The Anatomy Spread of Online Opinion Polarization: The Pivotal Role of Super-Spreaders in Social Networks

The study investigates the role of 'superspreaders' in shaping opinions within networks, distinguishing three types: A, B, and C. Type A has a significant influence in shaping opinions, Type B acts as a counterbalance to A, and Type C functions like media, providing an objective viewpoint and potentially regulating A and B's influence. The research uses a confidence coefficient and z-score to survey superspreaders' behaviors, with a focus on the conditions affecting group dynamics and opinion formation, including environmental factors and forgetfulness over time. The findings offer insights for improving online communication security and understanding social influence.
