CHANGING OPINIONS IN A CHANGING WORLD: A NEW PERSPECTIVE IN SOCIOPHYSICS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2005 We propose a new model of opinion formation, the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model. Instead of investigating the conditions that allow consensus in a world of agents with different opinions, we study the conditions under which a group of agents with different natural tendency (rate) to change opinion can find agreement. The OCR is a modified version of

Impact of the Network Size and Frequency of Information Receipt on Polarization in Social Networks
Complexity, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Opinion Dynamics is an interdisciplinary area of research. Disciplines of Psychology and Sociology have proposed models of how individuals form opinions and how social interactions influence this process. Sociophysicists have interpreted the observed patterns in opinion formation in individuals as arising out of nonlinearity in the underlying process ...

Are Socio-Econo-Physical Models Better to Explain Biases in Societies? [PDF]
Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2018 In this work, we review various dynamical models in socio-econo-physics, and discuss their roles in understanding socio-economic biases. We deal with fairness in nations, wealth distributions in nations, elections’ dynamics and tax evasion models.

Sociophysics - an astriding science
, 2008 The status of the sociophysics is discussed as placed between the physics and the sociology. In particular we ask if the second law of thermodynamics can be useful in social sciences.

Consensus formation Online using Sociophysics method
CoRR, 2019 Consensus formation and difference of opinion have long been the subject of research. However, relevant laws and systems within society are being updated to reflect the changes in information networks. Online environment has come to fulfill a major role as a real and concrete place of opposing opinions and consensus formation.
