Der Beitrag untersucht die epistemische Dynamik bei der Entstehung von Massenbewegungen. Mit Hilfe einer agentenbasierten Simulation werden die Mechanismen der Informationsdynamik analysiert, die zu gemeinsam geteilten Einstellungen bezüglich eines politischen Systems führen und damit Massenbewegungen ermöglichen. So zeigen unsere Ergebnisse, dass Gesellschaften mit geringer Mobilität die Möglichkeit des Wandels unterschätzen. Außerdem bestehen systematische Informationsunterschiede zwischen Systemunterstützern und Systemkritikern. Die aufkommende Informationsdynamik sorgt dafür, dass Systemkritiker die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Wandels im Durchschnitt positiver einschätzen als Systemunterstützer.... view less

This paper studies the epistemic dynamics preceding the emergence of mass movements. By means of an agent-based simulation, we study the informational processes generating those shared attitudes towards a political system that are necessary for mass movements. We show that societies of lower mobility will structurally underestimate the potential for political change. Moreover, we find systematic differences in attitudes between critics and supporters of a regime. A side-effect of the emergent informational dynamics is that system critics will, over time, develop higher estimates of the potential for change than their less discontent peers.... view less
