项目摘要

Research aimThe proposed project will investigate how deliberative mini-publics (DMPs) - such as citizens' juries and assemblies - influence citizens' attitudes toward democracy. People increasingly feel disconnected from politics, weakening democracy. By reintegrating people in decision-making, DMPs are seen as a promising innovation to tackle these issues, but more research on their effectiveness is needed.MethodologyThe study will address this gap through a mixed-methods approach, combining survey (including conjoint) experiments with focus groups. Drawing from the literature, I expect being informed about DMPs to positively influence political attitudes. Survey experiments are ideal for examining the causal effect of receiving information whilst focus groups allow investigation of the more complex aspects of political attitudes. Together, they will provide a more well-rounded understanding of these and the underlying processes behind them.Potential significanceWhilst research has shown that participating in DMPs can increase political knowledge, faith in democracy, and trust in government these effects are restricted to small numbers of participants. Further study of how they influence the attitudes of citizens' in general will enhance understanding of the relationship between the public and democracy, facilitate better DMP design and inform core contemporary debates about democratic reform.

研究目的拟议的项目将调查如何审议迷你公众（DMP）-如公民的陪审团和大会-影响公民对民主的态度。人们越来越感到与政治脱节，削弱了民主。通过重新整合人的决策，DMPs被视为一个有前途的创新，以解决这些问题，但更多的研究，其有效性是needed.MethodologyThe研究将解决这个差距，通过混合方法的方法，结合调查（包括联合）实验与焦点小组。从文献中，我希望了解DMPs对政治态度的积极影响。调查实验是理想的检查接收信息的因果关系，而焦点小组允许调查的政治态度的更复杂的方面。总之，他们将提供一个更全面的了解这些和背后的基本过程。潜在的意义虽然研究表明，参与DMPs可以增加政治知识，对民主的信心，对政府的信任这些影响仅限于少数参与者。进一步研究它们如何影响公民的态度，将增进对公众与民主之间关系的理解，促进更好的民主设计，并为当代关于民主改革的核心辩论提供信息。
