如何成为一个极端主义者

How to be an extremist

Tomáš Fürst, Anna Minarovičová, Františka Sandroni, Jakub Dostál

摘要:

我们提出了一个玩具模型的意见传播的社会,结合了自我强化机制与扩散。这两种机制的相对强度-称为系统的可影响性-是模型的自由参数。该模型是运行在一个无标度网络和它的渐近行为进行了研究。一个令人惊讶的新兴效应被观察到:如果每个人都变得更加关注他人的意见,那么整个社会就会从多元的细微差别的意见转变为对极端意见的绝对共识。这种反直觉的涌现行为可能有助于解释人类历史上的某些悖论。

英文摘要:

We present a toy model of opinion spreading in a society which combines a self-reinforcing mechanism with diffusion. The relative strength of these two mechanisms - called the affectability of the system - is a free parameter of the model. The model is run on a scale-free network and its asymptotic behaviour is investigated. A surprising emergent effect is observed: If every individual becomes more attentive to the opinions of others, the society as a whole switches from a plurality of nuanced opinions into the state of an absolute consensus on an extreme opinion. This counter-intuitive emergent behaviour may help to explain certain paradoxes in human history.
