- Abstract:
-
A dynamic model of opinion making in a multiagent media system was developed. The model contained agents, media, and the rules for interaction between them. Agent attributes included values for the degree of trust between them, for credibility, and for conformity. Media attributes were influence and authority. The rules of interaction included agent rules as that allowed agent interactions with media. Simulation results proved that the model was reasonable. Increased frequency of reports had a positive effect on the formation of public opinion. Nevertheless, when a critical number of reports was exceeded, further influence became limited. Based on analysis of the outcome, the best way to guide the formation of opinions was proposed.
