Abstract
Being politically and civically engaged is known to benefit society. Using online forums, such as Twitter (the social media platform now known as X), for democratic engagement is now commonplace. However, research is inconclusive on whether offline and online activities similarly result in real-world engagement. Using secondary analysis of Pew data, both types of engagement are compared among Twitter users. Results show Twitter users engaged online, but not offline. However, those who posted about political/social issues democratically engaged both offline and online.
众所周知，参与政治和公民事务有益于社会。使用 Twitter（现在被称为 X 的社交媒体平台）等在线论坛进行民主参与现已司空见惯。然而，关于线下活动和线上活动是否同样会带来现实世界的参与，研究尚无定论。通过对皮尤数据的二次分析，我们对推特用户的两种参与方式进行了比较。结果显示，Twitter 用户在线参与，但离线不参与。不过，那些发布政治/社会问题的用户在线下和线上都进行了民主参与。
