Indirect Minority Influence Model (1.0.0)
The current model is designed to examine whether—and under what conditions—minority influence can generate social change. Specifically, the model assesses whether empirically validated psychological mechanisms of indirect minority influence, operating in combination, can produce system-level social change, defined as the initial minority opinion becoming the majority position. Notably, this model formalizes Moscovici’s (1976) genetic model of social influence using agent-based modeling.
