AI Article Synopsis
- A scientifically valuable model must make predictions that can be verified.
- The Martins model is a theoretical approach in opinion dynamics that simplifies experiments by using a more controllable parameter.
- This paper presents an experiment designed to test the Martins model and introduces a novel experimental design method for studying opinion dynamics.
Article Abstract
A model needs to make verifiable predictions to have any scientific value. In opinion dynamics, the study of how individuals exchange opinions with one another, there are many theoretical models which attempt to model opinion exchange, one of which is the Martins model, which differs from other models by using a parameter that is easier to control for in an experiment. In this paper, we have designed an experiment to verify the Martins model and contribute to the experimental design in opinion dynamic with our novel method.
