DEBATE: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Evaluating Opinion Dynamics in Role-Playing LLM Agents

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2510.25110v5 Announce Type: replace Accurately modeling opinion change through social interactions is crucial for understanding and mitigating polarization, misinformation, and societal conflict. Recent work simulates opinion dynamics with role-playing LPL agents (RPLAs), but multi-agent simulations often display unnatural group behavior, such as premature convergence, and lack empirical benchmarks for assessing alignment with real human group interactions. We
