In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear FIS Colleagues, We have just published a study on the "Quantitative Sociotype". Basically it tries to respond to two basic questions: How much do we talk? With whom do we talk? The data are taken from the same survey and filedwork we used to define the Sociotype Questionnaire (a "qualitative" test that gauges the whole sociality of the individual). One of the intriguing results is that the statistical of number of contacts and talking time seem to respond to the Planckian distribution equation, PDE, that our colleague Sungchul Ji, one of the co-authors, has extended to a number of biological phenomena. Telling that our contacts may follow the same Planckian equation than the electromagnetic frequencies of the black body radiation competing for the same energy span sounds pretty esoteric--but it may be the case! The PDE refers to a competition among frequencies, and in our case to a competition for attention time. Our social bonds are maintained and actualized mainly by face-to-face conversation and also by other communicative surrogates, but our whole communication time is limited and we have to opt... Underlying every conversation of ours there is both an adaptive necessity and a communicative optimization in order to keep a decent sociotype.

The sociotype construct --ultimately based on the conceptual triad genotype, phenotype, sociotype-- might help. Best greetings--Pedro PS. Interested parties interested in cooperative fieldwork on the sociotype may count with ad hoc questionnaires in English and in Spanish. ------------------------------------------------- Pedro C.
