Dynamics of Public Opinion Evolution with Asymmetric Cognitive Bias
Yanbing Mao, Naira Hovakimyan, and Tarek Abdelzaher

TL;DR
This paper introduces a new model for public opinion dynamics that incorporates asymmetric cognitive biases like confirmation and negativity biases, providing insights into how these biases influence opinion evolution.
Contribution
The paper develops a novel public opinion model explicitly incorporating asymmetric confirmation and negativity biases, with modeling guidance and numerical validation.
Findings
Model accurately captures asymmetric cognitive biases.
Numerical examples demonstrate model correctness.
Provides insights into opinion evolution mechanisms.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a pubic opinion model with incorporation of asymmetric cognitive bias: confirmation bias and negativity bias. We then investigate the generic modeling guidance of capturing asymmetric confirmation bias and negativity bias. A numerical examples is provided to demonstrate the correctness of asymmetric cognitive bias model.
