The Sound of Silence: Minorities,Abstention and Democracy

Despite the existence of an extensive literature, no definitive conclusion seems to emerge on the extent to which minorities are guaranteed by democratic rules in political systems. This paper contributes to this debate by proposing a modified Heigselmann and Krauss two-dimensional model of preferences in order to capture the role of abstention on minority representativeness. Regardless of the typology of abstention, simulation results show that voter abstention always benefits minorities.     

Epistemic Communities under Active Inference

The spread of ideas is a fundamental concern of today’s news ecology. Understanding the dynamics of the spread of information and its co-option by interested parties is of critical importance. Research on this topic has shown that individuals tend to cluster in echo-chambers and are driven by confirmation bias. In this paper, we leverage the active inference framework to provide an in silico model of confirmation bias and its effect on echo-chamber formation. We build a model based on active inference, where agents tend to sample information in order to justify their own view of reality, which eventually leads to them to have a high degree of certainty about their own beliefs. We show that, once agents have reached a certain level of certainty about their beliefs, it becomes very difficult to get them to change their views. This system of self-confirming beliefs is upheld and reinforced by the evolving relationship between an agent’s beliefs and observations, which over time will continue to provide evidence for their ingrained ideas about the world. The epistemic communities that are consolidated by these shared beliefs, in turn, tend to produce perceptions of reality that reinforce those shared beliefs. We provide an active inference account of this community formation mechanism. We postulate that agents are driven by the epistemic value that they obtain from sampling or observing the behaviours of other agents. Inspired by digital social networks like Twitter, we build a generative model in which agents generate observable social claims or posts (e.g., ‘tweets’) while reading the socially observable claims of other agents that lend support to one of two mutually exclusive abstract topics. Agents can choose which other agent they pay attention to at each timestep, and crucially who they attend to and what they choose to read influences their beliefs about the world. Agents also assess their local network’s perspective, influencing which kinds of posts they expect to see other agents making. The model was built and simulated using the freely available Python package pymdp. The proposed active inference model can reproduce the formation of echo-chambers over social networks, and gives us insight into the cognitive processes that lead to this phenomenon.     

地方政府官员微博在化解社会矛盾中的作用及实现

地方政府官员微博在化解社会矛盾中发挥了重要的作用,其有助于地方政府官员回应民众诉求;有利于化解因信息不通造成的社会恐慌;有助于拉近官民距离;有利于塑造政府形象;有利于降低突发事件的不良影响或者减少突发事件的发生,维护社会稳定。但是也有失误的教训,某些官员对微博认识不充分,微博形式大过内容,娱乐大过务实,部分官员对自身角色定位不准,缺少监督管理等,在涉及危机公关、化解社会矛盾等方面,微博没有发挥应有的作用。地方政府官员微博有效化解社会矛盾的途径是,微博定位要准确,克服形式主义,完善相关法律法规,规范言论自由,加强地方政府官员的媒介素养教育等。     

高校领导干部选拔任用方式存在的问题及对策思考

推进高校干部选拔任用工作,不仅关系干部的切身利益,而且关系到党的教育路线、方针、政策的贯彻落实。当前领导干部的产生方式主要有选任制、考任制、委任制、聘任制四种。在实际选拔干部时,却存在少数人特别是"一把手"说了算的情况、民主推荐和考察的方式方法不科学、用人机制缺乏有效监督、干部"能上能下"的机制尚未真正形成等问题。要坚持用人标准,以德为先,德才兼备,规范干部选任制和委任制的提名环节,加大竞争性选拔干部力度,完善干部选任的监督体系,完善干部退出机制。
