Dynamics Analysis for the Random Homogeneous Biased Assimilation Model
Mathematics, 2023 This paper studies the evolution of opinions over random social networks subject to individual biases. An agent reviews the opinion of a randomly selected one and then updates its opinion under homogeneous biased assimilation. This study investigates the

Opinion Dynamics Under Conformity [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 We present a model of opinion formation where individuals repeatedly engage in discussion and update their opinion in a social network similarly to the DeGroot model. Abstracting from the standard assumption that individuals always report their opinion truthfully, agents in our model interact strategically in the discussion such that their stated ...

OPINION DYNAMICS AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2010 This paper examines the interplay of opinion exchange dynamics and communication network formation. An opinion formation procedure is introduced which is based on an abstract representation of opinions as k-dimensional bit-strings. Individuals interact if the difference in the opinion strings is below a defined similarity threshold dI. Depending on dI,

Opinion Evolution in Divided Community
Entropy, 2022 Our agent-based model of opinion dynamics concerns the current vast divisions in modern societies. It examines the process of social polarization, understood here as the partition of a community into two opposing groups with contradictory opinions.

Anisotropic opinion dynamics [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2016 We consider the process of opinion formation in a society of interacting agents, where there is a set B of socially accepted rules. In this scenario, we observed that agents, represented by simple feed-forward, adaptive neural networks, may have a conservative attitude (mostly in agreement with B) or liberal attitude (mostly in agreement with ...

OPINION DYNAMICS AND COLLECTIVE DECISIONS [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2018 We expect that democracy enables us to utilize collective intelligence such that our collective decisions build and enhance social welfare, and such that we accept their distributive and normative consequences. Collective decisions are produced by voting procedures which aggregate individual preferences and judgments.
