Deliberative states

Revision as of 07:17, 10 February 2021 by WinSysop (talk | contribs)

Deliberative states are the inner mental states of the members to participate in deliberation, that will influence their readiness to agree and take the decided action.

I suggest that the stakes are constructed from these elements:

  • Needs: Every member has different needs regarding the question at hand. As the need to grow so does the readiness to take action.
  • Resources: Every member has some level of resources. The higher his resources the more willing he will be to take action.
  • Alignment of interests: The closer the solutions will be to the interest of the individual, he will be more ready to take action.
  • SON: The more corroborated the knowledge is the more the member will trust the action and will be ready to act.
  • Trust in members: The more trust a member has in the other members the more he will be willing to take action.
  • keeping the general good: The more the group plays according to the general a good principle the more members will be ready to act even though their interests are not aligned with the actions.
