International Journal of Communication, 2022 Using spiral of silence and social loafing theories, this study proposed a parallel mechanism to explain why people defend their stances on controversial sociopolitical issues through political consumption behaviors (i.e., boycott and buycott) when they

The Distribution of Climate Change Public Opinion in Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 While climate scientists have developed high resolution data sets on the distribution of climate risks, we still lack comparable data on the local distribution of public climate change opinions.

Concentrated burdens: how self-interest and partisanship shape opinion on opioid treatment policy [PDF]
, 2019 When does self-interest influence public opinion on contentious public policies? The bulk of theory in political science suggests that self-interest is only a minor force in public opinion.

Coevolution of agent’s behavior and noise parameters in majority vote game on multilayer networks
New Journal of Physics, 2019 In many real-world systems, agents’ behaviors are usually coupled with environmental changes. To model their coevolutionary process, we study a non-equilibrium model known as majority vote model coupled with reaction-diffusion processes on a two-layer ...

MAJORITY-VOTE MODEL ON OPINION-DEPENDENT NETWORK [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2013 We study a nonequilibrium model with up–down symmetry and a noise parameter q known as majority-vote model (MVM) of Oliveira 1992 on opinion-dependent network or Stauffer–Hohnisch–Pittnauer (SHP) networks. By Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and finite-size scaling relations the critical exponents β∕ν, γ∕ν and 1∕ν and points qc and U* are obtained.

Statistics of opinion domains of the majority-vote model on a square lattice
, 2010 The existence of juxtaposed regions of distinct cultures in spite of the fact that people's beliefs have a tendency to become more similar to each other's as the individuals interact repeatedly is a puzzling phenomenon in the social sciences.

The role of inflexible minorities in the breaking of democratic opinion dynamics [PDF]
, 2007 We study the effect of inflexible agents on two state opinion dynamics. The model operates via repeated local updates of random grouping of agents. While floater agents do eventually flip their opinion to follow the local majority, inflexible agents keep

Dynamics of latent voters [PDF]
, 2008 We study the effect of latency on binary-choice opinion formation models. Latency is introduced into the models as an additional dynamic rule: after a voter changes its opinion, it enters a waiting period of stochastic length where no further changes ...
