  Do media depictions of a ‘polarized society’ merely describe division or actually deepen it? We report two laboratory experiments in Germany (Study1 $$N=302$$ ; Study2 $$N=295$$ ). After reading authentic newspaper articles in which brief polarization cues were experimentally included versus omitted, participants (i) completed standard affective- and ideological-polarization measures and (ii) played incentivized Dictator, Ultimatum, and Trust Gam…

  TikTok is a pivotal platform for political communication, especially among younger users. This study examines how the German rightwing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) used TikTok to disseminate populist messages and engage users during the 2024 European elections. By analyzing videos posted by AfD politicians in the three months leading up to the elections, we identified the main populist messages and assessed their impact on user en…

  Digital platforms intertwine the offline and online spheres of climate activism, as seen in the anti-coal demonstration in the German village of Lützerath. Through automated network/content analyses and qualitative evaluation, we explore how Twitter/X, Telegram, and Mastodon shape networked coalitions of protest advocates and antagonists during the protests (N = 259,334 German-language posts). On Twitter/X, both advocates and antagonists formed l…

• What Kind of Depolarization Should We Aim For? Making Communication Transformative

  Open Access•Michael Brüggemann, Christel W Van Eck et al.•ARTICLE•Political Communication•2026•Referências: 8

  Polarization may become a threat to democracy, if it starts to block the capacities for collective problem-solving. This is particularly problematic in the current state of multiple social and ecological crises. Calls for depolarization often lack clarity about what kind of depolarization is normatively desirable. Academic texts often lack transparency about the values that underpin recommendations for better communication. Focusing on discursive…

  Advancements in Large Language Models have been showing important research opportunities within the field of communication studies. It offers the capacity to conduct large-scale content classification and annotation with low computational expertise and reduced manual coding efforts, potentially allowing more possibilities for researchers in social sciences to explore understudied topics (Bail, 2023; Chang et al., 2024). Because of its functioning…

• A Practical Guide and Case Study on How to Instruct LLMs for Automated Coding During Content Analysis

  Open Access•Mike Farjam, Helmut Meyer et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science Computer Review•2025•Referências: 3

  Incluir item

  This paper provides a practical example and guide on how to augment or replace human coders with Large Language Models (LLMs) during content analysis. We demonstrate this by replicating and extending an influential study on environmental communication. Our setup, running locally on consumer-grade hardware, makes it feasible for university researchers operating within typical computational and legal constraints. We validate the LLM’s performance b…

  This paper examines how news frames on disruptive climate protests differ from coverage of conventional protests in news outlets with different political leanings. Analyzing 6632 articles from 21 ideologically diverse German news sources between January 2022 and May 2023, we apply Word2Vec for semantic mapping, emotion classifiers, and qualitative evaluations to assess the frames present in the coverage of climate movements, and the anger attache…

  Open Access•Katharina Esau, Helmut Meyer et al.•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 50

  Incluir item

  This study investigates the media framing of climate movements in Australia and Germany. Media frames are powerful tools for shaping public perceptions of social issues. While previous research has focused on activists' framing strategies, this study analyses how climate movements themselves are portrayed by news media outlets. Using a mixed-methods approach - combining qualitative and computational content analysis - it pioneers a dual-language …

  Examining how different forms of climate protest affect social media debates is critical to understanding their role within societal climate policy discourse. This study compares debates surrounding disruptive and non-disruptive movements on Twitter/X, asking to what extent they lead to ideologically and affectively polarized networks. We analyzed debates around two prominent German climate movements-Fridays for Future and Last Generation-using a…

  Open Access•Helmut Meyer, Amelia Katelin Peach et al.•ARTICLE•Media and Communication•2023

  Incluir item

  The threats posed to society by climate change often fail to become priorities for voters and policymakers. Nevertheless, it has been shown that merely paying online attention to climate change can increase the perceived severity of the associated risks and thus encourage climate action. Therefore, we focus on public discourse on Twitter to explore the interplay of “triggers” and discursive features that stimulate attention to climate change. We …

  Lars Guenther, Helmut Meyer et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Communication•2023

  Future scenarios of a changing climate are not only an integral part of climate research, but they are also part of media coverage on climate change. Such reporting affects how people imagine the future to be, as well as their current and intended behaviors. Hence, this article made use of a quantitative, manual content analysis with qualitative and automated approaches for sample construction, to analyze the framing of climate futures in journal…

  “Polarization” is a common diagnosis of the state of contemporary societies. Yet, few studies theorize or systematically analyze how polarization evolves in media content. To guide future empirical studies, we introduce a public sphere perspective on polarization. Discursive Polarization, defined as divergence emerging in public communication, may disrupt the public sphere if left untamed. Its analysis should combine the study of ideological pola…

  The pig has a contradictory image. It is the symbol of luck, thrift, prosperity, or fertility. At the same time, it is identified with negative characteristics such as impurity (in a literal as well as a figurative sense), lechery, falseness, and craving for power. Although the pig is honored as a deity in many cultures, the epithet “swine” has been used as an insult in the Occident, at least since Pindar. Wieland described the pig as the “true a…

  Seit der schrittweisen Etablierung sozialstaatlicher Strukturen fanden in Deutschland eine Reihe gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche und Regimewechsel, schwere Wirtschaftskrisen sowie zwei Weltkriege statt. Dennoch wird das deutsche Wohlfahrtssystem oft in einer grundlegenden Kontinuität zu seinen Ursprüngen unter dem Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck gesehen. Zwar ist das deutsche Wohlfahrtssystem nach wie vor eng mit den sozialpolitischen Reformma\nahmen…
