Dynamics of the Silence of Majority from the Perspective of Social Dilemma

چکیده
While previous researches have explained the silence of majority from the perspective of erroneous perception of being majority, this study regarded it as the result of strategic interactions between agents concerning willingness to express opinion. The social dilemma was used to describe it in that there is conflict between individual interest of not expressing and collective interest of being majority by expressing. An agent-based model has been built to explore the conditions and dynamics of the silence of majority. As a result, this study showed that the relationship between the payoff of being majority and that of keeping silent is crucial in the dynamics of the silence of majority.
