Does hate attract likes? Offensive language and audience engagement in partisan YouTube videos
Spreading anger, selling hope
This study examined whether and to what extent partisan YouTube channels contribute to polarisation – both affective and cognitive – in electoral contexts. Affective polarisation was here defined as anger toward political out-groups, while cognitive polarisation was conceptualised biased perceptions of public support and divergent electoral expectations favouring the in-group. The study draws on two original datasets collected during the week pri…
Ideological Citizens’ Pro-attitudinal Media Exposure and Ideological Polarization
Concerns over ideological polarization are increasing, and ideological citizens’ pro-attitudinal media exposure has been suspected to worsen polarization in modern democracies. However, the psychological mechanism mediating pro-attitudinal media exposure and political polarization remains uninvestigated. This study modifies and extends the influence of the presumed influence model to investigate media influence in ideologically polarized politics…
Emotional Valence and Trajectory in Donation-Based Crowdfunding
This study investigates how emotional valence and emotional trajectory in donation-based crowdfunding messages influence actual donation behavior. Using a large dataset from two major crowdfunding platforms—GoFundMe and DonorSee—we apply automated sentiment analysis to examine two dimensions of emotional appeal: (1) mean emotional valence (positive or negative tone) and (2) emotional trajectory (the flow of valence over the course of a message). …
Learning from YouTube? The role of exposure to partisan YouTube channels and news literacy in political learning during the South Korean general election campaign
Unraveling the Thought Probes of US Legislators on Trade Negotiations
A plethora of literature has investigated the voting behavior of US legislators on trade bills to reveal a possible causal mechanism. Relying on dichotomous roll‐call voting data, however, has certain limitations on revealing the comprehensive thought probes of lawmakers on a complex diplomatic issue such as making an FTA deal. In this paper, we provide new insight to fill such a gap by analyzing congressional speech data during FTA ratification …
The higher the news literacy, the wider the partisan gap on misinformation acceptance? The three-way interaction effects of news literacy, partisanship, and exposure to partisan YouTube channels on mi…
Drawing on two competing hypotheses from the prevention and partisan gap frameworks, this study tests how news literacy, partisanship, and exposure to partisan YouTube channels interact to influence misinformation acceptance. Partisan YouTube channels in this study refer to a type of soft journalistic content with a partisan perspective. Panel survey data ( N = 808) collected during the 2020 South Korean General Election campaign were analyzed. S…
Talking about what would happen versus what happened
In counterfactual thinking, an imagined alternative to the reality that comprises an antecedent and a consequent is widely adopted in political discourse to justify past behaviors (i.e., counterfactual explanation) or to depict a better future (i.e., prefactual). However, they have not been properly addressed in political communication literature. Our study examines how politicians used counterfactual expressions for explanation of the past or pr…
Word Use as an Unobtrusive Predictor of Early Departure From Organizations
Past studies have emphasized members’ personality as an important predictor of departure from organizations, but the measurement of this factor has mostly relied on self-judged personality. As alternatives to self-judged personality, our study examines how two unobtrusive measures—others-judged personality and computerized text analytic results through Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count 2015 (Pennebaker et al., 2015)—are related to members’ depart…
Swiping for trouble
More and more individuals hunt for information on and reach out to potential romantic partners through mobile dating applications available on their smartphones. Although these emerging technologies offer social benefits, certain individuals become overly dependent on such applications and suffer from negative outcomes. Relatively little research in online dating to date has investigated what predicts problematic use of such social technologies. …
Citizens’ Ambivalence toward Female Politicians
This study investigated citizens' ambivalence toward female politicians and how valenced information about the politician helps them resolve their ambivalence, making them form polarized attitudes toward the candidate. Our study's participants felt stronger ambivalence toward a female candidate than a male candidate; those feeling stronger ambivalence reported more one-sided thoughts about and more extreme evaluation of the candidate, but only wh…
Two faces of social comparison on Facebook
Fake News Should Be Regulated Because It Influences Both “Others” and “Me”
We argue that the influence of presumed influence (IPI) model (Gunther & Storey, 2003) should be extended through an additional interaction term between the presumed effects of media on “others” (PME3) and the “self” (PME1). Doing so would enable testing of whether individuals who perceive a mutually shared influence of the media show stronger support for censorship. The IPI model does not suffer from the methodological limitations of the convent…
How to effectively design public health interventions
This study investigated whether individuals with different socioeconomic status (SES) should be provided differently tailored health messages to promote healthy dietary behaviour (HDB). Prior research has suggested that people with different SESs tend to exhibit different types of beliefs about health, but it remains unclear how SES interacts with these beliefs to influence health outcomes. To better understand the differences in HDB between high…
Online news diffusion dynamics and public opinion formation
On the Internet, the line between news and opinion becomes blurred in terms of content and form. In this sense, the processes of news diffusion on the Internet and online public opinion formation are integrated. This study selects one Korean example about the private tweet of a judge about government social network service (SNS) regulation and analyzes citation networks from one news/opinion to another news/opinion. By relying on social network a…
