Abstract
Despite ample research devoted to the non-linear q-voter model and its extensions, little or no attention has been paid to the relationship between the composition of the influence group and the resulting dynamics of opinions. In this paper, we investigate two variants of the q-voter model with independence. Following the original q-voter model, in the first one, among the q members of the influence group, each given agent can be selected more than once. In the other variant, the repetitions of agents are explicitly forbidden. The models are analyzed by means of Monte Carlo simulations and via analytical approximations. The impact of repetitions on the dynamics of the model for different parameter ranges is discussed.
