Peer observation can influence social norm perceptions as well behavior in various moral domains, but is the tendency to be influenced by and conform with peers domain-general? In an online experiment (N = 815), we studied peer effects honesty cooperation tested individual-level links between these two domains. Participants completed both tasks after observing their peers. Consistent literature...

Current unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems lack fair topology structures, and take no consideration for malicious behaviors of peers. The main reason is that the topology is not sensitive to peer’s trust, and cannot accommodate heterogeneity of peers over the network. Thus, a feedback credibility based global trust model is presented in this paper. Then, based on the trust model, an adapti...

We propose an efficient search scheme based on a self-organizing hierarchical ring structure in unstructured peer-to-peer systems. Our solution maintains a consistent super-peer ratio and makes the peers with relatively high capacities super-peers in dynamic environments. The benchmarking results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the static algorithm that has the fixed number of rend...

Open discussion and participation of the scientific community are vital to the evolution of Peerage of Science and, therefore, the letter in TREE by Hettyey et al. [1] is much appreciated. Here, we reply to the three conceptual concerns that they raise. Other responses and open discussion can be found on the Peerage of Science blog (http:// the Board itself is accountable to the community of Pe...

INTRODUCTION This study explored the association between unsupervised time with peers and adolescent smoking behavior both directly and indirectly through interaction with delinquent peers, social expectancies about cigarette smoking, and cigarette offers from peers. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was used for the study and included 248 male and female middle school students. RESULTS Resu...
