Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the impact of different social network structures and structural properties on the tendency to trust inside networks. To this end, a series of virtual experiments with artificial networks have been carried out using computer simulations. The results underscore the profound effect of the structural properties (network density, link globalization index and Gini index of the distribution of links) and type of structure (regular, random and small world) of social networks on the tendency to trust among the agents of a network. In addition, Coleman’s theory on the control and surveillance of young people is evaluated to study the data provided by the virtual experiments with the previous artificial networks.
