“…Empirical studies have provided evidence that increased party contact may influence citizens’ vote choices (e.g., Fisher et al, 2015; Górecki & Marsh, 2012, 2014; Johnston & Pattie, 2003; Lefebvre, 2014). The underlying mechanism triggering this effect is believed to be similar to the priming argument regarding media coverage: More frequent exposure to information provided by a particular party should increase the popularity of this party among the public by increasing the accessibility of its political platforms (see Chong & Druckman, 2007). …”

“…Interpersonal contact may also reduce prejudice (Christ et al, 2014) against parties that citizens had not initially considered as a viable option. Furthermore, interpersonal contact is more likely to motivate citizens to process and consciously evaluate information, i.e., systematic processing (Chong & Druckman, 2007; Katz, 1957). …”

An increasing number of citizens change and adapt their party preferences during the electoral campaign. We analyze which short-term factors explain intra-campaign changes in voting preferences, focusing on the visibility and tone of news media reporting and party canvassing. Our analyses rely on an integrative data approach, linking data from media content analysis to public opinion data. This enables us to investigate the relative impact of news media reporting as well as party communication. Inherently, we overcome previously identified methodological problems in the study of communication effects on voting behavior. Our findings reveal that campaigns matter: Especially interpersonal party canvassing increases voters’ likelihood to change their voting preferences in favor of the respective party, whereas media effects are limited to quality news outlets and depend on individual voters’ party ambivalence.

“…Mais raros são estudos sobre enquadramentos concorrentes (competing frames) (CHONG; DRUCKMAN, 2007;SNIDERMAN ;THERIAULT, 2004). Nossa investigação busca captar uma imagem da atividade social da argumentação em um contexto de razões concorrentes.…”

“…Esta proposta se distingue de estudos sobre enquadramento de duas maneiras. Nesses estudos as pessoas são expostas a interpretações diferentes sobre uma dada questão e, tipicamente, reportam suas opiniões individuais (CHONG; DRUCKMAN, 2007;SNIDERMAN;THERIAULT, 2004). Em nosso estudo, os participantes foram expostos a diversos argumentos a favor e contra o tema em tela, como recursos conversacionais (GAMSON, 1992).…”

“…Assumimos que os participantes expressariam entendimentos e sentimentos aos demais, cujas demandas ficariam sujeitas ao reforço, ao confronto, ou à alteração dentro do grupo. Segundo, distintamente de estudos que buscam aferir a "saliência" de enquadramentos na opinião pública e que, para tanto, as pessoas enumeram a persuasão de uma mensagem ou de um enquadramento (CHONG; DRUCKMAN, 2007;SNIDERMAN;THERIAULT, 2004), esta pesquisa utiliza métodos mistos para apreender o fenômeno. Primeiro, analisamos questionários aplicados no início e ao fim da discussão e, segundo, utilizamos a metodologia de análise de conteúdo para avaliar a prática concreta de debate antes e depois da exposição dos participantes aos argumentos dos media.…”

Este é um artigo publicado em acesso aberto (Open Access) Resumo: A discussão informal tem despertado crescente interesse em estudos sobre deliberação.Contudo, são raros os estudos que examinam o engajamento das pessoas em contextos conflitantes. Este artigo investiga o modo pelo qual sujeitos de grupos sociais em conflito fazem uso de razões concorrentes que circulam nos media para negociar suas opiniões sobre uma "questão sensível": a redução da maioridade penal. Para tanto, foram realizados cinco grupos de discussão em Belém (PA) e Belo Horizonte (MG), com policiais militares e moradores e adolescentes de periferia. A partir da adaptação do Discourse Quality Index, este estudo analisa: as justificativas expressas pelos participantes; o respeito entre os grupos; o papel das histórias pessoais na discussão. Investiga-se, ainda, o fluxo de argumentos antes e após a apresentação do material dos media. Os resultados contribuem para compreender a dinâmica através da qual os sujeitos se situam num "espaço de razões" em debates plurais.Palavras-Chave: deliberação; conflito social; conversação informal; maioridade penal.Abstract: Conversation and deliberation across sensitive issues: a study on the use of media arguments on interpersonal debates -Informal debates have attracted increasing attention in deliberation studies. However, studies that explore how people make sense of plural information in the media are rare. This paper analyses how subjects from antagonizing social groups engage with a variety of media arguments to negotiate their opinions on a sensitive issue: the reduction of the criminal responsibility age in Brazil. We conducted five discussion groups in Belem (PA) and Belo Horizonte (MG) with members of the local police and with teenagers and

Tweeting for a cause: Microblogging and environmental advocacy

This article examines how environmental organizations utilized the microblogging website Twitter to engage in political advocacy during the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Using a content analysis of tweets, blogs, email, and press releases, it is demonstrated that environmental groups responded more quickly to the disaster and offered more sustained attention to the spill on Twitter compared to the other media. It is also shown that groups framed the disaster differently on Twitter than in other media, emphasizing different targets of blame. While the findings indicate strong potential for Twitter as a tool for mobilization and conflict expansion, this study also suggests that interest groups have relinquished some control over the framing of focusing events on Twitter by reproducing content created by other users.
