This research aims to understand how echo chambers emerge on social media and their impact on polarization and social cohesion.
Employed a social simulation approach using an agent-based model.
Integrated individual social networks with opinion dynamics.
Manipulated homophily in personal networks and levels of selective exposure to confirming information.
Information exposure significantly influenced echo chamber emergence in diverse social networks.
Artificially created echo chambers did not persist over time with filtering algorithms.
The study prompts a reevaluation of the understanding of echo chambers and their mechanisms.
