Conformity, anticonformity and polarization of opinions: how independence influences the system? — •Katarzyna Hubicka and Tomasz Weron — Faculty of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wrocław, Poland

Could independent choices alter a regime? Or are they merely a noise, that may be neglected? Although some research about conformity, anticonformity and their impact on social polarization have been done recently, it is still uncertain how these three can be influenced by the independence. How does it collaborate with them? Does it support the polarization of opinions or perhaps prevents the process? We would like to dispel all the doubts with an expansion of the model, proposed in the paper `The interplay between conformity and anticonformity and its polarizing effect on society' and revised in the next, entitled `Conformity, anticonformity and polarization of opinions: insights from a mathematical model of opinion dynamics'.
