Sociophysics Simulations II: Opinion Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Individuals have opinions but can change them under the influence of others. The recent models of Sznajd (missionaries), of Deffuant et al. (negotiators), and of Krause and Hegselmann (opportunists) are reviewed here, while the voter and Ising models, Galam’s majority rule and the Axelrod multicultural model were dealt with by other lecturers at this 8th Granada Seminar.

Simulations usually ignore all details of the brain and represent the opinion by one or several numbers which can be changed due to contact with others. Sc...

متن کاملChanging Opinions in a Changing World: a New Perspective in Sociophysics
We propose a new model of opinion formation, the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model. Instead of investigating the conditions that allow consensus in a world of agents with different opinions, we study under which conditions a group of agents with a different natural tendency (rate) to change opinion can find agreement. The OCR is a modified version of the Kuramoto model, one of the simplest mode...
متن کاملHow to Convince Others ? Monte Carlo Simulations of the Sznajd Model
In the Sznajd model of 2000, a pair of neighbouring agents on a square lattice convinces its six neighbours of the pair opinion if and only if the two agents of the pair share the same opinion. It differs from other consensus models of sociophysics (Deffuant et al., Hegselmann and Krause) by having integer opinions like ±1 instead of continuous opinions. The basic results and the progress since...
