Opinion Dynamics and Communication Networks
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 , different behaviour of the population is...
متن کاملSimulating Opinion Dynamics in Heterogeneous Communication
Since the information available is fundamental for our perceptions and opinions, we are interested in understanding the conditions allowing for a good information to be disseminated. This paper explores opinion dynamics by means of multi-agent based simulations when agents get informed by different sources of information. The scenario implemented includes three main streams of information acqui...
متن کاملOpinion Dynamics and Learning in Social Networks
We provide an overview of recent research on belief and opinion dynamics in social networks. We discuss both Bayesian and non-Bayesian models of social learning and focus on the implications of the form of learning (e.g., Bayesian vs. non-Bayesian), the sources of information (e.g., observation vs. communication), and the structure of social networks in which individuals are situated on three k...
متن کاملAnalyzing Opinion Dynamics in Online Social Networks
In this paper, we examine the challenge of performing analyses of opinion dynamics in online social networks. We present a model for studying the influence exerted by peers within the network, emphasizing the role that skepticism can play with respect to establishing consensus of opinion. From here, we focus on some key extensions to the model, with respect to the nature of peers (their familia...
متن کاملBenefits of diversity, communication costs, and public opinion dynamics
We study the dynamics of public opinion in a model where agents change their opinions as a result of random binary encounters if the opinion difference is below their individual thresholds that evolve over time.We ground these thresholds in a simple individual cost-benefit analysis with linear benefits of diversity and quadratic communication costs. We clarify and deepen the results of earlier ...
