contents This paper considers the consensus problem of a novel opinion dynamics model with group pressure and self-confidence. Different with the most existing paper, the influence of friends of friends in a social network is taken into account, which is modeled to be two-step communication. Based on this consideration, the neighbors of agents are classified into direct neighbors and indirect neighbors. Accordingly, the communication between agents and their neighbors is classified into one-step communication and two-step communication. By applying matrix analytic theory and graph theory, it is shown that the opinion consensus can be achieved. Moreover, the exactly consensus value of the opinion is obtained for three cases of the group pressure. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the conclusions drawn in the paper.
