Abstract: We propose and compare six different ways of mapping the modified $q$-voter model to complex networks. Considering square lattices, Barab'asi-Albert, Watts-Strogatz and real Twitter networks, we ask the question if always a particular choice of the group of influence of a fixed size $q$ leads to different behavior at the macroscopic level. Using Monte Carlo simulations we show that the answer depends on the relative average path length of the network and for real-life topologies the differences between the considered mappings may be negligible.
