“There Are Risks, but I Will Use It Anyway”
Generative AI is rapidly evolving, yet our understanding of how the public assesses and evaluates this technology remains limited. This is particularly true for youths who traditionally are early adopters of new technologies. Our study investigates how sociodemographic variables as well as risk perceptions influence youths′ future urge to regulate as well as their future intention to use generative AI in Indonesia, Austria, Serbia, and Hong Kong …
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…
The Relationship Between Incidental News Exposure and Political Participation
In the modern, networked information environment, incidental exposure (IE) to political news is often theorized to benefit democracy, particularly by fueling political participation. Using cross-national survey data with more than 28,000 respondents from seventeen countries, we distinguished between first-level IE (i.e., the mere scanning of incidentally encountered information) and second-level IE (i.e., effortful processing of incidentally enco…
Fear, Anger, and Mistrust
The rise of right-wing alternative media across many Western democracies has been discussed as a challenge to democratic institutions and processes, contributing to the erosion of political trust. Political trust scholars, as well as previous research on alternative media use, have both recognized that emotions play a crucial role in their subject of study. However, research investigating this affective component is extremely sparse. Drawing from…
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…
Feeling informed or being informed about politics? Effects of first- and second-level incidental exposure on political surveillance knowledge and internal political efficacy
Uninformed participation might be a threat to the functioning of democracies. Scholars have pointed out the discrepancy that social media use is positively associated with political engagement but, if at all, has an unclear relationship with political knowledge. One of the most prominent ways citizens encounter political information on social media is incidental exposure (IE). Building on recent theorizing, we distinguish between first- (superfic…

AI in the Newsroom
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being adapted for news production tasks in news outlets worldwide. Whether the public trusts news outlets relying on AI to produce news remains unclear. Further, the economic implications (willingness to pay and ad acceptance) and moderators remain unexplored. We conducted a pre-registered 2 × 2 experiment with a quota-based nonprobability sample from Germany (N = 1,261). Respondents were exposed to vi…
Incidental and intentional exposure in a mock election setting on social media
As political campaigns increasingly use social media to reach voters, scholars debate whether users actually acquire election-related knowledge or merely perceive themselves as more knowledgeable. It remains unclear whether social media enhances voting that aligns with users' political attitudes ("correct voting"). Previous studies suggest social media effects vary substantially based on whether exposure is intentional or incidental. In a between…
Social media information literacy
In this study, we present a novel scale for measuring social media information literacy (SMIL) that encompasses six sub-dimensions: navigation, curation, appraisal, comprehension, creation, and interaction. We also examine antecedents of SMIL, its association with information overload, and possible indirect consequences such as news avoidance and conspiracy thinking. Relying on a two-wave panel dataset (n = 901), we first used factor analysis to …
Democratic Consequences of Incidental Exposure to Political Information
In the last two decades, communication research dedicated substantial attention to the effects of incidental exposure (IE) to political information. In this meta-analysis, we analyzed the relationship of IE and five outcomes relevant for democracies. Including 106 distinct samples with more than 100,000 respondents, we observed positive cross-sectional relationships between IE and news use, political knowledge, political participation, expressive…
Seeing political information online incidentally. Effects of first- and second-level incidental exposure on democratic outcomes
Today, the internet and particularly social media offer lots of opportunities to encounter political information incidentally. Motivated by conflicting findings regarding the effects of incidental exposure (IE) on political outcomes, researchers recently developed new theoretical models. Building on the Political Incidental News Exposure (PINE) model, we distinguish two levels of IE to political information, first-level (i.e., mere scanning of IE…
Platform-dependent effects of incidental exposure to political news on political knowledge and political participation
Encountering news on social media is common even for individuals not actively looking for it – a phenomenon referred to as incidental exposure to political news (IE). A growing body of research has explored how IE on social media relates to political knowledge and participation. Yet, little research has considered that the effects of IE may differ across platforms. This study examined platform-dependent effects (across Facebook, Twitter, and YouT…
Antecedents of intentional and incidental exposure modes on social media and consequences for political participation
This study investigates antecedents and consequences of incidental and intentional exposure behavior to political information on social media. Based on the Social Media Political Participation Model (SMPPM), we investigated how political and non-political motivations predict intentional and incidental exposure modes while accounting for moderators (i.e., personal curation skills and the frequency of social media political exposure). We also exami…
Learning from Incidental Exposure to Political Information in Online Environments
This article aims to explain learning outcomes of incidental exposure (IE) to political information in online environments. Drawing on the Political Incidental News Exposure Model, we predict learning outcomes by distinguishing between first-level (i.e., scanning of incidentally encountered information) and second-level IE (i.e., effortful processing of incidentally encountered information appraised as relevant). Furthermore, we conceptualize int…
Processing news on social media. The political incidental news exposure model (Pine)
This article outlines the Political Incidental News Exposure Model. The Political Incidental News Exposure Model understands incidental news exposure as a dynamic process and distinguishes two levels of incidental news exposure: the passive scanning of incidentally encountered political information (first level) and the intentional processing of incidentally encountered content appraised as relevant (second level). After encountering political in…
