Opinion dynamics: public and private

We study here the dynamics of opinion formation in a society where we take into account the internally held beliefs and externally expressed opinions of the individuals, which are not necessarily the same at all times. While these two components can influence one another, their difference, both in d...

While these two components can influence one another, their difference, both in dynamics and in the steady state, poses interesting scenarios in terms of the transition to consensus in the society and characterizations of such consensus. Here we study this public and private opinion dynamics and the critical behaviour of the consensus forming transitions, using a kinetic exchange model. This article is part of the theme issue 'Kinetic exchange models of societies and economies'.
