The dark side of technology
Impact of Customizability Technology on Political Polarization
We examined effects of customizability technology (also known as tailoring or personalization) on political selective exposure and political attitude polarization. Our experiment showed that selective exposure mediated the relationship between customizability technology presence and political attitude polarization. We also found that user-driven customizability (technology that enables users to modify their information environment) weakened the r…

The Impact of News Use and News Content Characteristics on Political Knowledge and Participation
Research has examined the relationship between traditional news media use and normatively important political outcomes such as knowledge and participation. However, most research fails to account for variations in the nature of news over time and across communities that could alter the fundamental relationship between exposure and these outcomes. Here two studies are presented—one with variation in news characteristics over time based on the Amer…
Media Effects in an Era of Rapid Technological Transformation
In this article, we argue that recent technological developments have made Eveland's (2003) “mix-of-attributes” (MOAs) framework particularly useful for theorizing about effects of today's “digital” media. We use an example of political user-generated content (UGC) to illustrate the framework's usefulness. We focus on 5 core attributes of UGC, which are important for understanding its nature and effects: search efficiency, customization, manipula…
Exemplifying a Dispositional Approach to Cross-Cultural Spiral of Silence Research
This article tests the cross-cultural generality of one tenet of spiral of silence theory using an individual difference approach. We argue that the spiral of silence phenomenon is, in part, a manifestation of individual differences in stable personality traits that can be measured universally regardless of country or context—specifically, fear of social isolation (FSI) and willingness to self-censor. In accordance with the theory’s predictions, …
Filtering 2008 US presidential election news on YouTube by elites and nonelites
The goals of this study are to explore several claims about the democratizing potential of the internet and to extend gatekeeping theory into user-generated content (UGC) domain. A quantitative content analysis of the most popular YouTube political news videos during the 2008 US presidential election was conducted to investigate the degree to which nonelites were able to partake in mainstream public discourse. We found that elites dominated first…
An Examination of Methodological and Theoretical Problems Arising from the Use of Political Participation Indexes in Political Communication Research
Over the last half century, political participation of citizens has been extensively studied, largely due to the importance of participation to democratic theory and practice (Dahl, 1989; Milbrath, 1965; Mutz, 2006; Pateman, 1970; Verba, Schlozman, & Brady, 1995). This research note demonstrates benefits of avoiding aggregation of various political participation acts into a single index, thus suggesting an adjustment to the methodology dominant i…
