Exclusionist positions on immigration have become a key component of right-wing ideology in most countries around the world. Combining group threat and news values theory, this study sheds light on the emergence of right-wing discourses on immigration based on one of Germany’s most influential right-wing print outlets. I employ supervised and unsupervised machine-learning methods on almost 54,000 articles published between 1998 and 2019 to test whether real-world conditions shape immigration news. Results show that reporting on immigration generally increased over time and peaked during the refugee inflow in 2015/16. Immigration numbers, foreigner crime rates, and Jihadist terror attacks predict the salience of the immigration issue in the overall news as well as discursive shifts within immigration news. During times of high immigration, articles were more likely to address topics related to deportation and closing borders or the criminalization of immigration. Terrorism was more present in immigration news after attacks, especially after attacks in Germany. Foreigner crime did not significantly increase reporting on crime in immigration news. In short, right-wing immigration discourses seem responsive to real-world developments and events that enable exclusionary rhetoric and a threatening portrayal of immigrants.

ABSTRACT While media representations of female athletes in lean sports often lead to negative body image perceptions in female audiences, media images depicting athletes playing sports may generate positive responses with respect to body image. Derived from the two lines of scholarship in sports media effects, this between-subjects, online experiment tests the effects of viewing images of female athletes playing lean sports (gymnastics, diving, artistic swimming, figure skating, and cheerleading). Results showed that female viewers (N = 625) engaged in greater appearance social comparison after viewing the images of female athletes playing lean sports (versus the control images), which in turn, was positively associated with their body satisfaction. Different levels of thinness and muscularity of female athletes in the media images did not significantly affect female viewers’ appearance social comparison or body satisfaction. Notably, post hoc analyses revealed several different findings across three age groups of women audiences (young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults). Overall, this study sheds light on the positive impact of appearance social comparison after viewing lean sports. Furthermore, the findings indicate the importance of focusing on athlete performance in media practice in relation to lean sports.

Parasocial relationships can improve the effectiveness of persuasive messages such as advertising. However, little is known about the role of parasocial relationships in the processing of fear appeals—a communication strategy that, despite its popularity, often evokes unwanted responses such as reactance. Perceived self-efficacy is one key variable that determines whether a fear appeal improves attitudes/behavior or has unwanted boomerang effects. In a two-level between-subjects experiment (N = 91), we show that a COVID-19-related fear appeal promoting anti-coronavirus measures from a familiar communicator (compared to an unfamiliar communicator) evokes more perceived self-efficacy explained by media users' parasocial relationship with the familiar communicator. A second two-level between-subjects experiment (N = 239) replicates these findings and shows that perceived self-efficacy inhibits reactance responses (message derogation and perceived threat to freedom) and fosters positive attitudes and behavioral intentions toward anti-coronavirus measures.

准社会关系可以提高广告等说服性信息的有效性。然而，人们对副社会关系在处理恐惧诉求中的作用知之甚少——尽管这种沟通策略很受欢迎，但它经常引起人们不想要的反应，比如抗拒。感知自我效能感是决定恐惧诉求是改善态度/行为还是产生不必要的自食其果的一个关键变量。在两级被试实验(N = 91)中，我们发现，与不熟悉的传播者相比，来自熟悉的传播者的与covid -19相关的恐惧呼吁促进了抗冠状病毒措施，唤起了更多的感知自我效能感，这可以通过媒体用户与熟悉的传播者的副社会关系来解释。第二项双水平受试者间实验(N = 239)重复了这些发现，并表明感知自我效能抑制了抗拒反应(信息贬损和感知到的对自由的威胁)，并培养了对抗冠状病毒措施的积极态度和行为意图。【来自作者】《大众传播与社会》的版权是Taylor & Francis Ltd的财产，未经版权所有者的明确书面许可，其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)
