Respect and Disrespect in Deliberation Across the Networked Media Environment: Examining Multiple Paths of Political Talk

Abstract

There is extensive research dedicated to civility in online deliberationIn a healthy democracy, deliberative scholars expect that citizens engage in reasonable discussion and try to understand each other by recognizing basic principles such as pluralism and mutual respect (Gutmann & Thompson, 2004; Habermas, 1996;Mansbridge et al., 2012;Steiner, 2012). In practice, of course,We have discussed some of the ideas in this article with Jürg Steiner, Patricia Rossini, Rafael C. Sampaio and participants of Group EME/UFMG and we thank them for their valuable comments. We are also grateful to the anonymous reviewers of JCMC for their suggestions. We thank the undergraduate students -Bárbara Lana, Larissa Arreguy, Rodrigo Miranda and Thais Chouchair, who helped us with the methodological procedures of this work. Finally, we thank Capes, CNPq and Fapemig for the financial support that allowed us to conduct this research.

Estado da arte da democracia digital no Brasil: oferta e sobrevivência das iniciativas (1999-2016)

“…affordances) e aspectos da criação e gerenciamento dos fóruns serem geralmente considerados, esses estudos destacam-se pela utilização de critérios da teoria da democracia deliberativa (e.g. esfera pública e deliberação pública) para avaliação dos comentários e das conversações digitais (Maia;Rezende, 2016;Martino;Sarmento;Mendonça, 2018), especialmente quando esses subsidiarão a proposição ou alteração de políticas públicas ou mesmo de projetos de lei. Dentre estes, podemos destacar as inúmeras análises sobre os diferentes orçamentos participativos digitais presentes no Brasil (Barros;Abreu;Pinho, 2014;Ferreira, 2012), sobre as diferentes consultas online promovidas durante o Marco Civil da Internet (Barros, 2016; Bragatto; Nicolás; Sampaio; 2015; Capone; Ituassu; Pecoraro, 2015) e pelo portal e-Democracia da Câmara dos Deputados (Mitozo et al, 2016;Faria et al, 2016;Freitas et al, 2015).…”

Alguns estudos ainda buscam explicar diferenças de desempenho entre plataformas de conversação online, apontando diferenças de design e fontes de informação para fundamentar o debate como possíveis razões (WITSCHGE, 2004;JANSSEN;KIES, 2004;WRIGHT;STREET, 2007;KELLY;FISHER;SMITH, 2009;MAIA et al, 2015;MAIA;REZENDE, 2016).…”

“…Argumentativeness is a predisposition one has towards advocating a position on a topic or attacking another's position on a topic (Infante & Rancer, 1982) while verbal aggression is a predisposition one has towards verbally attacking a person or their self-concept (Infante & Wigley, 1986). On social media, if two users have opposing viewpoints and the medium affords anonymity, the use of ad hominin attacks (i.e., verbally attacking a person and discrediting their argument because of a personal flaw) and the use of profanity both increases (Maria & Rezende, 2016). If a medium has a high degree of edibility (i.e., the degree to which one can edit a message or post after it has been sent; Evans et al, 2016;Treem & Leonardi, 2012) then it may influence the propensity to engage in argumentation because users can change their argument or how they articulate it after initially posting it.…”

“…Additionally, social network structures also influence people's likelihood to engage in argumentation or verbal aggression (John & Dvir-Gvirsman, 2015;Maria & Rezende, 2016). Weak ties that hold extreme opposing viewpoints are more likely to 'unfriend' each other on social media (John & Dvir-Gvirsman, 2015) and networks of people who share the same opinions (i.e., homogeneous networks) are more likely to engage in profanity use about others with opposing viewpoints than heterogenous networks (Maria & Rezende, 2016). Future research should examine the relationship between social network structures and aggressive communication traits, as well as their manifestation in digital spaces and how affordances of social media (e.g., anonymity, editability, visibility) may affect their manifestation.…”
