Social Modeling

Social modeling is a method used to understand and predict how people behave and interact within a community or society. It involves creating representations—often using data, patterns, and simulations—that reflect social dynamics, such as relationships, decision-making, and norms. By studying these models, researchers and policymakers can gain insights into societal trends, anticipate outcomes of social changes, or develop strategies to improve community well-being. Essentially, social modeling helps us grasp complex human interactions in a structured way, enabling better decision-making for social development and policy planning.
