Effect of zealotry in high-dimensional opinion dynamics models.
Most of the work on opinion dynamics models focuses on the case of two or three opinion types. We consider the case of an arbitrary number of opinions in the mean field case of the naming game model in which it is assumed the population is infinite and all individuals are neighbors. A particular challenge of the naming game model is that the number of variables, which corresponds to the number ...
متن کاملThe influence of persuasion in opinion formation and polarization
We present a model that explores the influence of persuasion in a population of agents with positive and negative opinion orientations. The opinion of each agent is represented by an integer number k that expresses its level of agreement on a given issue, from totally against k = −M to totally in favor k = M . Same-orientation agents persuade each other with probability p, becoming more extreme...
متن کاملOpinion Dynamics with Varying Susceptibility to Persuasion
A long line of work in social psychology has studied variations in people’s susceptibility to persuasion – the extent to which they are willing to modify their opinions on a topic. This body of literature suggests an interesting perspective on theoretical models of opinion formation by interacting parties in a network: in addition to considering interventions that directly modify people’s intri...
متن کاملBayesian persuasion with heterogeneous priors
Abstract In a world in which rational individuals may hold di↵erent prior beliefs, a sender can influence the behavior of a receiver by controlling the informativeness of an experiment (public signal). We characterize the set of distributions of posterior beliefs that can be induced by an experiment, and provide necessary and su cient conditions for a sender to benefit from persuasion. We then ...
متن کاملKinetic models of opinion formation
We introduce and discuss certain kinetic models of (continuous) opinion formation involving both exchange of opinion between individual agents and diffusion of information. We show conditions which ensure that the kinetic model reaches non trivial stationary states in case of lack of diffusion in correspondence of some opinion point. Analytical results are then obtained by considering a suitabl...
