Deliberation, Polarization, and Emotion: A Deliberative Process about Climate Change with Young Participants

A field study of the role of emotions in deliberative processes about climate change, conducted with young children.

This publication discusses the effect of deliberation on affective and issue-based political polarization, through a field study on the role of emotions in young people aged 10-12 years old in a deliberative program about climate change.

The study finds a demonstrable impact of emotions on cognition through participation, and suggests incorporating emotions about politics into deliberative study.
