The Knowledge Gap in a High-Choice Media Environment
Designing citizen renewable energy projects for women
Citizen renewable energy projects address the growing need for scaling up renewable energy generation. Considering the underrepresentation of women in energy transition topics, we investigate women's intention to participate in such projects, specifically which factors are most impactful for motivating women as compared to men. We employ a stated choice approach to assess the impact of a variety of variables including energy source, type of organ…
Doing gender in energy communities
Equitable renewable energy strategies must prioritize inclusivity and address energy poverty among marginalized groups. • Dismantling barriers and disrupting gendered structures are essential for ensuring equal opportunities. • Due to lack of equality, doing gender based on male superior and female subordinate can take place in energy communities. • Implementing targeted initiatives promotes gender equality and diversification within energy commu…
Examining bias perpetuation in academic search engines
Researchers rely on academic Web search engines to find scientific sources, but search engine mechanisms may selectively present content that aligns with biases embedded in queries. This study examines whether confirmation biased queries prompted into Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar will yield results aligned with a query’s bias. Six queries (topics across health and technology domains such as ‘vaccines’, ‘Internet use’) were analyzed for dis…
Refugee or Expat, Hero or Threat
Search engines play a gatekeeper role in current high-choice information environments. Considered a form of new media, users are still more likely to find and trust news found through search than social media sites. Indeed, search engines are one of the most utilised technologies to find political information, despite audits uncovering biases in their results, for example, towards national outlets over local ones. It is therefore important to kee…
For the climate, my friends, or my region? An experimental field trial for prosumer engagement with peer-to-peer energy trading in Austria
Collective, citizen-led approaches to energy systems are key to reducing humanity's climate impact. Crucial for their success is the engagement of energy prosumers, i.e., citizens that produce energy. This paper investigates how to best activate the identities of prosumers to participate in peer-to-peer energy trading. In collaboration with the OurPower cooperative in Austria, an experimental trial was set up: 8713 households equipped with photov…
Search engine effects on news consumption
While individuals’ trust in search engine results is well-supported, little is known about their preferences when selecting news. We use web-tracked behavioral data across a 2-month period (280 participants) and we analyze three competing factors, two algorithmic (ranking and representativeness) and one psychological (familiarity), that could influence the selection of search results. We use news engagement as a proxy for familiarity and investig…
Evidence behind the narrative
Energy Communities are playing an ever greater role in the European renewable energy transition. As an instrument for citizen-led transformation, they are associated not only with economic and environmental, but also with social benefits. However, it is unclear whether Energy Communities in Europe deliver on the positive social impact they promise. In this paper, we analyze the conceptual background of the social impact associated with Energy Com…
Representativeness and face-ism
Implicit and explicit gender biases in media representations of individuals have long existed. Women are less likely to be represented in gender-neutral media content (representation bias), and their face-to-body ratio in images is often lower (face-ism bias). In this article, we look at representativeness and face-ism in search engine image results. We systematically queried four search engines (Google, Bing, Baidu, Yandex) from three locations,…
Can electric vehicle drivers be persuaded to eco-drive? A field study of feedback, gamification and financial rewards in Germany
Do Athletes Imagine Being the Best, or Crossing the Finish Line First? A Mixed Methods Analysis of Construal Levels in Elite Athletes’ Spontaneous Imagery
The purpose of this article is to illustrate data transformation in a mixed methods research phenomenological study, investigating how athletes use concrete and abstract spontaneous imagery in and around competition. To achieve this, we combined the application of co-occurring codes and numerical transformation in a novel way. A thematic analysis of qualitative interviews with 12 elite athletes identified concrete imagery to focus on strategy gen…
