      abstract     = {Participation processes can improve environmental
                      decision-making. However, proving the impact of
                      participation processes – i.e. decision-making involving
                      diverse actors from civil society, business, state, and
                      administration – is challenging. This paper therefore
                      examines participation processes by applying proxy measures
                      thatare assumed to strongly correlate with improved
                      environmental decision-making. Such indicators include the
                      perception of the process as being fair and legitimate, the
                      final outcomes being considered effective and efficient,
                      satisfaction with one's own engagement and the development
                      of trust, and conflict resolution. Participationprocess
                      characteristics such as participation format and
                      facilitation are assumed to have an impact on these
                      indicators. This study examined participation processes in
                      relation to the German energy transformation (Energiewende),
                      asking respondents about their experience of participation,
                      their perception of the process, andalso about intermediate
                      outcomes such as trust building and conflict resolution. An
                      online survey was conducted, resulting in 516 valid
                      responses. The results show that participation processes
                      related to the Energiewende are often perceived as fair and
                      legitimate. Moreover, the findings provide a better
                      understanding of the relationshipsbetween participation
                      process characteristics and desirable intermediate outcomes,
                      such as trust and conflict resolution, as well as normative
                      process factors. The intensity of a participation process
                      – i.e. whether it is dialogic or a written consultation
                      process – had no significant influence either on normative
                      process factors, such as procedural fairness, or on trust or
                      conflict resolution. Instead, a trustworthy moderator and
                      the integration of all affected interests are important
                      participation process characteristics that could determine
                      the success of the decision-making process.},
