摘要

该研究旨在展示一种可以提高个人在所属集体中的归属感的新方法。该方法主要以数学理论分支--图论的概念应用为基础。图论的概念和计算可以用来理解网状关系中的事物和事物关系结构。在该研究中将因参与某活动而聚集在一起进行互动的个体作为研究对象。具体来说，我们将该分析方法用于无陪伴的外国未成年，也就是说没有成年人监护或指引的从外国来到新国家西班牙创建新生活的儿童。该研究的主要目的之一是提高儿童融入集体的归属感，这个集体也包含了该项目下不同特点（年龄、源国家、在西班牙的时间）的其他儿童。使用多样性实验指数进行分析，得到每个个体与其他有特质的个体之间的互动数量。分析得到的指数数值也可以为项目中的儿童提出未来互动建议，以此来达到提升他们归属感的目的
