“Facebocrastination”? Predictors of using Facebook for procrastination and its effects on students’ well-being

2016

Procrastinating with popular online media such as Facebook has been suggested to impair users well-being, particularly among students. Building on recent procrastination, self-control, and communication literature, we conducted two studies (total N=699) that examined the predictors of procrastination with Facebook as well as its effects on students academic and overall well-being. Results from both studies consistently indicate that low trait self-control, habitual Facebook checking, and high enjoyment of Facebook use predict almost 40 percent of the variance of using Facebook for procrastination. Moreover, results from Study 2 underline that using Facebook for the irrational delay of impor…

Living with Television: The Violence Profile

2015

Das Schlusselwerk „Living with television: The violence profile“ legt den Grundstein fur die Kultivierungsforschung und stellt die Idee der Kultivierungsforschung von Gerbner und Kollegen umfassend dar. Die Autoren gehen davon aus, dass sich das Fernsehen auf die Wahrnehmung sozialer Realitat seiner Zuschauer auswirkt. Es beeinflusst aufgrund seiner realitatsnahen Darstellung und weiten Verbreitung Vorstellungen (Kultivierung 1. Ordnung) und Einstellungen (Kultivierung 2. Ordnung): Vielseher nehmen die Welt eher so wahr, wie sie im Fernsehen dargestellt wird, Wenigseher hingegen haben ein Weltbild, das naher an der tatsachlichen Realitat ist. Gerbners soziologisch gepragte Befurchtung war, …

The European media discourse on immigration and its effects: a literature review

2018

To understand public opinion about immigration in Europe, one has to understand the media’s role in it. We present a literature review on research on media discourse on immigration and their effects. Despite differences in the way immigration and migrant groups are represented in European media, we can observe common patterns. Migrants are generally under-represented and shown as delinquents or criminals. Although, media framing differs based on specific migrant groups the discourse is focusing on, immigration coverage is often negative and conflict-centred. Frequent exposure to such media messages leads to negative attitudes towards migration, may activate stereotypical cognitions of migra…

Does News Frame Affect Free Movement Attitudes? A Comparative Analysis

2021

The policy of free movement—one of the core principles of the European Union—has become increasingly politicized. This makes it more important to understand how attitudes toward free movement are shaped, and the role of the media. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate how news frames affect attitudes toward free movement, and whether education moderates framing effects. The findings from a survey experiment conducted in seven European countries show that the effects are few and inconsistent across countries. This suggest that these attitudes are not easily shifted by exposure to a single news frame.
