Dynamics of structured attitudes and opinions

چکیده
Opinion dynamic models frequently assume an opinion to be a onedimensional concept and only sometimes vectors of opinions are considered. Contrary, psychological attitude theory considers an attitude to be a multidimensional concept, where each dimension is composed of beliefs and evaluative components. In this article we extend classic basic models of opinion dynamics such that they can capture this multidimensionality. We present models where individuals talk about different issues, e.g. evaluations or beliefs about the relation between objects and attributes. We present reinterpretations the results of previous simulations and we present results of simulations of new dynamics. Those new dynamics are based on a hierarchical approach to bounded confidence.

متن کاملModeling self-perception agents in an opinion dynamics propagation society
In previous continuous opinion dynamics models based on bounded confidence assumptions, individuals can only influence each other’s opinions when those opinions are sufficiently close; subsequently, agents construct their self-opinions using opinions collected from other agents. All of these models lack the element of an agent’s inner self-attitude. In this paper we describe our proposal for a ...
