Abstract

ABSTRACT Deep canvasing is an effective organizing tactic that uses story-sharing to increase public support for equity issues. This correlational study examines 2,240 deep canvass conversations a community organization had with voters about a decarceration ballot initiative considered in Los Angeles County’s March 2020 election. We analyzed the relationships between story-sharing and emotional expression on increased support for the initiative using multivariate regression. The results suggest that story-sharing does predict attitude change, but only when combined with emotional expression. This study implies that organizers may increase their efficacy by utilizing narratives to facilitate the expression of emotions about political issues.

通过故事进行组织:情绪在增加对脱瘾的支持中的作用

深度拉票是一种有效的组织策略，它利用故事分享来增加公众对公平问题的支持。这项相关研究调查了一个社区组织与选民就2020年3月洛杉矶县选举中考虑的一项脱欧投票倡议进行的2240次深入拉票对话。我们使用多元回归分析了故事分享与情绪表达之间的关系，以增加对倡议的支持。结果表明，故事分享确实能预测态度的改变，但只有在与情绪表达结合的情况下。本研究表明，组织者可以通过利用叙事来促进对政治问题的情感表达来提高他们的效能。
