Abstract:	Different models of social influence have explored the dynamics of social contagion, imitation, and diffusion of different types of behaviour. However, empirical data on social influence processes have usually relied on surveys, virtual networks analysis or laboratory experiments, while few behavioural data indicating large social influence dynamics have been obtained from direct observation in 'natural' social contexts. This paper is based on a research project that provides precisely that kind of evidence in the case of the public expression of political preferences in the city of Barcelona during the years 2013-2014.
