Abstract

The goal of this project is to investigate to what extent positive arguments about aid to Ukraine move opinion about aid when presented via a conversation with a chatbot. It will also test whether a pro-aid conversation positively moderates the effects of exposure to negative cues about aid to Ukraine from in-party elites.
