Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach to analyzing the impact of diversity, one of the most crucial determinants of intelligent collectives, on susceptibility to consensus and collective performance. In the common understanding, susceptibility to consensus refers to the situation in which the obtained collective prediction determined on the basis of individual predictions can be accepted as the representative for the collective as a whole. Computational experiments have indicated that when collectives are small, it is difficult to obtain a high probability of susceptibility to consensus. For large collectives, however, diversity seems not to matter susceptibility to consensus. Furthermore, the findings have also shown that higher collective performances can be the consequence of more diverse collectives. In other words, diversity is positively correlated with collective performance.
