Conspiratorial Beliefs Observed through Entropy Principles

Entropy, 2015
We propose a novel approach framed in terms of information theory and entropy to tackle the issue of the propagation of conspiracy theories. We represent the initial report of an event (such as the 9/11 terroristic attack) as a series of strings of ...

Econophysics and Sociophysics: Trends and Perspectives

, 2006
Using tricks to handle coupled nonlinear dynamical many-body systems, several advancements have already been made in understanding the behavior of markets/economic/social systems and their dynamics.

Modelling Opinion Formation with Physics Tools: Call for Closer Link with Reality [PDF]

The growing field of studies of opinion formation using physical formalisms and computer simulation based tools suffers from relative lack of connection to the 'real world' societal behaviour.

The Sociophysics of Theopolitics: Nature, Cuture & Human Suffering [PDF]

, 2004
This presentation discusses the interactive role that religion and politics play in certain aspects of the human condition. The question in this context is what happens in society when religious factors enter politics and politics uses religion to ...

Are referendums a mechanism to turn our prejudices into rational choices?: An unfortunate answer from sociophysics

, 2018
This chapter shows that a referendum, whatever the issue at stake, is a mechanism to turn our prejudices and fears into rational choices. To predict the outcome requires identifying the prejudices and fears which are prominent at the moment the ...

The Influence of Lobbies: Analyzing Group Consensus from a Physics Approach

Physics
In this paper, we study the influence of a small group of agents (i.e., a lobby) that is trying to spread a rumor in a population by using the known model proposed by Serge Galam.

Sociophysics model of bubbles with neural-stochastic differential equations : a stochastic inflation model

This chapter gives an overview of new results concerning a sociophysics’ theory of bubbles. Following a seminal contribution by (Herzog 2015), we generalize the approach to nonlinear stochastic differential equations.

The time evaluation of resistance probability of a closed community against occupation in a Sznajd-like model with synchronous updating: A numerical study

, 2004
In the present paper, we have briefly reviewed Sznajd's sociophysics model and its variants, and we also have proposed a simple Sznajd-like sociophysics model based on Ising spin system to explain the time evaluation of resistance probability of a closed

PHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL DYNAMICS: A SOCIOPHYSICS PERSPECTIVE

Scientific Journal of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
Sociophysics is an interdisciplinary field that uses methods from the physical sciences to study human behavior and interactions. It includes mathematical and computational techniques such as big data analysis, statistical modeling, network theory, and simulations. It analyzes complex systems to understand the dynamics of society.

Sociophysics: an introduction

, 2014
This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible applications of statistical physics tools.
