<p>Dear FIS Colleagues,</p>
<p>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. <br>

<p> Nowadays, with our social nature confronted by very difficult
circumstances and challenges, one of them the massive "theft of
attention time" that all kind of screens perform-- we need new,
clearer concepts explaining our communication needs &
limitations. The sociotype construct --ultimately based on the
conceptual triad genotype, phenotype, sociotype-- might help.<br>

Best greetings--Pedro<br>

PS. Interested parties interested in cooperative fieldwork on the
sociotype may count with ad hoc questionnaires in English and in
Spanish. <br>
