Supplementary files for article "‘The way enthusiasm builds’: Frame amplification and emotional reinforcement in participatory policymaking"To create policies about complex environmental challenges, it is vital to involve multiple stakeholders. Whilst research has shown how emotions may influence multi-stakeholder collaborations, the role of emotions in participatory policymaking is not sufficiently understood. This study focuses on the role of emotions during a series of citizen workshops that feed into urban tree management policies. Specifically, we explore how emotions are related to the deliberation of citizens’ frames (i.e. sensemaking schemata). Our findings demonstrate inherent interconnections between participants’ frames and emotions. We identify a chain of mechanisms by which the expression of frames and associated emotions during interactions led to an intertwined amplification of citizens’ frames and reinforcement of their emotions. We also explain the cases of ‘separation’ where this did not occur. Our model extends prior insights into the relationship between frames and emotions and demonstrates how citizen workshops serve not only to gain citizens’ input into public policies, but also to cultivate their frames through emotional reinforcement.© The Author(s), CC BY 4.0

《“热情何以催生：参与式政策制定中的框架扩增与情绪强化”》论文补充材料。针对复杂环境挑战制定公共政策时，吸纳多元利益相关方参与至关重要。尽管已有研究揭示了情绪如何影响多利益相关方协作，但情绪在参与式政策制定中的作用仍未得到充分阐释。本研究聚焦于一系列为城市树木管理政策提供决策参考的公民研讨会中的情绪作用。具体而言，本研究探讨了情绪与公民认知框架（即意义建构图式）的研讨过程之间的关联。本研究结果揭示了参与者认知框架与情绪之间的内在关联，识别出一套机制链条：互动过程中认知框架与相关情绪的表达，会推动公民认知框架的交织式扩增与情绪的强化。同时，本研究还阐释了未出现此类关联的“分离”案例。本研究提出的模型拓展了此前关于认知框架与情绪关系的研究认知，并证明公民研讨会不仅可为公共政策获取公民建言，还可通过情绪强化来培育参与者的认知框架。© 作者，CC BY 4.0
