It is noted in the psychology literature that a discrepancy may exist between individuals' implicit opinions and their explicit opinions (or beliefs) on a matter due to political correctness or peer pressures. This study proposes an adaptation of the Deffuant- Weisbuch model that incorporates both implicit and explicit opinions to investigate the evolution of opinions in a population. In our proposed model, we also consider the scenario where an opinion leader exists. We present a theoretical analysis of opinion convergence and consensus in our proposed model and prove a result on the occurrence of "strong diversity"in opinions. We further show that with the existence of an opinion leader, the model will predict a convergence to consensus. Finally, we show the emergence of a strong diversity of opinions in the population for model-based networks and square networks using Monte Carlo simulations. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
