The American Conversations Project: Durably Improving Respectful Communication In Cross Partisan Conversations

We created a brief (20-minute), social-psychological intervention to change how people think about and communicate in political disagreements. In a preregistered longitudinal RCT with a U.S. census–matched sample of 1,027 university students, treated participants wrote more respectfully to outpartisans at each survey-wave, including one month later in a disconnected survey.
