Abstract

We establish a biostatistical model to describe the generation mechanism of neutral consensus and opinion polarization. The paper also explores the formation mechanism of the "screaming effect", "echo chamber effect" and "information cocoon room" and studies how to use reasonable strategist avoid the "screaming effect" and "echo chamber effect" according to the biostatistical model built.
