Abstract
Consensus formation and difference of opinion have long been the subject of research. However, relevant laws and systems within society are being updated to reflect the changes in information networks. Online environment has come to fulfill a major role as a real and concrete place of opposing opinions and consensus formation. In the future, quantitative findings on consensus formation, and findings on relevant trends, must be summarized, and quantitative research related to trends likely to give rise to social and economic risk is required. Thus, the potential for comparing research related to consensus formation using actual data and an approach using a mathematical model was first investigated.
