Opinion leader

Japanese: オピニオン・リーダー(英語表記)opinion leader
Opinion leader
A person who exerts interpersonal influence on the decision-making of those around them regarding everyday topics (fashion, shopping, elections, etc.). The term was coined by P.F. Lazarsfeld and others who conducted a survey of voting behavior during the 1940 US presidential election. Those who are influenced are called followers. Opinion leaders are homogeneous with followers in terms of social status and hierarchy, and therefore their influence is exercised as "horizontal leadership," as opposed to the top-down "vertical leadership" exercised by leaders and experts on a society-wide scale.

日常的なトピック(流行,買物,選挙など)に関して,周囲の人々の意思決定に対人的な影響を及ぼす人。1940年のアメリカ大統領選挙の際に,投票行動の調査を実施したラザースフェルドP.F.Lazarsfeldらによって名づけられた。影響を受ける相手はフォロアーとよばれる。オピニオン・リーダーは社会的地位や階層の点でフォロアーと同質的な存在であり,したがって彼らの影響は,全社会的規模での指導者や専門家による上から下への〈垂直的リーダーシップ〉とは異なり,〈水平的リーダーシップ〉として行使される。
