The role of conformity in opinion dynamics modelling with multiple social circles
ICCS (3)(2024)
Abstract
Interaction with others influences our opinions and behaviours. Our
activities within various social circles lead to different opinions expressed
in various situations, groups, and ways of communication. Earlier studies on
agent-based modelling of conformism within networks were based on a
single-layer approach. Contrary to that, in this work, we propose a model
incorporating conformism in which a person can share different continuous
opinions on different layers depending on the social circle. Afterwards, we
extend the model with more components that are known to influence opinions,
e.g. authority or openness to new views. These two models are then compared to
show that only sole conformism leads to opinion convergence.
