Cross-Country Trends in Affective Polarization
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
We measure trends in affective polarization in twelve OECD countries over the past four decades.According to our baseline estimates, the US experienced the largest increase in polarization over this period.Five countries experienced a smaller increase in polarization.Six countries experienced a decrease in polarization.We relate trends in polarization to trends in potential explanatory factors.
