Effect of leader's strategy on opinion formation in networked societies
نویسنده
چکیده
The work investigates the influence of leader's strategy on opinion formation in artificial networked societies. The strength of the social influence is assumed to be dictated by distance from one agent to another, as well as individual strengths of the agents. The leader is assumed to have much greater resources, which allows him to tune the way he influences the other agents. We study various strategies of using these resources to optimize the conditions needed to `convince' the whole society to leader's opinion. The flexibility of the model allows it to be used in studies of political, social and marketing influence and opinion formation.

Such networking paradigm allows to model many aspects of social behaviour with relatively simple computer models. The present work investigates the influence of single leaders on opinion formation within simulations of ...

Personalities and opinions of individuals constituting a social group in different stages of its development are used to be heterogeneous. The difference in opinions is indeed a motive to changes in a social group. So, the study of opinion dynamics is of grea...
متن کاملSocio-cultural Evolution of Opinion Dynamics in Networked Societies
This paper introduces a modeling paradigm based on a language theoretic framework for stochastic simulation of decision-making in a social setting, where choices and decisions by individuals are increasingly being influenced by a person’s online social interactions. In this paper, the dynamics of opinion formation in a networked society have been studied with a joint model that bridges micro-le...
متن کاملEmergence of social norms through collective learning in networked agent societies
Social norms play a pivotal role in sustaining social order by regulating individual behaviors in a society. In normative multiagent systems, social norms have been used as an efficient mechanism to govern virtual agent societies towards cooperation and coordination. In this paper, we study the emergence of social norms via learning from repeated local interactions in networked agent societies....
