Overview

Simulation of opinion dynamics shows time evolution of political polarization, indicating trends in U.S. Congress.

Key Points

  • Political polarization evolves over time as national social norms influence opinions.
  • The opinion dynamics model predicts polarization effects across two parties and their members.
  • Simulations align with historical data, reflecting U.S. Congress polarization trends over 154 years.
  • Strength of national social norms is highlighted as a key factor in shaping political opinions.
