ABSTRACT Recent political theory in the areas of dialogic and deliberative democracy has placed particular emphasis on the importance of listening in contexts in which people disagree strongly, have competing (and potentially incompatible) interests, or are otherwise profoundly different. Despite this theoretical attention, there is very little empirical research directly examining the concept of listening – especially across lines of difference – in the political context. In this article we present two studies on race and political listening. Study 1 employs a large, diverse national U.S. adult sample and demonstrates that there are some differences – including race-related differences – in the general tendency toward political listening. Study 2, using a large, diverse national sample of U.S. adults, shifts emphasis from overall tendencies in listening during political talk to specific, situational listening with a particular discussion partner. Across three different (randomly assigned) race-related topics, using a method of imagined interactions to simulate such discussions, we find that Blacks (compared to Whites), individuals with fewer opposite-race relatives, and those who do not identify with the opposite race were significantly more likely to report it being “hard” to truly listen during discussion with a cross-race partner. Together, these findings highlight the importance of race itself, racial identity, experience with cross-race interactions, and race-related topics, to the study of political listening.

政治对话中的倾听:特点和情况

摘要 对话和协商民主领域的最新政治理论特别强调在人们强烈反对、具有竞争(和可能不相容)的利益或在其他方面截然不同的情况下倾听的重要性。尽管有这种理论上的关注,但很少有实证研究直接检验政治背景下的倾听概念——尤其是跨越差异的界限。在本文中,我们介绍了两项关于种族和政治倾听的研究。研究 1 使用了一个庞大的、多样化的美国全国成人样本,并表明政治倾听的总体趋势存在一些差异,包括与种族相关的差异。研究 2,使用大量不同的美国成年人全国样本,将重点从在政治谈话期间倾听的整体趋势转移到与特定讨论伙伴的特定情境倾听。在三个不同的(随机分配的)与种族相关的主题中,使用想象互动的方法来模拟此类讨论,我们发现黑人(与白人相比)、异族亲属较少的人和不认同对立种族的人种族明显更有可能报告说,在与跨种族合作伙伴的讨论中真正倾听“很难”。总之,这些发现强调了种族本身、种族身份、跨种族互动的经验以及与种族相关的话题对政治倾听研究的重要性。在三个不同的(随机分配的)与种族相关的主题中,使用想象互动的方法来模拟此类讨论,我们发现黑人(与白人相比)、异族亲属较少的人和不认同对立种族的人种族明显更有可能报告说,在与跨种族合作伙伴的讨论中真正倾听“很难”。总之,这些发现强调了种族本身、种族身份、跨种族互动的经验以及与种族相关的话题对政治倾听研究的重要性。在三个不同的(随机分配的)与种族相关的主题中,使用想象互动的方法来模拟此类讨论,我们发现黑人(与白人相比)、异族亲属较少的人和不认同对立种族的人种族明显更有可能报告说,在与跨种族合作伙伴的讨论中真正倾听“很难”。总之,这些发现强调了种族本身、种族身份、跨种族互动的经验以及与种族相关的话题对政治倾听研究的重要性。那些不认同异族的人更有可能报告说,在与跨种族伙伴的讨论中真正倾听是“困难的”。总之,这些发现强调了种族本身、种族身份、跨种族互动的经验以及与种族相关的话题对政治倾听研究的重要性。那些不认同异族的人更有可能报告说,在与跨种族伙伴的讨论中真正倾听是“困难的”。总之,这些发现强调了种族本身、种族身份、跨种族互动的经验以及与种族相关的话题对政治倾听研究的重要性。
