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 ...

A Survey on Nonstrategic Models of Opinion Dynamics
Games, 2020 The paper presents a survey on selected models of opinion dynamics. Both discrete (more precisely, binary) opinion models as well as continuous opinion models are discussed. We focus on frameworks that assume non-Bayesian updating of 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.

Dynamical model for competing opinions [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2012 We propose an opinion model based on agents located at the vertices of a regular lattice. Each agent has an independent opinion (among an arbitrary, but fixed, number of choices) and its own degree of conviction. The latter changes every time it interacts with another agent who has a different opinion.

Whither Now, Opinion Modelers?
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 The article describes the current status and potential directions of development of agent-based models of social opinion dynamics. Despite extensive effort, the models achieve, at best, only qualitative agreement with social observations.

Asynchronous opinion dynamics on the $k$-nearest-neighbors graph [PDF]
, 2018 This paper is about a new model of opinion dynamics with opinion-dependent connectivity. We assume that agents update their opinions asynchronously and that each agent's new opinion depends on the opinions of the $k$ agents that are closest to it.
