Researchers have developed a new method called Computational Multi-Agent Society Experiments (CMASE) to study how generative agents in simulated societies change their stances and reorganize interactions. The study, which used GPT-4o across multiple conditions and simulations, found that environmental rational persuasion led to the largest mean stance departure, while economic emotional persuasion resulted in the highest rate of low-trust stance shifts. The research also demonstrated that agents can partially accept information while maintaining low trust in the source, and can sustain coordination efforts even amidst ongoing disagreement. AI
