Abstract: Although social behavior is complicated, there are always simple rules behind it, which can be depicted by mathematical models. This report uses the expanded Degroot model, evolutionary game model, fashion game model and threshold model as tools to model the social behavior, such as the spread and formation of social ideas, fraud and governance, attract attention by novelty and follow the trend, and manipulation of social emotions so that it can reveal the evolution process of these social behaviors and deepen the cognition of social behavior.
