Group interactions modulate critical mass dynamics in social convention
L. Lacopini, G. Petri, et al.
This research, conducted by lacopo lacopini, Giovanni Petri, Andrea Baronchelli, and Alain Barrat, uncovers how minorities can reshape social conventions through group interactions. It reveals that a smaller critical mass is needed when individuals are less inclined to change their views, and the minority's success hinges on group size in unexpected ways. Dive into the complex dynamics of social change.
