Imagine if you could tell whether a public debate is getting too heated or if people just don't care enough to participate. This work creates a way to find the 'sweet spot' of emotion so people feel connected to decisions without becoming polarized. It's like a thermometer for the mood of a society to help leaders communicate better.
Organizations and governments struggle with extreme public polarization or total citizen apathy. This makes it difficult to implement policies without triggering intense emotional backlash or facing complete indifference.
The project is building a method to measure the emotional valence of policies, resilience-building games for the metaverse, and toolkits for policymakers.
If you are a strategic communication agency dealing with highly polarized public reactions to a client's campaign — this project developed a method to measure the emotional valence of policies that helps refine messaging to reduce tribalism.
If you are an educational software developer dealing with the need for civic education tools — this project developed games to strengthen political-emotional resilience in real-life and metaverses.
If you are a GovTech provider dealing with low citizen turnout and apathy — this project developed toolkits to help policymakers respond to citizens' emotional needs and bolster trust in governance.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost structure for the resulting toolkits has been disclosed.
The project uses Large Language Models for text mining, suggesting the potential for digital scaling, though specific industrial scale metrics are not provided.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms for the policy measurement methods and games are not mentioned.
The project aims to provide toolkits and policy ideas to embed emotional needs into policymaking, but technical integration specifications are not listed.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, indicating that final tools will be ready by the end of 2026.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 6 universities and 1 research institution, with a low industry ratio of 11% (1 industry partner). This suggests the output is currently research-driven, though the inclusion of an SME indicates a path toward commercial application of the toolkits.
