ABSTRACTAspects of our political world brought to the forefront in recent years include the impact of declining media trust and a surge of populist politicians around the globe. Highlighting those aspects, this study utilizes representative data from the American National Election Studies (ANES) collected during the 2020 US Presidential Election. We examine the relationship between use of different media (mainstream liberal, mainstream conservative, and hyper-conservative) and media trust as well as the moderating role of populist beliefs. Results found that hyper-conservative media use and anti-elitist populist beliefs are negatively associated with media trust while liberal media use is positively associated with media trust; mainstream conservative media use is unrelated to media trust when controlling for other media types and populist beliefs. This lack of a main effect for conservative media is clarified by examining the interaction with anti-elitist populism, which shows increased use of conservative media for individuals with low levels of populist beliefs is associated with increased media trust while the opposite is true for those high in populist beliefs.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

摘要近年来,媒体信任度的下降和全球民粹主义政治家的激增,成为我们政治世界的热点问题。为了突出这些方面,本研究利用了2020年美国总统大选期间收集的美国国家选举研究(ANES)的代表性数据。我们研究了不同媒体(主流自由主义、主流保守主义和超保守主义)的使用与媒体信任之间的关系,以及民粹主义信仰的调节作用。结果发现,极端保守的媒体使用和反精英的民粹主义信仰与媒体信任呈负相关,而自由的媒体使用与媒体信任呈正相关;在控制其他媒体类型和民粹主义信仰时,主流保守媒体的使用与媒体信任无关。通过检查与反精英民粹主义的相互作用,可以澄清这种对保守媒体缺乏主要影响的情况,这表明,民粹主义信仰水平低的个人增加使用保守媒体与增加媒体信任有关,而民粹主义信仰水平高的人则相反。免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务,我们提供了这个版本的已接受的手稿(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前,将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前,可能会发现可能影响内容的错误,所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。声明作者无利益冲突需要披露。图1所示。民粹主义与媒介使用的互动关系预测媒介信任。显示全尺寸。对于民粹主义,使用高于平均值和低于平均值的一个标准差,对于所有媒体变量,使用高于平均值和零的一个标准差来可视化低值和高值。注1:正如Ad Fontes (Citation2023)所指出的那样,肖恩·汉尼提的广播节目被列入超级党派之列,它比汉尼提的电视节目更基于观点虽然alpha值略低于传统的临界值0.7,但我们选择保留这三个项目,以确保我们的量表具有更广泛的概念有效性。我们还重新运行了所有的结果,只使用两个问题,已在先前的学术验证,和显著性模式是相同的我们还运行了使用更广泛的媒体控制的模型,包括娱乐节目、社交媒体使用等。结果的模式与这里展示的相同,可以在在线补充中看到。smyiah J.

Social networking sites offer politicians an opportunity to mobilize followers through carefully crafted messages appealing to their emotions. We examine the effects of uncivil and post-truth communication of populist and non-populist party leaders on the emotional emoji reactions of social media users during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Conveying a disrespectful tone toward the participants and topics of the debate, lying accusations, and incivility have become prominent aspects of contemporary political discourse in many European countries. We combine research on emotional cues in online political communication and the effects of political elites’ messages on social media. We apply manual content analysis (N = 2,549 posts) to study the political communication of Czech political party leaders on Facebook during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 to February 2021), which generated a higher sense of threat and uncertainty in the public. We show that uncivil and post-truth message elements, affiliation with a populist party, and pandemic influenced the volume of emotional interactions with political posts. The article has important implications for the study of how incivility and attacks on truthfulness can influence opinion exchange in public debate or increase societal polarization.

ABSTRACTLittle to no knowledge exists about television’s role in the sexual socialization of adolescents from the perspective of remembrance and resonance of narratives dealing with sexuality. The current study aims to fill this gap in the literature by using three-wave data of 703 respondents (51.5% assigned female at birth, M age = 15.44; SD = 1.43). We explored reciprocal relations between adolescents’ remembrance of resonating positive and negative messages included in sexual narratives on television and their positive sexuality components (e.g. sexual self-acceptance). Structural equation modeling showed that a respectful approach to different sexual expressions was related to the remembering of negative sexual television messages five months later. No other significant relations were found. Further, no differences were found based on adolescents’ sexual experiences. The findings are discussed in the realm of the potential of using the biographic resonance theory (BRT) of eudaimonic entertainment media to further explore the socializing potential of sexual television narratives.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

ABSTRACTUnderstanding audiences’ information-seeking behaviors during a societal crisis it vital for effective crisis communication. Prior research has identified how individuals combine information sources during a specific crisis phase. However, there is a lack of studies analyzing the stability of such behavior across phases. Therefore, this study utilizes a four-wave panel study conducted in Sweden (N = 13,718) to examine information-seeking repertoires and potential drivers across phases with different threat severity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results from a cross-sectional latent class analysis revealed four main types of information-seeking repertoires: pluralists, traditionalists, minimalists, and news junkies. Specifically, the findings show that individuals with different socio-demographic profiles broaden their information-seeking repertoire when threat severity is high, making socio-demographic factors a poor predictor of repertoire breadth. Instead, mainstream media trust seems to play a more important role as a potential predictor of broad information-seeking repertoires including non-mainstream sources. The dynamic nature of the repertoires cautions scholars not to make generalization about information-seekers and their characteristics across different phases of a crisis and underline the importance of future research to focus on factors beyond socio-demographics.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM). Copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proofs will be undertaken on this manuscript before final publication of the Version of Record (VoR).

