Abstract

Human life is based on social interactions. These interactions are dictated by the attitudes and beliefs people have. Personal attitudes and beliefs are not constant over time but are influenced on an individual level. The interactions with friends, coworkers and others can influence one?s opinion. Such an attitude change can occur during discussions. It is hypothesised that these changes are such that when two individuals meet, the closer their opinions are, the more likely their opinions converge, Sherif and Hovland (year). On the other hand, when they differ a lot from each other they will experience contrasting opinion, and as a result diverge opinions, resulting in a polarisation.