Forms of Expression of Angry Voters and Sad Voters
Despite the proliferation of studies on emotion, little attention has been paid to the effects of discrete emotion on political participation. Using a representative survey conducted on a sample of South Korean citizens in the aftermath of the Sewol ferry accident, the current survey explored how anger and sadness, as well as the ways people express those emotions, influence the orientation of their response in social environments and, ultimately…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Nonverbal Cues in Emoticons on Twitter
Relying on Gudykunst's cultural variability in communication (CVC) framework and culture-specific facial expressions of emotion, we examined how people's use of emoticons varies cross-culturally. By merging emoticon usage patterns on Twitter with Hofstede's national culture scores and national indicators across 78 countries, this study found that people within individualistic cultures favor horizontal and mouth-oriented emoticons like :), while t…
Changing the default setting for information privacy protection
With Internet service providers (ISPs) increasingly demanding personal information to develop personalized services, people have become more vulnerable to privacy infringement. As a way to protect
Focusing the mediating role of institutional trust
Numerous organization scholars point out that trust is crucial for well-functioning organizations. However, trust in organizational settings could differ according to the objects of trust. This study compares two conceptually different models: main-effect model and mediation-effect model. The main-effect model assumes that both interpersonal trust and institutional trust promote organizational commitment independently, but the mediation-effect mo…
Relationship Between Cultural Distance and Cross-Cultural Music Video Consumption on YouTube
With the wide diffusion of social media like YouTube in the world, it becomes much easier to access foreign cultural products, which facilitates cross-cultural consumption of media content. Despite the rapid growth of cross-cultural consumption online, there is a dearth of large-scale studies examining how cultural products originated from certain culture are consumed and enjoyed among users of different cultures. Three data sets are used in the …
Minority comparison model
Most Racial Studies primarily focus on African Americans without paying attention to nonblack minorities, and it fails to capture recent increase in racial diversity. Based on previous theories and empirical findings, we propose a new model, minority comparison model, which accounts for theoretical shortcomings in Racial Studies. This model (1) captures psychological processes that compare blacks and nonblacks, and (2) explores the effects of whi…
Automating Content Analysis of Open-Ended Responses
This study presents automated methods for predicting valence and quantifying valenced thoughts of a text. First, it examines whether Wordscores , developed by Laver, Benoit, and Garry (2003), can be adapted to reliably predict the valence of open-ended responses in a survey about bioethical issues in genetics research, and then tests a complementary and novel technique for coding the number of valenced thoughts in open-ended responses, termed Aff…
Online versus face-to-face deliberation
Although there has been much speculation regarding the strengths and weaknesses of face-to-face versus online deliberative settings, no studies have systematically compared the two. Drawing on a national sample of Americans who reported deliberating face-to-face and/or online, we examine these two deliberative settings with regard to the participants, the motivations, the process, and the effects. Our findings, although tentative, suggest that th…
White Concern About Black Favoritism in a Biracial Presidential Election
Party affiliation has been identified as the most powerful factor explaining citizens’ political attitudes and voting decisions. However, history provides several examples of Black Democratic candidates who failed to garner votes from White Democrats during biracial elections. Focusing on perceived concern about Black favoritism and political ambivalence, this study investigates why White citizens’ party affiliation loses its influence on candida…
Deliberative and Participatory Democracy? Ideological Strength and the Processes Leading from Deliberation to Political Engagement
We draw on a nationally representative sample of American adults who reported having participated in face-to-face deliberation (N = 756). We use structural equation modeling to first ask whether perceived political diversity differently influences follow-up engagement in various civic or political activities among strong, weak, and moderate ideologues. We also examine the processes—cognitive and affective—that lead from perceived diversity to fol…
To Buy or Not to Buy
Political consumerism has recently generated academic interest among political participation researchers. While some scholars underscore political consumerism as an emerging civic and political engagement, others discredit its democratic potentials. Drawing on two national survey samples in 2002 that measured both boycotting and ‘buycotting’, this study examines political consumers' demographic backgrounds, socio-political attitudes, issue orient…

An integrative model of ambivalence
Ambivalence is a widely experienced psychological state, but inter-disciplinary studies, to a certain extent, define and conceptualize ambivalence independently. In spite of its lack of clarity, ambivalence has become an increasingly popular concept, utilized in hypotheses concerning a variety of social phenomena. This study provides an overview of extant studies on ambivalence, and summarizes the similarities and differences in how practitioners…

What Is Really Going On
Does deliberative setting, online versus face-to-face, influence citizens' experiences? Are certain factors differently influential in one setting than in the other? We draw on a nationally representative survey and identify citizens who participated in both online and face-to-face settings (n = 82). We use structural equation modeling to first assess the effects that deliberation format has on the interrelationship between such crucial factors a…
