PFC vs FFFF
#They are working toward group consolidation, within their ethnic or other reliable group, and may see the other group as a threat. They will judge the other group proposed information as deceiving.
# They will judge leaders by their "strength" that is reviled by the leader's rhetoric.
# As a result, It seems that conservatives tend to less participate in deliberation<ref>[http://www.delib-democracy.org/2014/05/29/do-conservatives-tend-to-avoid-deliberation/ Tal Yaron, 2014, Do conservatives tend to avoid deliberation?, The deliberative democracy insetute institute blog]</ref>.===Facilitating Deliberation in FFFF situations===To enable deliberation, therefore I'll suggest to main root should be taken. One is elevating the level of trust between groups, and the other is to make deliberation more time-efficient. The threat perception should be reduced, by creating games and interactions that make the participant know more of each other, and trust each other. One example, I have heard of was a of a facilitator that worked with Israeli and Arab youth. Both team didn't trust each other. To elevate trust, the facilitator ordered the youngsters, to help him carry wooden logs from one side of the camp to the other. To complete the mission, both groups needed to work together. This mission, the facilitator testified, helped bring the groups together and the deliberation improved afterward. By making deliberation more efficient, people with FFFF mode, will feel that the decisions are less time consuming and produce decisions that help the group act in a unify way, and with more strength (something FFFF decision making mechanism, prefer). Another way to help promote deliberation, is to see the deliberative as a game, and less as somthing the group has to rely upon, when triyng to make decisions. This attitude may reduce pressure, and mat lead to more relaxed decisions.
