It follows from this that, as the representatives of the first opinion talk quite a lot while the representatives of the second opinion remain silent, there is a definite influence on the environment: an opinion that is being reinforced in this way appears stronger than it really is, while an opinion suppressed as described will seem to be weaker than it is in reality.
Iz ovoga proističe da, dok predstavnici prvog mišljenja pričaju više a predstavnici drugog mišljenja često ćute, postoji definitivan uticaj sredine: Mišljenje koje se iznosi na ovaj način izgleda jače nego što zapravo jeste, dok mišljenje koje je potisnuto izgleda slabije nego što zapravo jeste u stvarnosti.
