This is called group polarization. A population-based experiment with a pre-test post-test design was conducted to analyze whether the norms and procedures of deliberation interfere with the mechanisms of group polarization. Based on a survey, people with either permissive or restrictive attitudes toward immigration were first identified and then invited to the experiment. The participants were randomly assigned to like-minded and mixed small-n groups. Each like-minded group consisted of only permissive or restrictive participants, whereas each mixed group consisted of four permissive and four restrictive participants. The like-minded treatment represents enclave deliberation, and the mixed treatment a \u2018standard\u2019 deliberative mini-public design. The main finding of our experiment is that people with anti-immigrant attitudes become more tolerant even when they deliberate in like-minded groups. Moreover, similar learning curves are observed in both treatments. Based on the results, we conclude that deliberative norms can alleviate the negative consequences of discussion in like-minded groups.<\/p>\n<p>Keywords: enclave deliberation; deliberative democracy; group polarization; group think; experiment; immigration attitudes<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.springerlink.com\/openurl.asp?genre=article&amp;id=doi:10.1007\/s11109-015-9304-x\">Article <\/a>in Political Behavior<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gr\u00f6nlund, Kimmo; Herne, Kaisa; Set\u00e4l\u00e4, Maija. 2015.