摘要了解受众在社会危机中的信息寻求行为,对于危机的有效传播至关重要。先前的研究已经确定了个人在特定危机阶段如何组合信息来源。然而,缺乏分析这种行为跨阶段稳定性的研究。因此,本研究利用在瑞典进行的四波面板研究(N = 13,718)来检查COVID-19大流行期间不同威胁严重程度阶段的信息寻求库和潜在驱动因素。横断面潜在类别分析的结果揭示了四种主要类型的信息寻求技能:多元主义者、传统主义者、极简主义者和新闻迷。具体来说,研究结果表明,当威胁严重程度较高时,不同社会人口特征的个体会扩大他们的信息寻求能力,这使得社会人口因素不能很好地预测能力广度。相反,主流媒体信任似乎扮演着更重要的角色,作为包括非主流来源在内的广泛信息寻求库的潜在预测因子。这些曲目的动态性提醒学者们不要对危机不同阶段的信息寻求者及其特征进行概括,并强调未来研究关注社会人口统计学以外因素的重要性。免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务,我们提供了这个版本的已接受的手稿(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前,将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前,可能会发现可能影响内容的错误,所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。数据可用性声明由于隐私/道德限制,应通信作者的要求提供数据。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1瑞典伦理审查局于2020年1月15日给予专家组调查伦理批准(Dnr 2019 -04,339)。每个被调查者在回答调查之前都提供了参与的书面同意因此,潜在驱动因素的结果反映了预测概率,并没有显著的回归输出较低的熵值也可能与自由度和类解的最大数目有关。换句话说,如果我们能够用更多的类来测试解决方案,熵值可能会更高。然而,对于熵没有一致的截止标准,具有低值的模型在理论上可能仍然有用(关于这方面的讨论见Muthen, 2008;3 .韦勒等人,Citation2020)以社会为导向的传统主义者在第四波中才被模型捕获。因此,这个类是否有稳定的驱动程序是未知的。因此,该曲目被排除在本节之外。本研究是多公共社会中的危机沟通和公众信任(KRISAMS)研究项目的一部分,由瑞典民事应急机构资助,资助号为#2017-2860。作者简介:sofia Johansson,瑞典哥德堡大学新闻、媒体和传播系博士研究生。她拥有隆德大学战略传播学硕士学位和发展研究学士学位。她的研究主要集中在危机沟通从公民的感知。更具体地说,她感兴趣的是个体在危机期间如何组合信息源,不同信息源实现的功能,以及个体如何构建信息寻求库的潜在动机和驱动因素。bengt Johansson,瑞典哥德堡大学新闻、媒体与传播系教授。1998年获博士学位,论文为《新闻在我们中间:城市新闻、个人经历与地方舆论形成》。2006年成为副教授,2010年成为正教授。2000年至2002年,他担任研究生院主任;2008年至2011年,他担任JMG系主任。他的研究涉及风险和危机沟通、媒体对社会信仰的长期影响、政治广告、政治丑闻和媒体对选举的报道。johannes Johansson,瑞典哥德堡大学新闻、媒体和传播系媒体效应研究项目博士研究生。他拥有哥德堡大学(University of Gothenburg)和康斯坦茨大学(University of Konstanz)欧洲研究、政治和公共管理硕士学位,以及哥德堡大学(University of Gothenburg)欧洲研究学士学位。 他的研究兴趣是媒体效应和公众舆论,通过媒体影响个人对社会的看法,他主要使用计算方法来解决。ORCID: 0000-0001-8000-3225

ABSTRACT Intra- and inter-group dynamics involving local identity have rarely been examined in media contexts. Drawing on Media System Dependency and Social Identity Perspectives, we examine the information power of localized social media (LSM) during post-earthquake disaster. The quake-affected city, Pohang in South Korea, is relatively small-sized and geographically peripheral compared to the Seoul metropolitan area. We conducted an online survey with 530 female members of Pohang Mom Noriteo, the largest Pohang-based LSM platform, which represents a high-entitativity online group. Results indicate that uncertain local identity resulting from the earthquake predicted the strengthened relation with the LSM. Notably, strong local identifiers with heightened risk perception reported a substantially reduced negative perception of Seoul-based mainstream media coverage of the earthquakes. We discuss these findings in light of the unique group status of the city, which was jeopardized by the disaster, and the essential role of mainstream media during post-disaster periods.

Drawing on Media System Dependency and Social Identity Perspectives, we examine the information power of localized social media (LSM) during post-earthquake disaster. The quake-affected city, Pohang in South Korea, is relatively small-sized and geographically peripheral compared to the Seoul metropolitan area. We conducted an online survey with 530 female members of Pohang Mom Noriteo, the largest Pohang-based LSM platform, which represents a high-entitativity online group. Results indicate that uncertain local identity resulting from the earthquake predicted the strengthened relation with the LSM. Notably, strong local identifiers with heightened risk perception reported a substantially reduced negative perception of Seoul-based mainstream media coverage of the earthquakes. We discuss these findings in light of the unique group status of the city, which was jeopardized by the disaster, and the essential role of mainstream media during post-disaster periods.","PeriodicalId":47869,"journal":{"name":"Mass Communication and Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"801 - 826"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89094777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
