Abstract
In my talk I’ll present extensions of the so‐called bounded confidence model (BC). The extended model will allow to analyse processes of the following type: (1) Agents modify their opinion on a certain topic in a social exchange process. (2) A true opinion exists, at least some of the agents are looking for the truth and to a certain degree they are successful in their quest for the truth. (3) The agents are networking. The social exchange process is confined to those who are socially not too far away in terms of network distance.
