Conclusion. 330 $aThis book addresses increasingly relevant social problems enabled by social media through the lens of system science research and modeling. Instead of evaluating existing patterns from existing social media data, the book focuses on exploring the possibility of various policies. Specifically, it provides fresh insight into the political echo chamber and polarization in social media using agent-based modeling and scenario analysis. The book contains a practical framework to study the factors influencing echo chambers and polarization formation occurring in social media communication. By modeling individual social media users' information consumption, the influence of various behaviors and policies are captured as macro-phenomena. The book also introduces a comprehensive agent-based reinterpretation of the Zaller model, a classic in public opinion research. In addition, the book demonstrates two real-life applications of the model using empirical observations: resolving the conflicting observations of the online echo chamber effect, and modeling the influence of vaccine-related Facebook pages on users? opinions about vaccination. 410 0$aAgent-Based Social Systems,$x2364-9542 ;$v17 606 $aMass media 606 $aSocial media 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aInternet?Social aspects 606 $aControl theory 606 $aMedia Sociology 606 $aSocial Media 606 $aComplex Systems 606 $aInternet Studies 606 $aSystems Theory, Control 610 $aMass Media 610 $aPhysics 610 $aSystem Theory 610 $aSocial Science 610 $aScience 615 0$aMass media. 615 0$aSocial media. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aInternet?Social aspects. 615 0$aControl theory. 615 14$aMedia Sociology. 615 24$aSocial Media. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aInternet Studies. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control . 676 $a302.231 700 $aAl Atiqi$b Muhammad$01362764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910728382203321 996 $aEcho Chamber and Polarization in Social Media$93382313 997 $aUNINA
