Many micro-level models of information processes in social networks consider either a change in the information-psychological state of agents (opinions, beliefs, attitudes) or a change in their observable behavior (actions). The goal in this paper is to develop and analyze a complex agent-based model of opinion dynamics that describes the dynamics of agents’ beliefs and the process of performing actions by agents. The issues of reaching consensus and polarizing opinions of agents are investigated.
