This paper seeks to make a theoretical and empirical case for the importance of
differentiated identities for group function. Research on groups has found that groups …

Social epistemology is the interdisciplinary inquiry into the myriad ways humans socially
acquire, create, construct, transmit, store, represent, revise, and review knowledge …

This article compares inference to the best explanation with Bayes's rule in a social setting,
specifically, in the context of a variant of the Hegselmann–Krause model in which agents not …

We study groups of interacting agents who are trying to discover probabilistic truths on the
basis of sequentially provided evidence and information about the belief states of other …

Opinion dynamics is nowadays a very common field of research. In this article we formulate
and then study a novel, namely strategic perspective on such dynamics: There are the usual …

The bounded confidence model has been widely used to formally study groups of agents
who are sharing opinions with those in their epistemic neighborhood. We revisit the model …

The bounded confidence model has become a popular tool for studying communities of
epistemically interacting agents. The model makes the idealizing assumption that all agents …

In this paper, I use a framework from computational linguistics, the Rational Speech Act
framework, to model deceptive probabilistic communication. This account allows agents to …

Strong social identity does not lead to lack of accountability and “bad” behavior in groups
and crowds but rather causes group behavior to be driven by group norms. The solution to …

The target article is plagued by imprecision, making it largely impossible to evaluate the
authors' theory in a scientific manner. Converging from many fields across the human …
