“…The group polarization theory indicates the proclivity of a group to make decisions that are riskier than the average individual decisions made by members before the group meeting. Subsequent social psychology studies revealed that a similar tendency applies more broadly to changes in attitude and opinion following a debate (Proietti 2017).…”

This study aimed to find out if there is a relationship between social media and political polarization in Türkiye from the perspective of Turkish students. To reach this aim, the needed data were collected through qualitative and quantitative approaches. A total of 303 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The sample consisted of university Turkish students across undergraduate, masters, and PhD levels in Türkiye aged between 18 and 50+. As well, an online focus group discussion with six Turkish students from different universities and education levels was conducted to gain a more in-depth understanding of the study’s problem. The results of the study showed that the perspectives of the Turkish students were that social media had a weak-to-moderate effect on political polarization in Türkiye. Furthermore, the results indicated that the studied sample of the Turkish students does not rely on social media platforms to obtain political news, and most of them do not follow political leaders on social media. Moreover, communication platforms did not encourage many Turkish students to express themselves, which is an indication that social media algorithms have contributed to a medium degree in creating filter bubbles through the content they suggest to users. Results have also shown that Turkish students are afraid that their posts and comments are being censored.

“…For the purposes of this work we restrict our attention to finite AFs. Among others, AFs have been applied in several contexts to model multi-agent argumentative scenarios [4,18,16,19,17] where the agents' (partial) information is represented as a subgraph of a larger argumentative pool. Such scenarios are captured by the following definition.…”

“…Remark 2. First, agent 2 (the hearer) is assumed to always perform an open update [16], i.e., 2 always trusts 1 and incorporates all the received information into her subgraph. Second, the disclosure policy of 1 is left undecided, since our objective is to investigate how should 1 discloses her available information in order to persuade 2.…”

“…There are several open branches for future work; let us just mention two of them. First, one of the main assumptions of our framework is that hearers always perform an open update [16], i.e., they incorporate whatever the speaker says into their AFs. Nevertheless, this is not the case in many situations, where the 9 Given an AF (A, ) and two sets of arguments B, C ⊆ A, the attack relation is lifted from single arguments to sets of arguments as follows:…”

This paper studies the relation between persuasive argumentation and the speaker's epistemic attitude. Dung-style abstract argumentation and dynamic epistemic logic provide the necessary tools to characterize the notion of persuasion. Within abstract argumentation, persuasive argumentation has been previously studied from a gametheoretic perspective. These approaches are blind to the fact that, in reallife situations, the epistemic attitude of the speaker determines which set of arguments will be disclosed by her in the context of a persuasive dialogue. This work is a first step to fill this gap. For this purpose we extend one of the logics of Schwarzentruber et al. with dynamic operators, designed to capture communicative phenomena. A complete axiomatization for the new logic via reduction axioms is provided. Within the new framework, a distinction between actual persuasion and persuasion from the speaker's perspective is made. Finally, we explore the relationship between the two notions.
