Models of social influence: Towards the next frontiers
Abstract In 1997, Robert Axelrod wondered in a highly influential paper" If people tend to
become more alike in their beliefs, attitudes, and behavior when they interact, why do not all …

Local convergence and global diversity: From interpersonal to social influence
How can minority cultures resist assimilation into a global monolith in an increasingly “small
world”? Paradoxically, Axelrod found that local convergence can actually preserve global …

Mass media and its impact on opinion dynamics of the nonlinear q-voter model
With the success of general conceptual frameworks of statistical physics, many scholars
have tried to apply these concepts to other interdisciplinary fields, such as socio-politics …
