Opinion evolution in closed community
Sznajd-Weron, Katarzyna; Sznajd, Jozef - Hugo Steinhaus Center for Stochastic Methods, … - 2000
A simple Ising spin model which can describe a mechanism of making a decision in a closed community is proposed. It is shown via standard Monte Carlo simulations that very simple rules lead to rather complicated dynamics and to a power law in the decision time distribution. It is found that a...

Complexity in economic and social systems
Drożdż, Stanisław (contributor);  … - 2021
There is no term that better describes the essential features of human society than complexity. On various levels, from the decision-making processes of individuals, through to the interactions between individuals leading to the spontaneous formation of groups and social hierarchies, up to the...

When the Centre Becomes Radical
Randow, Gero von - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 6 (2003) 1, pp. 5-5
"Sociophysicists" provoke sociologists: new computer simulation models explain the mechanism which makes moderate individuals radicalise. It is sufficient to be a little self-confident and to keep contact with a few extremists to let extremists win a majority in society.

Discretized Opinion Dynamics of the Deffaunt Model on Scale-Free Networks
Stauffer, Dietrich; Sousa, Adriano; Schulze, Christian - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 7 (2004) 3, pp. 7-7
The consensus model of Deffuant et al is simplified by allowing for many discrete instead of infinitely many continuous opinions, on a directed Barabási-Albert network. A simple scaling law is observed. We then introduce noise and also use a more realistic network and compare the results....
