Opinion Dynamics

, 2011
As a key sub-field of social dynamics and sociophysics, opinion dynamics utilizes mathematical and physical models and the agent-based computational modeling tools, to investigate the spreading of opinions in a collection of human beings.

Opinion dynamics on biased dynamical networks: Beyond rare opinion updating

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science
Opinion dynamics is of paramount importance as it provides insights into the complex dynamics of opinion propagation and social relationship adjustment. It is assumed in most of the previous works that social relationships evolve much faster than opinions. This is not always true in reality.

Consensus Strikes Back in the Hegselmann-Krause Model of Continuous Opinion Dynamics Under Bounded Confidence [PDF]

The agent-based bounded confidence model of opinion dynamics of Hegselmann and Krause (2002) is reformulated as an interactive Markov chain. This abstracts from individual agents to a population model which gives a good view on the underlying attractive ...

A Continuous Opinion Dynamics Model Based on the Principle of Meta-Contrast [PDF]

We propose a new continuous opinion dynamics model inspired by social psychology. It is based on a central assumption of self-categorization theory called principle of meta-contrast.

On the Role of Memory in Robust Opinion Dynamics

, 2023
We investigate opinion dynamics in a fully-connected system, consisting of n agents, where one of the opinions, called correct, represents a piece of information to disseminate.

Modeling social conformity and peer pressure in opinion dynamics: the role of dynamic interaction structures

Frontiers in Physics
With the advent of modern media platforms, the dissemination of information has become faster and more far-reaching than ever before. These platforms amplify susceptibility to societal influences, as individuals respond to widely circulating information ...

Opinion Dynamics and Bounded Confidence Models, Analysis and Simulation [PDF]

When does opinion formation within an interacting group lead to consensus, polarization or fragmentation? The article investigates various models for the dynamics of continuous opinions by analytical methods as well as by computer simulations.

Opinion Formation by Informed Agents [PDF]

Opinion formation and innovation diffusion have gained lots of attention in the last decade due to its application in social and political science. Control of the diffusion process usually takes place using the most influential people in the society ...

Continuous Time Opinion Dynamics with Opinion-Network Coevolution [PDF]

, 2023
Opinion polarization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in social systems, extensively documented in social media data. Existing models qualitatively demonstrate polarization's emergence through coevolving networks, integrating reinforcing mechanisms and ...

Mass Media and Polarisation Processes in the Bounded Confidence Model of Opinion Dynamics [PDF]

This paper presents a social simulation in which we add an additional layer of mass media communication to the social network \'bounded confidence\' model of Deffuant et al (2000).
