Research on aggregation and intervention strategy in opinion evolution

Abstract

Models and intervention strategies were established for opinion evolution, simulations and analysis were carried out. First, one dimension and two dimension models were established based on human behavioral patterns in real life, results of these two models made a good agreement with opinion evolution in real life and aggregation phenomenon emerged in the simulations. Second, two models of intervention strategies -- external pressure intervention strategy and embedded intervention strategy - were established based on the former opinion evolution models, simulations and analysis were done for these two models.
