Abstract

We hereby propose a model of opinion dynamics where individuals update their beliefs because of interactions in acquaintances' group. The model exhibit a non trivial behavior that we discuss as a function of the main involved parameters. Results are reported on the average number of opinion clusters and the time needed to form such clusters.
