Political efficacy positively predicts online political participation, and med…
To bond or bridge
The latest 2024 Taiwan General Election proved to be yet another arena for populist politics, with candidates aligning their stances and aspirations with populism, uniting “the people” through different means.

Specifically, given the wide body of existing litera…

Within the context of the ongoing nation building process in the self-governing territory of Taiwan in the past two decades, this study offers a telling…

Based on the nationwide survey dataset collected from Taiwanese universitiy students, we ca…
The effects of digital media upon labor knowledge and attitudes
Existing studies on digital media and labor seldom pay attention to youth in vocational education (VE), nor do they consider the use of and attitudes towards digital media in connection with labor subjectivity. This research fills the gap by exploring how patterns of digital communication relate to each other in exerting influence on labor knowledge and attitudes in the setting of a vocational school. We present findings from a unique survey data…

Previous studies based on the self-determination theory have examined the effects of the three basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness on problematic video game playing among Chinese young adults. Yet, as more evidence emerged pointing to the possible relation between nee…
