Nota: gray symbols correspond to dyadic dynamics, light gray to deliberative dynamics, and bold black to mixed dynamics. Given a scenario, the symbol stands for constant parameter and for insignificant marginal effect, and as parameters grow: for positive (negative) marginal effect for the parameter. From left to right at the parameter level, the leftmost arrow corresponds to the scenario with the strongest (in absolute value) marginal effect of the parameter (with respect to to its factors). Example: Let be a parameter, and stands for “ has a significant positive effect in dyadic discussion scenario, negative in the deliberative one, and insignificant in mixed discussion. The positive effect in dyadic discussion is greater than the absolute value of the negative one in the purely deliberative scenario.” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
