Fluctuations and Disagreement in Social Networks
We study a stochastic gossip model of continuous opinion dynamics in a society consisting of two types of agents: regular agents, who update their beliefs according to information that they receive from their social neighbors; and stubborn agents, who never update their opinions and might represent leaders, political parties or media sources attempting to influence the beliefs in the rest of th...
متن کاملOpinion dynamics in social networks with stubborn agents: an issue-based perspective
Classic models on opinion dynamics usually focus on a group of agents forming their opinions interactively over a single issue. Yet generally agreement can not be achieved over a single issue when agents are not completely open to interpersonal influence. In this paper, opinion formation in social networks with stubborn agents is considered over issue sequences. The social network with stubborn...
متن کاملDecline of minorities in stubborn societies
Opinion compromise models can give insight into how groups of individuals may either come to form consensus or clusters of opinion groups, corresponding to parties. We consider models where randomly selected individuals interact pairwise. If the opinions of the interacting agents are not within a certain confidence threshold, the agents retain their own point of view. Otherwise, they constructi...
متن کاملOpinion Fluctuations and Disagreement in Social Networks
We study a tractable opinion dynamics model that generates long-run disagreements and persistent opinion fluctuations. Our model involves a inhomogeneous stochastic gossip process of continuous opinion dynamics in a society consisting of two types of agents: regular agents, who update their beliefs according to information that they receive from their social neighbors; and stubborn agents, who ...
متن کاملDiscrete-Time Polar Opinion Dynamics with Susceptibility
This paper considers a discrete-time opinion dynamics model in which each individual’s susceptibility to being influenced by others is dependent on her current opinion. We assume that the social network has time-varying topology and that the opinions are scalars on a continuous interval. We first propose a general opinion dynamics model based on the DeGroot model, with a general function to des...
