Video Introduction

Two of the main factors shaping an individual’s opinion are social coordination and personal preferences, or personal biases. To understand the role of these and that of the topology of the network of interactions, we study an extension of the voter model proposed by Masuda and Redner[1][2], where the agents are divided into two populations with conflicting preferences. We consider a modular graph with two communities that reflect the bias assignment, modeling the phenomenon of epistemic bubbles[3].
