate synthetic data. Inspiring to see how her work still shapes mine after 20+ years.
