About this paper

Satoshi Komuro

A mathematical modeling study examines how digital media-driven polarization affects epidemic spread through multiplex networks, revealing that polarization's impact varies based on disease transmission rates - reducing infections when transmission is low but amplifying spread when transmission is high.

Key insights

  • Digital media influence increases affective polarization within networks
  • Polarization's effect on epidemic spread depends on transmission rates
  • Awareness levels mediate the relationship between polarization and infection rates
