  • Being literate, behaving literate? A mixed-methods approach to adolescents’ algorithm literacy and behavioral strategies on social media

    Open Access•Larissa Leonhard, Ruth Wendt et al.•ARTICLE•New Media & Society•2026

    This article investigates the relationship between adolescents’ algorithm literacy and their behavior on social media platforms. Using a mixed-methods approach, including focus groups, a mobile diary study, and a representative survey of German adolescents aged 14–17, we identify three behavioral strategies in response to algorithmically curated content: (1) indifferent behavior, such as passive scrolling; (2) interactive behavior, including liki…

  • Adolescents' Norms of Self-Presentation on Snapchat: Bitmojis as an Expression of Identity Development

    Open Access•Jessica Kuhn, Claudia Riesmeyer•ARTICLE•Social Media + Society•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 49

    Adolescents' self-presentation on social media as an expression of identity development is influenced by personal norms and perceived social norms of relevant others. Snapchat is popular and widely used by adolescents to express themselves. A Bitmoji, as an alternative to a traditional profile picture, offers a wide range of self-presentation options through an avatar editor, including body stature and pose, individual facial features, and (brand…

  • Social media use and political cynicism among German youth: The role of information-orientation, exposure to extremist content, and online media literacy

    Desirée Schmuck, Nayla Fawzi et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Children and Media•2022

    This study investigates the predictors of adolescents’ political cynicism in the social media environment. Given that social media are one of the main sources of information for many young people today, it is crucial to investigate how and in which ways social media use is associated with political cynicism. To that aim, we use data from computer-assisted personal interviews of N = 1,061 adolescents between 14 and 19 years in Germany. Our finding…

  • How to tell the kids? Parental crisis communication during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Doreen Reifegerste, Claudia Wilhelm et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Communication Sciences•2022•References: 1

    Crisis communication in a pandemic is challenging for parents, who have to explain risks and prevention measures to their children without transferring their own worries. Studies about crises indicate, that inappropriate crisis communication with children can ignite fears, worries, and even trauma among them. Recommended parental communication strategies in such situations are: (1) to consider developmental level to ensure comprehensibility; (2) …

  • Too dark to see? Explaining adolescents’ contact with online extremism and their ability to recognize it

    Angela Nienierza, Carsten Reinemann et al.•ARTICLE•Information Communication & Society•2021

    Adolescents are considered especially vulnerable to extremists’ online activities because they are ‘always online’ and because they are still in the process of identity formation. However, so far, we know little about (a) how often adolescents encounter extremist content in different online media and (b) how well they are able to recognize extremist messages. In addition, we do not know (c) how individual-level factors derived from radicalization…

  • The Normativity of Communication Research: A Content Analysis of Normative Claims in Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles (1970–2014)

    Stephanie Geise, Ulrike Klinger et al.•ARTICLE•Mass Communication & Society•2021•References: 9

    In times of rapid media change, society is increasingly asking for expertise from communication research. Well-founded assessments of current developments require knowledge of the normative foundations of the discipline, but empirical analyses of the normativity of communication research are scarce. We developed an innovative, multistep approach to make the discipline’s normative perspectives visible. We identified, systemized, and quantified nor…

    Open Access•Stephanie Geise, Ulrike Klinger et al.•ARTICLE•Publizistik•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 11

    Kommunikationswissenschaftliche Forschung ist durch die strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen geprägt, unter denen sie entsteht – etwa durch das Wissenschaftssystem, die gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen an Wissenschaft und das Mediensystem des jeweiligen Landes. Die quantitative Inhaltsanalyse untersucht im Vergleich zwischen Deutschland und den USA, inwiefern sich solche Rahmenbedingungen auf die normativen Vorstellungen auswirken, die Autorinnen aus di…

    Open Access•Arne Freya Zillich, Claudia Riesmeyer•ARTICLE•Social Media + Society•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 44

    This article examines the relative importance of personal, descriptive, and injunctive norms for adolescents' self-presentation on Instagram and analyzes the role of proximal and distal reference groups in norm negotiation. Based on 27 semi-structured interviews with German Instagram users between 14 and 19 years old, we identified four types of adolescents' self-presentation that differ in terms of norms and referent others: authentic, self-conf…

    Open Access•Claudia Riesmeyer, Julia Hauswald et al.•ARTICLE•Media and Communication•2019

    The article examines the relationship between media (and health literacy), self-representation, and nutritional behavior of girls who receive nutrition-related content on Instagram. Analyzing this relationship is important because social networks like Instagram can be used as platforms to promote one’s nutritional behavior as expression of personality and to interact with others. Countless meal images are posted, and reach a large number of users…

  • Powered by public relations? Mutual perceptions of PR practitioners’ bases of power over journalism

    Open Access•Thomas Koch, Magdalena Obermaier et al.•ARTICLE•Journalism•2017•Cited by: 9•References: 6

    Public relations practitioners depend on journalists to report information, and journalists count on public relations practitioners to provide information. This mutual dependence gives the two parties a degree of power over each other that can be wielded if certain resources are available. However, there are many unanswered questions about how public relations exerts power over journalists and how these influence attempts may affect news coverage…

  • Moved into action. Media literacy as social process

    Senta Pfaff-Rüdiger, Claudia Riesmeyer•ARTICLE•Journal of Children and Media•2016

    Media literacy has become one of the key qualifications for taking part in society. As media technology becomes more intuitive, and media and other social practices intertwine more and more, the present study uses self-determination theory and a needs-oriented approach to media literacy to better understand what makes someone media literate, as well as how media literacy influences social development. The aims of our study were, therefore, (1) to…

    Das Internet und insbesondere soziale Medien stellen die theoretische und methodische Konzeption von Medienkompetenz vor Herausforderungen. Zentral erscheint dabei die Erkenntnis, dass Wissen zwar eine notwendige, aber keine hinreichende Voraussetzung für die Ausbildung von Medienkompetenz ist. Vielmehr geht es um die Frage, inwieweit Individuen befähigt und motiviert sind, ihr Wissen in Handeln umzusetzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich – a…

    Das Interview ist eine „alte und zugleich moderne Methode, die sich heute großer Beliebtheit und Verbreitung erfreut“, schreibt Lamnek (2005, 329) zu Beginn seines Kapitels über das qualitative Interview in seinem Lehrbuch „Qualitative Sozialforschung“. Er ist sich sicher, dass es auf dem besten Weg sei, ebenso wie im „quantitativen Paradigma“ zum „Königsweg“ der qualitativen Sozialforschung zu werden (Lamnek 2005, 329). Die teilnehmende Beobacht…

Between 2005 and 2008 German journalists were questioned about their careers, their working conditions, and their role perceptions. The present study uses the field theory of Bourdieu in order to examine the factors which influence the journalists’ role perceptions. …
