Understanding opinion depolarization dynamics is vital for reducing political divide. We propose a social compass model for polar space representation of interdependent topics, where extreme zealots are less likely to change their minds. Our theoretical framework is validated through extensive numerical simulations and using initial opinions from the American National Election Studies, demonstrating explosive depolarization.
Understanding the dynamics of opinion depolarization is pivotal to reducing the political divide in our society. We propose an opinion dynamics model, which we name the social compass model, for interdependent topics represented in a polar space, where zealots holding extreme opinions are less prone to change their minds. We analytically show that the phase transition from polarization to consensus, as a function of increasing social influence, is explosive if topics are not correlated. We validate our theoretical framework through extensive numerical simulations and recover explosive depolarization also by using initial opinions from the American National Election Studies, including polarized and interdependent topics.
