Abstract
This study uses quasi-experimental data from participants in structured and moderated face-to-face deliberations on sexual minority rights in Poland (n =182) and builds on evidence that disagreement perceived during these deliberations mobilizes extreme participants to political action. This study takes the next step and tests the processes underlying such mobilization. Drawing on social movement scholarship and using Structural Equation Modeling, this study shows that perceived disagreement evokes a collective action frame among extreme participants and—through this frame—further mobilizes them to both communicative and also public and confrontational actions around sexual minority rights. Although scholars often see citizen-to-citizen deliberation as applicable to mitigating conflicts, this evidence suggests that deliberative settings may deepen cleavages between oppositional factions.
