Abstract
Political discussion produces unique anxieties, from sensing disagreement, to fearing being offensive and being ‘cancelled’. We will measure the social class of participants in a political discussion, and test how it may be differentially linked with general anxiety, anxiety from appearing incompetent, anxiety from disagreement, and anxiety from appearing offensive.
