Self-effects of (perceived) public vs. private opinion expression, elaboration, and composition
Self-effects in communication research refer to effects of opinion expressions on the senders themselves. Despite growing empirical support for self-effects, moderators and mediators of these self-effects are barely researched. The article outlines theoretical arguments that individuals elaborate more and put more effort into message composition when expecting a public vs. a private setting. This, in turn, should lead to higher self-effects on th…
Won’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough? Determinants of Disengaging From Mobile Media Apps in Daily Life
While permanent connectivity has made media use ubiquitous and apps have become engagement optimized, little research has focused on the termination of (mobile) media sessions. This study addresses this shortcoming by exploring how internal, environmental, and media context cues situationally prompt users to stop using an app. In an event-based experience sampling study, 118 participants reported on disengagement from TikTok or Instagram ( T = 1,…
Distinguishing Person-Specific from Situation-Specific Variation in Media Use
Media use varies between persons (person-specific variation) and within persons (situation-specific variation, that is, the same individual uses media differently across situations). Understanding the relative importance of these two levels of variation in media use is fundamental to theory building as it helps determine whether theories of media use should focus on person- or situation-specific factors. To examine the relative importance of pers…
The Role of Connection Cues for Co-Present Smartphone Use in Everyday Life
Co-present smartphone use—the use of smartphones in the presence of others—is a prevalent behavior in social contexts. However, the situational mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. While previous research has primarily conceptualized co-present smartphone use as a stable individual disposition and focused on person-level determinants, the role of specific situational characteristics has remained largely unexplored. Addr…
The situation in media and communication research
Communication researchers have long sought to situate or contextualize media behaviors in their natural settings. However, the many approaches taken to understand media behavior in context have varied considerably. This article proposes a metatheoretical framework for theorizing media behavior at the situational level, encompassing the entirety of circumstances surrounding a media behavior at a given moment. The framework describes how psychologi…
Routines and the Predictability of Day-to-Day Web Use
Given the high importance of Web use in day-to-day life, understanding and predicting Web browsing behavior are important endeavors for academic as well as commercial research. We propose that routines – behaviors that are performed regularly (activation) and in similar ways (execution) – can be used to describe underlying structures in Web use and, thereby, improve the predictability of subsequent Web use behavior. Based on two large-scale Web-t…
Who “phubs”? A systematic meta-analytic review of phubbing predictors
Phubbing (i.e., snubbing someone in face-to-face interactions by focusing on one's phone instead of those present) has increased enormously in recent years and has become a widespread usage phenomenon that is associated with negative consequences, for instance for relationships and friendships. To better understand the predictors of phubbing behavior, the present paper provides a systematic overview of the growing research field. Based on a meta-…
Internet-Related Disorders and Their Effects on Personality Development in Adolescents from Germany—Results from a Prospective Study
Internet-related disorders (IRD) are increasingly becoming a major health issue. IRD are defined as the predominant use of online content, related to a loss of control and continued use despite negative consequences. Despite findings from cross-sectional studies, the causality of pathways accelerating the development of IRD are unclear. While etiological models emphasize the role of personality as risk factor, mutual influences between IRD and pe…
Mobile (Self-)Socialization
Two of the most important developmental tasks in adolescence are developing autonomy and establishing relationships (i.e., friendships and romantic relationships). Self-socialization processes are relevant in mastering these developmental tasks. Mobile media are predestined as tools for such self-socialization: Their affordances—universality, private accessibility, and ubiquity—closely match the developmental needs of adolescents and no other med…
Mobile Devices as Tools for Media and Communication Research
Mobile devices are deeply embedded in people’s everyday lives. On the one hand, this opens up a new field for media and communication research. On the other hand, the widespread diffusion allows for integrating mobile devices into our methodological toolkit. Researchers across the globe have creatively started to take advantage of these new opportunities in the past years. One area of development is building upon the tradition of repeated self-re…
What determines instant messaging communication? Examining the impact of person- and situation-level factors on IM responsiveness
Acknowledging that the way mobile communication is used is shaped by socially negotiated social norms, this study examined the factors that impact instant messaging (IM) communication at the person and situation levels using the experience sampling method (ESM). We measured how the characteristics at the person level (i.e., availability and responsiveness preferences), contextual factors (i.e., location and copresence of others), and message-rela…
Day-to-day routines of media platform use in the digital age
Using Giddens's structuration theory, this study examines how the routinized use of traditional and new media platforms differently align with the structures of everyday life. We analyzed data from a quantitative diary study in Germany to find that new media platforms specifically affect societal structuration by blurring the lines between obligations and leisure time. The part played by routines in the use of new media platforms was less strongl…
Refining the Response-Frequency Measure of Media Habit – The role of time pressure
Media habits attract growing attention in communication research. Therefore, valid measures of habit strength are needed. The response-frequency measure of media habit (RFMMH) provides an implicit approach. It does not rely on retrospective self-reports of the habitual character of a behavior. Participants are presented with vignettes referring to various goal situations and choose under time pressure script-based which media device they would us…
Why Should I Help You? Man Up! Bystanders' Gender Stereotypic Perceptions of a Cyberbullying Incident
Bystanders observing a cyberbullying incident do not always intervene in favor of the victim. We argue that gender stereotypic perceptions of female versus male victims contribute to the differential reactions of bystanders to cyberbullying incidents. Results of a scenario-based experiment show that participants with moderate or high levels of sexist attitudes are more empathic toward a female victim of workplace cyberbullying. Consequently, a fe…

The impact of personal experience in cultivation
People's perception of reality is essentially based on two different sources: Personal experience and mass media content. This paper contributes to the understanding of how these two sources are related when shaping reality estimations (demographic fact knowledge) and attitudes (victimization fears and mean world attitudes). Drawing on a cultivation study based on quotas representative for the German population aged 18 and above (n = 236), three …
