Abstract

Social hierarchy plays an important role in shaping the way individuals interacting with each other. In this study, we propose three metrics: equality, diversity, and reciprocity to evaluate the social hierarchical differences in cross-ideological communication on Twitter. We do this within the context of three diverse conflicts: Israel-Palestine, US Democrats-Republicans, and FC Barcelona-Real Madrid. In all cases, we collect data around a central pair of Twitter accounts representing the two main parties. Our results show in a quantitative manner that social hierarchy can be considered a factor that impacts individual's communication in Twitter conflicts. As one of the first literatures in this area, we demonstrate social hierarchy's effect in online environments.
