作者：

Highlights：

• An opinion diffusion framework with 3 independent information transmission processes.

• A realistic representation of opinions using 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic variables.

• A social network to represent agents’ interactions in the ABM.

• An awareness deactivation mechanism to model the awareness dynamics.

• Two case studies of the model in marketing and politics.
