摘要

摘要：我们建立了一个具有本地意见领袖的意见扩散模型，并通过模拟表明，尽管个体高度顺从，但在表现出同质性的两个群体的意见之间存在显著分歧的可能性。意见领袖所属的群体与其他群体之间存在意见差距。这种意见差距随着居住社区的相对规模而增加。我们展示了与我们的模拟相关的经验特征：使用2008年至2012年的瑞士全国公民投票数据，我们表明，议会成员在其居住社区的公民投票结果比在邻近社区的结果更接近，并且这种楔形与居住社区的相对规模显著相互作用。

No place like home: Opinion formation with homophily and implications for policy decisions

ABSTRACT We set up an opinion diffusion model with a local opinion leader, and using simulations we show the possibility of driving a significant wedge between the opinions of two groups that exhibit homophily although individuals are highly conformist. There exists an opinion gap between the group to which the opinion leader belongs and the other group. This opinion gap increases according to the relative size of the residence community. We show empirical traits related to our simulation: Employing Swiss national referenda data from 2008 to 2012, we show that members of parliament match referenda outcomes in their residence communities closer than they do in neighboring communities and that this wedge interacts significantly with the relative size of the residence community.

期刊介绍： The goal of the Journal of Mathematical Sociology is to publish models and mathematical techniques that would likely be useful to professional sociologists. The Journal also welcomes papers of mutual interest to social scientists and other social and behavioral scientists, as well as papers by non-social scientists that may encourage fruitful connections between sociology and other disciplines. Reviews of new or developing areas of mathematics and mathematical modeling that may have significant applications in sociology will also be considered. The Journal of Mathematical Sociology is published in association with the International Network for Social Network Analysis, the Japanese Association for Mathematical Sociology, the Mathematical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association, and the Methodology Section of the American Sociological Association.
