Fig 3. Two consecutive snapshots of 1st to 2nd survey in day 1, with the transient social network.

Nodes are participants who filled both surveys. Edge thickness is proportional to contact intensity (IR hits) between surveys. Colors represent state levels (red:low, yellow:medium, green:high) and are shown only for egos 1–4 and their alters. The four types of social influence discussed in the text can be seen: ego 1 moved from the neutral level to the high level in the presence of interaction with an alter in the neutral level (push). Ego 2 remained in the high level in correspondence to intense contact with an alter in the high level (inertia). Ego 3 was in the low level and moved to neutral after intense contact with alters in the high level (attraction). Remarkably, the three egos have low scores in their corresponding traits. Ego 4 remained in the low level after contact with an alter in the high level (repulsion). The represented states are creativity for node 1, extraversion for nodes 2 and 4 and agreeableness for node 3.
