Why are political conversations uncomfortable for so many people?
The current literature focuses on the structure of people's
discussion networks and the frequency with which they talk about
politics, but not the dynamics of the conversations themselves. In
What Goes Without Saying, Taylor N. Carlson and Jaime E. Settle
investigate how Americans navigate these discussions in their daily
lives, with particular attention to the decision-making process
around when and how to broach politics. The authors use a
multi-methods approach to unpack what they call the 4D Framework of
political conversation: identifying the ways that people detect
others' views, decide whether to talk, discuss their opinions
honestly-or not, and determine whether they will repeat the
experience in the future. In developing a framework for studying
and explaining political discussion as a social process, What Goes
Without Saying will set the agenda for research in political
science, psychology, communication, and sociology for decades to
come.

Why do Americans have such animosity for people who identify with
the opposing political party? Jaime E. Settle argues that in the
context of increasing partisan polarization among American
political elites, the way we communicate on Facebook uniquely
facilitates psychological polarization among the American public.
Frenemies introduces the END Framework of social media interaction.
END refers to a subset of content that circulates in a social media
ecosystem: a personalized, quantified blend of politically
informative 'expression', 'news', and 'discussion' seamlessly
interwoven into a wider variety of socially informative content.
Scrolling through the News Feed triggers a cascade of processes
that result in negative attitudes about those who disagree with us
politically. The inherent features of Facebook, paired with the
norms of how people use the site, heighten awareness of political
identity, bias the inferences people make about others' political
views, and foster stereotyped evaluations of the political
out-group.
