The degree of behaviour modification appeared to vary according to the severity of the harm that participants anticipated occurring as a result.
This conceptualization may help predict the type and degree of behaviour in which individuals engage to change their physical appearance and come closer to the masculine ideal (Mishkind et al. 1987 ).

However, the Yeast-CORE PPI network, which is considered to be high confidence and has a high conservation of interactions between proteins of the same compartment [ 29], exhibits a high level of degree-weighted behaviour.
Thus, even though the high-degree nodes (or hub proteins) do not seem to obey degree-weighted behaviour, they still prefer to interact with each other rather than with lower-degree proteins.
Having demonstrated that PPI networks exhibit degree-weighted behaviour up to a certain value of the degree product k1 k2, we turn our attention to these nonconforming regions of the networks.
The degree-weighted behaviour is manifested throughout the protein-protein interaction networks studied here, except for the high-degree, or hub, interaction areas.
To illustrate the concept of inherent randomness in networks displaying degree-weighted behaviour, we show how Erdös-Rényi (ER) random graphs [ 10, 11] also exhibit a degree-weighted characteristic.
We analyzed the extent of degree-weighted behaviour in this ER model by computing the probabilities P k1, k2) of interaction between two proteins of degrees k1 and k2 over 104 realizations of the network.
In particular, the remarks by Touchstone in As You Like It, in which the court jester talks about the seven degrees of behaviour in a quarrel: "The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the Countercheque Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct".
