Abstract

This is the final report for the Early Career LDRD "Diffusion Among Cognitively Complex Agents" (DACCA).This report consists of three main parts.In the first part we overview the motivation and summarize our accomplishments.The second part provides a detailed description of the model and simulation results.The third part describes an Amazon Mechanical Turk based experiment design to gather data for calibrating and validating this model. Chapter 2The DACCA Model and Simulations This chapter contains the material from [30] which was authored jointly by Kiran Lakkaraju and Ann Speed.Here we describe the model and the underlying social psychology theories that informed it.We end with simulations of attitude diffusion among populations and importance of network topology.-. 9.
