Is it true that a 2026 social network modeling study concluded that the desire to avoid cognitive dissonance can drive the formation of communities?

Yes. A peer-reviewed social network model reports that agents' desire to avoid cognitive dissonance leads to fragmentation and the emergence of communities, matching the claim's conclusion. The same model text appears in a second retrieved source.
