  • Public engagement by strategic science communication: An evaluation study on the impact of an interactive science exhibition on the German energy transition

    Open AccessSophia Schaller, Christina Schümann et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2025

    Introduction Science exhibitions are a promising instrument to uniquely encourage public engagement with scientific issues. However, knowledge about the actual effectiveness of science communication activities is mostly lacking. Therefore, this study examined the impact of a science exhibition on the German energy transition on visitors’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral public engagement. Additionally, we extend knowledge on the role of gamif…

  • Media priming and immigration attitudes: Moderating effects of political ideology

    Open AccessMaija Ozola-Schade, Jens WollingARTICLEThe Communication Review2024

    The present study investigates whether the amount of media coverage about immigration influences individuals’ attitudes toward this topic. It was expected that such media priming effects would be dependent on preexisting partisan attitudes. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that media priming effects might be observable exclusively in individuals who identify with either the right or left of the political spectrum. The hypothesis is based on the a…

It identified three frames using cluster analysis: the "climate impact and science" frame, the "climate politics" frame, and the "climate actio…

  • Drivers of article processing charges in open access

    Open AccessOLIVER BUDZINSKI, Thomas Grebel et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2020

    Large publishing companies have been dominating scientific publishing for long, which leads to high subscription fees and inhibited access to scientific knowledge. At digital era, the opportunity of an unrestricted access appears feasible, because the cost of publishing should be low. It is no longer the readers and libraries to pay subscription fees, but scientific organizations and authors themselves who pay for the cost of having their article…

  • Subjective Evaluation of Media Content as a Moderator of Media Effects on European Identity: Mere Exposure and the Hostile Media Phenomenon

    Open AccessWaqas Ejaz, Marco Bräuer et al.ARTICLEMedia and Communication2017

    This paper posits that the concept of European identity is an important indicator of the legitimacy of the European Union (EU). It further assumes that the exposure to EU related media content can influence the feeling of European identity. In order to verify this assumption, we combined the mere-exposure-theory and the hostile media phenomenon. We assume that these theoretical concepts could help to understand the influence of media on people’s …

  • Ich will davon nichts mehr sehen und hören!“ Exploration des Phänomens Themenverdrossenheit

    Open AccessChristoph Kuhlmann, Christina Schümann et al.ARTICLEMedien & Kommunikationswissenschaft2014

    Der Beitrag untersucht das Phänomen der Themenverdrossenheit. Vermutet wird, dass manche Rezipienten auf Themen, über die lange und intensiv in den Nachrichten berichtet wird, ab einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt mit Widerstand reagieren und die Berichterstattung über diese Themen ggf. sogar aktiv vermeiden. Die Aufarbeitung des Forschungsstands legt nahe, dass Themenverdrossenheit in der Kommunikationswissenschaft bisher nicht untersucht wurde. Eine er…

The presentation of these actors in the media may underpin social norms and generate positiv effects on personal ecological behavior. To investigate these possible media effects a 2x3 experimental design (plus a control group) was applied using the issue of plastic wa…

  • Die Presseberichterstattung über die Weltklimakonferenz in Kopenhage

    Open AccessDorothee Arlt, Jens WollingARTICLEStudies in Communication and Media2012

    Eine der zentralen Herausforderungen globaler Klimapolitik ist es, sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen der Notwendigkeit internationaler Kooperationen einerseits und nationaler Eigeninteressen andererseits auf nachhaltige Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz zu einigen und diese auch auf nationaler Ebene durchzusetzen. Die jährlich stattfindenden UN-Weltklimakonferenzen sind dafür ein wichtiges Forum. Aus kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive handelt es s…

    Open AccessDorothee Arlt, Imke Hoppe et al.ARTICLEInternational Communication Gazette2011Cited by: 13References: 6

An integrated model for explaining awareness of environmental problems and behavioural intentions is developed. The model is then tested using data from a Germany-wide representative survey. In contrast to most previous studies, this investigation focuses not on the effects of selective, topic-specific media usage, but on the differential…

  • Das Internet als Gegenstand und Instrument der empirischen Kommunikationsforschung

    Jens Wolling, Christoph KuhlmannCHAPTERDie neue Kommunikationswissenschaft…2003

    Hat sich die Kommunikationswissenschaft so dramatisch verändert, dass von einer neuen Kommunikationsmssenschaft gesprochen werden muss? Was ist neu an der neuen Kommunikationswissenschaft? Wissenschaftliche Forschung — verstanden als ein kumulativer Prozess — ist dadurch definiert, dass neues Wissen produziert wird. Im Hinblick auf die Ergebnisse ist Wissenschaft also definitionsgemäß immer neu. Wenn es aber nicht die wissenschaftlichen Ergebniss…
