Polarization is threatening the stability of democratic societies. Until now, polarization
research has focused on opinion extremeness, overlooking the correlation between different …

This study aims to better understand why farmers do not convert to organic farming by
studying decision trajectories in a dynamic agent‐based model. In this model, an agent's …

With this position paper the authors posit the need for a research area of Artificial Sociality.
In brief this means “computational models of the essentials of human social behaviour”; we …

Opinion dynamics are affected by cognitive biases and noise. While mathematical models
have focused extensively on biases, we still know surprisingly little about how noise shapes …

This paper describes an agent-based model that investigates group longevity in a
population in a foundational way, using theory on social relations and culture. The model is …

Opinion formation describes the dynamics of opinions in a group of interaction agents and is
a powerful tool for predicting the evolution and diffusion of the opinions. The existing opinion …

We propose an agent-based model leading to a decrease or an increase of hostility
between agents after a major cultural threat such as a terrorist attack. The model is inspired …

One of the main dimensions characterizing the unfolding of opinion formation processes in
social debates is the degree of open-mindedness of the involved population. Opinion …

This paper synthesises a recent research that includes opinion dynamics models and
experiments suggested by the model results. The mathematical analysis establishes that the …

Two phenomena that are central to simulation research on opinion dynamics are opinion
divergence—the result that individuals interacting in a group do not always collapse to a …
