Interplay between media-related perceptions and perceptions of hostility in international conflicts: Results from a study of German and Greek citizens
During the European debt crisis, German and Greek media frequently reported on the political conflict between the two countries. This article examines to what extent the media coverage in one country about the other is considered by German and Greek citizens to be hostile (‘hostile media perception’) and influential (‘influence of presumed influence’). Data from a comparative survey in Germany ( n = 492) and Greece ( n = 484) show that news cover…
Politicians' Self-Reported Social Media Activities and Perceptions: Results From Four Surveys Among German Parliamentarians
The growing importance of social media in the political arena seems to be in line with the mediatization of politics thesis, which states that mediated communication is becoming more important in politics and increasingly influences political processes. However, how politicians' social media activities and politicians' perceptions concerning social media have developed over time has rarely been examined. Moreover, it is unclear how the politician…
Social Media Activities of Political Communication Practitioners: The Impact of Strategic Orientation and In-Group Orientation
The question of why political communication practitioners use social media for strategic political communication activities has rarely been investigated. By using well-established theoretical approaches of communication research, such as the influence of presumed influence approach, this study sought to determine the extent to which the subjective perceptions of German political communication practitioners explain their professional social media …
Presumed Media Influences and Demands for Restrictions: Using Panel Data to Examine the Causal Direction
In line with theoretical approaches, such as the influence of presumed influence approach, many studies have shown that the stronger individuals perceive the media’s influence to be on others, the more the individuals demand restrictions on the media and its influence. However, these studies provided information only about the correlation between the two constructs and did not test the direction of their causal relationship. To close this researc…
Constructive or repressive
According to the third-person effect or the influence of presumed media influence approach, the presumption that the media has strong effects on other people can affect individuals' attitudes and behavior. For instance, if people believe in strong media influences on others, they are more likely to increase their communication activities or support demands for restrictions on media. A standardized online survey among German journalists (N = 960) …
Corrective or Confirmative Actions? Political Online Participation as a Consequence of Presumed Media Influences in Election Campaigns
In the investigation of political participation, one potential influencing factor has so far hardly been considered: it is to a large extent unknown whether perceived influences of (online) media result in increased political (online) participation. To prove this, a survey among the population in the German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia was conducted in the context of an election (n = 485). The results show that perceived strong online inf…
Local Politics Online: The Influence of Presumed Influence on Local Politicians’ Online Communication Activities in Germany
How extensively local politicians use online media to communicate with others and the factors that influence their online activities have rarely been examined. In particular, it is unknown whether local politicians use online media more extensively when they believe that online media has a strong political influence on others. To examine this, a standardised survey among German local politicians was conducted (n = 608). The results showed the fol…
Schützen, Aufklären oder Erziehen? Die Einschätzung kommunikationspolitischer Maßnahmen als Folge der Wahrnehmung des politischen Einflusses von Online-Medien auf jüngere Menschen
The growing significance of online media has prompted a public debate about the potential consequences of this development. For instance, the perception that online media have a substantial influence on how young people in particular view and evaluate political processes is very widespread. On the basis of theoretical approaches like the influence of presumed media influence approach, it was examined which claims citizens make concerning communic…
Do Even Journalists Support Media Restrictions? Presumed Political Media Influences and the Consequences
How journalists perceive the influence of different types of media and how this perception affects the journalists’ attitude toward supporting censorship was explored by conducting a survey among German journalists ( N = 1,688). As predicted, the stronger journalists perceive the political influence of the media to be on the public, the more they approve of, for example, demands for restricting this influence. At the same time, behavioral intenti…
Presumed Online Media Influence and Support for Censorship: Results from a Survey among German Parliamentarians
The consequences of perceived media influences have been examined in numerous studies on the third-person effect (Davison, 1983) and the influence of presumed media influence approach (Gunther & Storey, 2003). One consequence, namely the support for media censorship, is viewed as the “gold standard” (Cohen & Weimann, 2008, p. 386): Individuals demand to limit the power of the media because they perceive a strong and negative media impact on other…
