Presidential debates and voter decision making
Research suggests that televised debates, which create a rare but valuable environment of cross-cutting exposure, result in partisan reinforcement and polarization. Extending this line of inquiry, the present study aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of debate effects by re-conceptualizing their nature and boundary. Analyses of national survey data collected in two election cycles demonstrate that debate viewing strengthens a voter’s dec…
Influencing Myself: Self-Reinforcement Through Online Political Expression
Over the past decade, various online communication platforms have empowered citizens to express themselves politically. Although the political impact of online citizen expression has drawn considerable attention, research has largely focused on whether and how citizen-generated messages influence the public as an information alternative to traditional news outlets. The present study aims to provide a new perspective on understanding citizen expre…
Leveling or tilting the playing field: Social networking sites and offline political communication inequality
Building on a resource theory, this study investigates (a) how individuals' socio-economic status is related to political communication in offline situations and on social networking sites and (b) whether political expression on SNS improves socio-economic stratification in offline political discussion. Analyses of a national survey demonstrate that the impact of individuals' socio-economic status (SES) is much weaker on political expression via …

Personifying the Radical: How News Framing Polarizes Security Concerns and Tolerance Judgments
This study examines relationships among individual dispositions, news framing of civil liberties restrictions, security concerns, and political tolerance. We theorize that news frames condition the effects of individual dispositions on security and tolerance attitudes. To explore these relationships, an online-survey experiment was conducted with 650 respondents. This experiment presented alternative versions of news stories about domestic securi…
Media Dialogue: Perceiving and Addressing Community Problems
Scholars have long debated the role of media and discussion in encouraging tolerance and engagement in politics and community. Theories range from the dismissal of effects to the assertion of powerful influences, and from claims of “media malaise” to the promise of “virtuous circles. ” Of course, results from research exploring these issues vary by context and methods of study. Yet most past research is plagued by at least 1 of 2 methodological w…
The Citizen-Consumer: Media Effects at the Intersection of Consumer and Civic Culture
Scholars in various fields have speculated that the commercialization of mass media has contributed to the decline of civic culture. They contend that the personal needs emphasized by product-saturated mass media diminish civic-mindedness by creating an individualistic consumption-oriented culture. Despite this critique, some scholars argue that mass media do not erode civic culture in favor of consumer culture; rather, the two are thought to be …
Media, Terrorism, and Emotionality: Emotional Differences in Media Content and Public Reactions to the September 11th Terrorist Attacks
Research on print and broadcast media shows differences in cognitive and affective responses. We extend that research by combining content analysis and survey methods to examine medium differences in the emotional tone of coverage concerning the September 11th terrorist attacks, and audience differences in emotional reactions to the attacks. A computer- aided content analysis of national television and newspaper transcripts demonstrates that tele…
