Model 1(with zoom-in).

Abstract

Case (a), (b), and (c) represent the three previously mentioned cases. The horizontal axis represents the change in absolute opinion difference between the pair, while the vertical axis represents the logarithm of affinity change. The scatter points depict the relationships between these two changes after the interactions, with darker colors indicating overlapping points. The deep blue fitted lines are generated using the OLS method. For illustrative purposes, we have zoomed in on the central part of the complete figures. The complete figures can be found in S1 Appendix in S1 File.</p
