Does following or engaging in online discussions trigger political participation? Results of two online experiments
"Hello Hackis, stay at home!" A standardised content analysis on the representation of politics and Covid-19 in German entertainment podcasts
The use of podcasts has grown steadily in recent years, with entertainment podcasts in particular becoming increasingly popular. However, the content of these podcasts remains largely unexplored. This is notable because regular listeners may develop parasocial relationships with podcast hosts, whereby the content conveyed may influence attitudes and behaviour. These potential effects are particularly important in times of socio-political crisis, …
From Unpolitical Sporadics to Political Activists
The diversity of social media platforms has expanded the possibilities for citizens to encounter political content and express political opinions. However, the patterns of users’ contact with political information and political expression across different platforms are largely unclear. Based on survey data from Germany ( n = 1054), this study investigates social media use, exposure to political content, and political expression across nine platfo…
Digitalization, value change and political consumerism in Europe
Political consumerism, including boycott engagement, has become an increasingly prominent form of political participation. Digitalization and value change are often cited as key drivers of this trend. However, there is a lack of empirical studies analysing the influence of these factors on political consumerism over time and across countries. This study utilizes data from 11 waves of the European Social Survey ( n = 313,061) across 15 countries t…
Which Perceived Opinion Climates Influence the Participation in Online Political Discussions
Based on the Spiral of Silence theory, we posit that people perceive opinion climates on three different levels: the opinion climate (1) in society, (2) among their friends, and (3) in a specific situation. Based on a three-wave panel survey with two embedded experiments (N = 1,286), we analyze whether these perceived opinion climates influence the participation in online political discussions. Results show that perceptions of the opinion climate…
News consumption, expressive social media activities, political discussions, and political consumerism
Empirical studies have shown that news consumption, expressive social media activities, and political discussions are positively related to political consumerism. However, political consumerism is usually conceptualized as boycotting and/or buycotting, neglecting discursive and lifestyle political consumerism. Moreover, most studies are based on cross-sectional data and do not explore potential reciprocal relationships. To address these research …
Which candidates benefit from social media? An analysis of the 2021 German federal election
Politische Polarisierung in und durch Massenmedien und soziale Medien auf Mikro-, Meso- und Makro-Ebene
Der Aufsatz diskutiert die Rolle von Massenmedien und sozialen Medien für die politische Polarisierung in Deutschland. Dafür schlagen wir eine theoretisch-konzeptionelle Systematisierung vor, die eine Dimensionierung entlang der Mikro-, Meso- und Makro-Ebene mit der Differenzierung von themen- und gruppenspezifischer Polarisierung verbindet. Besonders auffällig ist die Leerstelle auf der Meso-Ebene. Die Mikro-Ebene ist besser abgedeckt, hier deut…
How Do News Media for Children and Adolescents Differ from Those for Adults? A Content Analysis of German Reporting on Migration and Refugees
Media are a central source from which children and adolescents form their perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes about relevant topics such as flight and migration. However, it is largely unclear how news media for children/adolescents report on migration and refugees, and in which way this reporting differs from reporting of news media produced for adults. Thus, a standardized analysis was conducted of (audio)visual content published in 2018 by n…
Polarisation and Silencing Others During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Germany
In 2020, societies debated the use of government restrictions on public life to stem the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these debates took place online. The Internet enables people to come into contact with like-minded content. Algorithms based on collaborative filtering can contribute to this process and might lead to homogenous like-minded online environments that contribute to a polarisation of society. This article therefore examines the effects …
Why do politicians use Facebook and Twitter the way they do? The influence of perceived audience expectations
Politicians’ social media use affects their relationship with citizens. For example, politicians are better evaluated when they communicate interactively. However, they mostly use social media to broadcast information to their audience. This study asks why politicians use Facebook and Twitter the way they do. The study contends that politicians want to satisfy their audiences’ expectations, to get favorable reactions and increase their visibility…
Interplay between media-related perceptions and perceptions of hostility in international conflicts
During the European debt crisis, German and Greek media frequently reported on the political conflict between the two countries. This article examines to what extent the media coverage in one country about the other is considered by German and Greek citizens to be hostile (‘hostile media perception’) and influential (‘influence of presumed influence’). Data from a comparative survey in Germany ( n = 492) and Greece ( n = 484) show that news cover…
Politicians' Self-Reported Social Media Activities and Perceptions
The growing importance of social media in the political arena seems to be in line with the mediatization of politics thesis, which states that mediated communication is becoming more important in politics and increasingly influences political processes. However, how politicians' social media activities and politicians' perceptions concerning social media have developed over time has rarely been examined. Moreover, it is unclear how the politician…
Social Media Activities of Political Communication Practitioners
The question of why political communication practitioners use social media for strategic political communication activities has rarely been investigated. By using well-established theoretical approaches of communication research, such as the influence of presumed influence approach, this study sought to determine the extent to which the subjective perceptions of German political communication practitioners explain their professional social media …
Presumed Media Influences and Demands for Restrictions
In line with theoretical approaches, such as the influence of presumed influence approach, many studies have shown that the stronger individuals perceive the media’s influence to be on others, the more the individuals demand restrictions on the media and its influence. However, these studies provided information only about the correlation between the two constructs and did not test the direction of their causal relationship. To close this researc…
Information, communication and political consumerism
The development and diffusion of digital media is one frequently mentioned factor to explain the popularity of political consumerism; yet, to what extent (online) information and (online) communication activities influence the intensity of political consumerism has rarely been investigated. Arguing that (online) information and (online) communication activities have impacts on various forms of political consumerism – namely, on boycotts and buyco…
