Scanning vs. Thorough Processing the News
The Internet and particularly social media offer opportunities for exposure to political information even when individuals were not looking for such information. This phenomenon is called incidental exposure to news (IE). However, whether individuals thoroughly process such incidentally encountered information (second-level IE) or whether they just skim and skip such information online (first-level IE) is theorized to affect political outcomes di…
Disentangling the Longitudinal Relationship Between Social Media Use, Political Expression and Political Participation
The reciprocal associations between social media use, political expression, and political participation are central to communication scholars. The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) represents a common and widely advocated analytic approach to test these relationships. However, it fails to separate within- from between-person effects. In this paper, we propose a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) disaggregating within-person and bet…
Inconspicuous Terrorists? Effects of Terrorism News on Attitudes and Stereotypes About Muslims
Differentiation between terrorists and Muslims can mitigate the negative effects of terrorism news. In this study, participants were shown Islamist terrorism news in a quota-based 2 (news: differentiated vs. undifferentiated) × 2 (perpetrator characteristics: insider vs. outsider, that is, a threat from within vs. an alien threat) experiment ( N = 444). Exposure to differentiated news increased attitudinal differentiation of Muslims from terroris…
Victims of Islamist and Right-Wing Terrorism in the Press
Existing research suggests bias in the news coverage about Islamist (IT) and right-wing terrorism (RWT) when it comes to labeling, reporting frequency, or describing the perpetrators. Yet, little is known about differences in victim depiction between the two types of terrorism. We analyzed newspaper articles (N = 1,033) from four European countries to investigate how background, contextual factors, and victim characteristics shape whether victims…
Silent Sympathy
Right-wing terrorist (RWT) incidents targeting Muslims have become more frequent and news reporting about these incidents can trigger a variety of cognitions and behaviors in audiences.While some studies report more tolerance and openness in response to RWT, hate crimes against minorities can increase in their aftermath.To date, we know little about the associations between following news reporting about RWT and attitudes toward Muslims as one of…
I stand up for us
Terrorism has the potential to divide societies. It is particularly relevant to investigate how Islamist terrorism on social media is associated with Muslim minorities’ attitudes and behaviors. This study examined how seeing terrorism on social media relates to Muslim minority individuals’ perceived stigmatization. We further investigated how perceived stigmatization translates to social media behaviors, namely, terror-related online self-disclos…
The affective nexus between refugees and terrorism
Social media, as an important resource of information for many contentious topics, has great affective potential in terms of anger and fear. We investigated how exposure to news about refugees on social media is related to negative attitudes toward refugees as well as attitudinal differentiation with respect to Muslims and terrorists. A two‐wave panel survey (NT2 = 524) showed that social media use about refugees was not directly related to negat…
Who Says “Muslims Are Not Terrorists”? News Differentiation, Muslim versus Non-Muslim Sources, and Attitudes toward Muslims
Media coverage on terrorism can lead to negative attitudes toward Muslims. We theorize that undifferentiated news—i.e. not explicitly distinguishing Muslims from terrorists—can accelerate these negative effects. In a quota-based 2 (news differentiation: differentiated and undifferentiated) × 2 (expert interviewee source: Muslim and non-Muslim) between-subjects experiment (N = 291), participants read news about Islamist terrorism. A control group …
See something, say something? The role of online self-disclosure on fear of terror among young social media users
Given that terrorism is omnipresent on social media, it is imperative to study how seeing terror content online is related to individuals’ attitudes, behaviors, and emotions. This study investigates how exposure to terrorism on social media associates with terror-related online self-disclosure and how self-disclosure, in turn, relates to fear of terrorism. A quota-based survey of young social media users (16- to 25-year-olds; N = 864) in Germany …
Who was hurt? Effects of victim characteristics in news articles about far-right violence on fear and terrorism label use
Right-wing extremist (RWE) violence and terrorism pose a severe threat to Western societies, including Germany. This study tests how differences in journalistic descriptions of minority and majority victims of such attacks affect news readers. Building on social identity theory, we conducted a 2 (nationality: German, Turkish) × 2 (humanization, no humanization) × 2 (ingroup activation, no ingroup activation) between-subjects experiment in Germany…
A Vicious Cycle? Threat of Terror, Perceived Media Bias, and Support for Surveillance Policies
Islamist terrorist attacks and existing terror threat can seriously affect intergroup relations and policy making. Drawing on hostile media effect theory and intergroup threat theory, we hypothesized that perceived threat of terror influences perceived news media bias in favor of Muslims as well as support for surveillance policies that are perceived to be restrictive for Muslims. In addition, we assumed that media bias positively predicts survei…
Trust in Science, Perceived Media Exaggeration About Covid-19, and Social Distancing Behavior
For many individuals, the media function as a primary source of information about preventative measures to combat COVID-19. However, a considerable number of citizens believe that the media coverage about pandemics is exaggerated. Although the perception of media exaggeration may be highly consequential for individual health behaviors, we lack research on the drivers and consequences of this perception. In a two-wave panel study, we examined asso…
