这项研究考察了在小组讨论中建立亲密关系是否比关注信息更有效地达成关于气候变化的共识。参与者被随机分配到一组，一组在网上讨论的第一部分进行自我表露，并专注于共同的价值观(亲密状况)，另一组讨论一篇关于气候变化的文章中的信息(信息状况)。之后，所有小组都得到了相同的指示，试图就他们对气候变化的看法达成集体共识。亲密状态下的参与者在社会凝聚力、群体吸引力、任务相互依赖和集体投入方面的得分高于信息条件下的参与者，而在排斥方面的得分低于信息条件下的参与者。亲密关系小组更有可能达成共识，排斥和讨论的情绪基调调解了这一影响。参与者更有可能改变他们的观点，以反映气候变化在亲密关系中是真实存在的，而不是在信息条件下。
This study examined if creating intimacy in a group discussion is more effective toward reaching consensus about climate change than a focus on information. Participants were randomly assigned to either a group that spent the first part of an online discussion engaging in self-disclosure and focusing on shared values (intimacy condition) or discussing information from an article about climate change (information condition). Afterward, all groups were given the same instructions to try to come to group consensus on their opinions about climate change. Participants in the intimacy condition had higher ratings of social cohesion, group attraction, task interdependence, and collective engagement and lower ratings of ostracism than the information condition. Intimacy groups were more likely to reach consensus, with ostracism and the emotional tone of discussion mediating this effect. Participants were more likely to change their opinion to reflect that climate change is real in the intimacy than information condition.
