Abstract: There are growing interests for studying collective behavior including the dynamics of markets, the emergence of social norms and conventions and collective phenomena in daily life such as traffic congestion. In our previous work [Iwanaga and Namatame, Collective behavior and diverse social network,International Journal of Advancements in Computing Technology4(22) (2012) 321–320], we showed that collective behavior in cooperative relationships is affected in the structure of the social network, the initial collective behavior and diversity of payoff parameter. In this paper, we focus on scale-free network and investigate the effect of number of interactions on collective behavior. And we found that choices of hub agents determine collective behavior.
