Dynamics of opinion formation under majority rules on complex social networks [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 We study opinion dynamics on complex social networks where each individual holding a binary opinion on a certain subject may change her/his mind to match the opinion of the majority.

Out of sight out of mind: Psychological distance and opinion about the age of penal majority [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The growth of urban violence in Brazil, as in other countries, has led citizens to demand more severe and punitive measures to solve the problem of juvenile crime. One motion submitted to the Brazilian parliament, for instance, proposes to reduce the age

Biased Majority Opinion Dynamics: Exploiting Graph k-domination [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022 We study opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks where agents hold binary opinions and are influenced by their neighbors while being biased towards one of the two opinions, called the superior opinion.

Majority rules: how good are we at aggregating convergent opinions? [PDF]
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2019 Mathematical models and simulations demonstrate the power of majority rules, i.e. following an opinion shared by a majority of group members. Majority opinion should be followed more when (a) the relative and absolute size of the majority grow, the ...

Effect of Strong Opinions on the Dynamics of the Majority-Vote Model
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractWe study how the presence of individuals with strong opinions affects a square lattice majority-vote model with noise. In a square lattice network we perform Monte-Carlo simulations and replace regular actors σ with strong actors μ in a random distribution. We find that the value of the critical noise parameter q c

When the Majority is Wrong: Modeling Annotator Disagreement for Subjective Tasks [PDF]
Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2023 Though majority vote among annotators is typically used for ground truth labels in natural language processing, annotator disagreement in tasks such as hate speech detection may reflect differences in opinion across groups, not noise.

A note on the consensus time of mean-field majority-rule dynamics [PDF]
Papers in Physics, 2009 In this work, it is pointed out that in the mean-field version of majority-rule opinion dynamics the dependence of the consensus time on the population size exhibits two regimes.
