Valentin Gold und Katharina Holzinger presented at the Annual Meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) in Chicago a paper entitled "An Automated Text-Analysis Approach to Measuring Deliberative Quality". In this paper, we report on our steps forward to automatically measuring the quality of deliberative communication. Furthermore, we propose an empirical test determining the consequences of deliberative communication. 

We presented the project and some preliminary results at the Digital Humanities Summit 2015 in Berlin. To download the poster, please click on the small poster image to the left.
