The Impact of Internet and Social Media Use on Well-Being

2021

The present research examines the longitudinal average impact of frequency of use of Internet and social networking sites (SNS) on subjective well-being of adolescents in Germany. Based on five-wave panel data that cover a period of nine years, we disentangle between-person and within-person effects of media use on depressive symptomatology and life satisfaction as indicators of subjective well-being. Additionally, we control for confounders such as TV use, self-esteem, and satisfaction with friends. We found that frequency of Internet use in general and use of SNS in particular is not substantially related subjective well-being. The explanatory power of general Internet use or SNS use to p…

Wahlkämpfe in Rom — Ein Beitrag zu einer historischen Wahlkampfkommunikationsforschung

2007

Das politische System der romischen Republik unterscheidet sich deutlich von allen demokratischen Systemen der Moderne. Wahlkampfe in Rom waren in vielerlei Hinsicht anders als die in diesem Buch vorgestellten Wahlkampfe in Deutschland. Viele Strukturen und Prinzipien, die heutige Demokratien, auch die deutsche, pragen, waren entweder nicht bekannt, nicht bedacht, nicht vollstandig entwickelt oder nicht gewunscht.1 Auserdem mussten die antiken Politiker vollig ohne massenmediale Politikvermittlung auskommen. Doch weil die Wahlkampfe damals und heute in vielen Punkten so unterschiedlich sind, folgt daraus nicht, dass man aus dem Kontrast, der dem vorliegenden Buch im Folgenden eine weitere, …

Loopholes in the Echo Chambers: How the Echo Chamber Metaphor Oversimplifies the Effects of Information Gateways on Opinion Expression

2021

Social media (SM) are often regarded drivers of personalized echo chambers in which only ideas resonante that individuals already hold, leading to more extreme opinions and intensified opinion expression. However, recent theorizing and evidence has cast doubts on the universal applicability of the echo chamber metaphor, pointing out that communication effects on opinion expression are much more complex than the metaphor suggests. Using the refugee crisis in Germany as a background, the current study challenges four implicit premises of the echo chamber metaphor empirically. The findings show a more complex picture than the metaphor implies: (1) Ignoring other information sources beyond SM m…

Common Core in Danger? Personalized Information and the Fragmentation of the Public Agenda

2021

The diversification of information sources has reignited the controversy on media-induced fragmentation endangering social integration. The media's capability to set the public agenda and create issues as a common core is a pivotal part of the public sphere and contributes fundamentally to society's cohesion. Algorithm-driven sources like social media that personalize content to the preferences of individuals and their social networks are considered agents of fragmentation of the public sphere. Politically extreme individuals relying on them may be particularly vulnerable to losing touch with society's common core. We employ an innovative operationalization of fragmentation on the individu…

The interplay between media-for-monitoring and media-for-searching: How news media trigger searches and edits in Wikipedia

2016

This study investigates how traditional news media and Internet services have become entangled in recipients’ habits of gathering information on current topics. Push media enable citizens to scan the issue environment while pull media enable them to seek out in-depth information if information needs have been elicited. Furthermore, content quality in many pull media may increase when more users generate content, removing flaws and adding information. We expected that TV and newspaper coverage of an issue will lead to increases in (a) searches for and (b) user edits in related articles in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Our findings reliably support the hypotheses, but the extent to whic…

The impact of communicating digital technologies: How information and communication technology journalists conceptualize their influence on the audie…

2012

Information technology is ever-changing. Information and communication technology (ICT) journalists play a significant part in diffusing, explaining and interpreting these new technologies and in forging the societal understanding of future trends, influencing both their audience and the developers they cover. They are important gatekeepers and their coverage is – most likely – decisive for the success or failure of new products. To explore this function of ICT journalism, an online survey of 102 ICT journalists in Germany was conducted, including 32 journalists in managing roles. This study focuses on two research questions: (a) how do ICT journalists perceive their relationship to and the…

Frames – Framing – Framing-Effekte: Theoretische und methodische Grundlegung des Framing-Ansatzes sowie empirische Befunde zur Nachrichtenproduktion

2015

In seiner breit angelegten Aufarbeitung der fruhen Literatur zum Framing-Ansatz stellt Bertram Scheufele viele einflussreiche Studien erstmals in deutscher Sprache in einen groseren Zusammenhang und entwickelt vielversprechende Ansatze fur eine koharente, schematheoretisch ausgerichtete Framing-Theorie. Ein wichtiger Aspekt sind dabei Scheufeles Uberlegungen zu Framing-Effekten, deren kognitive Wirkungsmechanismen er praziser konzeptualisiert als es viele andere Autoren bis dahin getan hatten. Die in der Arbeit enthaltene empirische Studie befasst sich jedoch mit einem anderen Aspekt: Sie untersucht mittels Kombination von qualitativer und quantitativer Inhaltsanalyse die Auswirkungen der M…

Mit Lehman Brothers meldete am 15. September 2008 erstmals ein Finanzinstitut Insolvenz an, das als „too big to fail“ galt. Somit trat die zuvor kaum fur moglich gehaltene Situation ein, dass Glaubiger einer Bank direkt von Zahlungsausfallen betroffen waren, die angesichts ihrer schieren Grose, Vernetzung und Komplexitat als relevant fur die Stabilitat des Finanzsystems insgesamt eingestuft wurde (Lieven 2009, S. 221).

Seek and you shall find? A content analysis on the diversity of five search engines’ results on political queries

2020

Search engines are important political news sources and should thus provide users with diverse political information ��� an important precondition of a well-informed citizenry. The search engines��� algorithmic content selection strongly influences the diversity of the content received by the users ��� particularly since most users highly trust search engines and often click on only the first result. A widespread concern is that users are not informed diversely by search engines, but how far this concern applies has hardly been investigated. Our study is the first to investigate content diversity provided by five search engines on ten current political issues in Germany. The findings show t…
