Adolescents' Contributions to Family Communication Patterns
Early explications of family communication patterns (FCP) suggested that a family's communication pattern arises as a result of interactions in which parents and adolescents influence each other. In contrast, empirical research usually treats FCP as parent-imposed norms that influence socialization outcomes in adolescents, without testing whether adolescents' socialization influences FCP. This study revisits the assumption that adolescents influe…
From Top-Down to Trickle-Up Influence
A growing number of theorists are calling for a revival of research on political socialization based on the premise that children are active in their own civic development. We advance this argument a step further by proposing a model of family communication that reverses the roles of parents and children as conventionally understood in political socialization. Adolescent children are not merely receptive to political stimulation; they possess the…

Attention to Counter-Attitudinal Messages in a State Election Campaign
Research following the "selective exposure" model has focused on avoidance of political messages with which a person might disagree. But positive attention to such "counter-attitudinal" messages is worthy of study, in part because normative theories of democracy value exposure to information that might disturb citizens' political predispositions. Surveys of youth (N = 417) and parents (N = 430) examine attention to newspaper, television, and Web …
Studying the New Communication of Politics
A research agenda set forth in the 1975 book Political Communication is well suited for study in an era when conventional mass communication gives way to less centralized channels. Features of this approach include a focus on behavior and cognitions rather than inferred attitudes, close attention to measurement of media experience, conceptualization of curvilinear processes that occur over time, comparative theorizing that can be tested across di…
Closing Gaps in Political Communication and Knowledge
A model of family influence that reverses the traditional roles of parents and children is presented to explain the results of a school intervention that narrowed political communication and knowledge gaps between parents of high and low socioeconomic status (SES). Students' exposure to a civics curriculum stimulated adolescent news media use at home and discussions with parents about an ongoing election campaign. These discussions, in turn, stim…
George Gallup and Ralph Nafziger
In keeping with end-of-century biographies of great leaders, this essay traces the careers of opinion pollster George Gallup and journalism educator Ralph Nafziger. They inadvertently overlapped in 1930, by publishing the first Journalism Quarterly articles on newspaper readers. Gallup became internationally recognized as creator of the Gallup Poll and other media audience enterprises. He invented some standard questions that are used in academic…
Health Campaign Channels Tradeoffs Among Reach, Specificity, and Impact
The authors examined comparative effects of five health campaign channels used in the Stanford Five-City Multifactor Risk Reduction Project. Three distinct criterion variables were evaluated: (a) reach, measured as the number of messages intervention community residents remembered; (b) specificity, assessed by examining whether the campaign differentially reached those who were already knowledgeable and practicing cardiovascular disease risk redu…

How Americans Get Political Information
This article examines the extent to which major sources of political information affect citizen learning. Recent empirical comparisons of mass media channels show, contrary to earlier research, that television news is informative for American voters, albeit in ways different from newspapers. Television news provides more information about candidates; newspapers, more about parties. Both are sources of issue information. Print media are consulted …
Communication behavior and presidential approval
This study compares empirically the relationship between presidential approval and interpersonal discussion in parallel with the role of mass media, during the 1992 U.S. primary election campaign. Data were collected in a panel survey of 670 randomly sampled registered voters in four California counties (Humboldt, Santa Clara, Orange, and San Diego). Interviews were conducted by telephone at the beginning of the primary campaign, and again just a…

Political Knowledge and the Campaign Media of 1992
Effects of various mass media on political learning during the 1992 presidential campaign are examined via analyses of two voter surveys conducted in different states. Three indicators of political knowledge are compared: differences on issues between parties (Republican vs. Democratic), differences on issues among candidates (Bush vs. Clinton vs. Perot), and personal knowledge about the candidates (Bush, Clinton, and Perot). Campaign media, incl…

The Bridging Role of Television in Immigrant Political Socialization
A survey of Korean-American immigrants in California compares television news with other socialization factors in the acquisition of knowledge about American politics. U. S. television news exposure ranks alongside the newspaper as a positive predictor of U.S. political learning for this sample of Korean immigrants and is more important than other predictors, including years of schooling. Among long-time U.S. residents and those with strong Engli…
Computers, Mass Media, and Schooling
Functional equivalence theory was applied to a study of eighth graders contrasting recreational users and intellectual users of computers in terms of academic performance and use of other media. Recreational users, who play video games frequently, were the heaviest television viewers and performed the most poorly at school. Intellectual users, who use computers for writing programs and for schoolwork, were the lightest television viewers and demo…

Three Processes of Value Change without Behavioral Change
Two experiments on information processing replicate earlier findings that a person's evaluation of an object changes as a function of its salience to him, its pertinence relations with other objects, and the reduction of cognitive dissonance. However, these effects do not carry over to corresponding changes in his directed behavior toward the object. It is suggested that communication research might limit itself to value change and those cognitiv…
