“…The study also controls for the effect of people's political efficacy on participatory behaviors as this construct has also been observed as a proxy to political participation (i.e., Pingree, Hill, & McLeod, ). Researchers suggest that some items used to measure internal efficacy, such as “people like me don't have any say about what the government does,” may be problematic because they could be measuring both internal and external efficacy at the same time (see Morrell, ).…”

This article relies on U.S. 2‐wave panel data to examine the role of social media as a sphere for political expression and its effects on political participation. Informational uses of social media are expected to explain political expression on social media and to promote political participation. This study clarifies the effect of using social media for social interaction in fostering political expression and participation processes. Results indicate that social media news use has direct effects on offline political participation and indirect effects on offline and online political participation mediated via political expression. Furthermore, social media use for social interaction does not have direct influence in people's political engagement, but rather an indirect effect by means of citizens expressing themselves politically.

“…Indeed, both experimental and observational studies have demonstrated that negative media content increases cynicism. Specifically, much of the recent literature asserts that cynicism is most common when at UNIV OF VIRGINIA on June 21, 2016 jmq.sagepub.com Downloaded from information is not framed around issues (de Vreese & Elenbaas, 2008;Pingree, Hill, & McLeod, 2013). In essence, these game-framed/publicity-framed news stories feed into negative reactions to politics more generally, which result in political disengagement.…”

Scholars have emphasized the importance of an informed citizenry for a healthy democracy. As a result, research has examined whether campaign information fosters positive or negative democratic outcomes. This article examines the relationship between information seeking and skepticism. We also examine whether skepticism leads to democratically beneficial outcomes. We examine these relationships using survey data collected during the course of the 2012 Presidential Election. We found an over-time relationship between campaign information seeking and skepticism. We also found that skepticism leads to increased knowledge at the end of the election through information seeking.In an ideal world, a vigorous, well-functioning democracy is based on the involvement of knowledgeable, engaged citizens. News media and campaign information play a critical role in informing citizens about the decisions and actions of political leaders and the positive or negative outcomes of those decisions and actions. As a result,

“…This construct has been shown to have a strong relationship to political participation (Pingree, Hill and McLeod, 2012). Due to validity problems found with some of the traditional scales used to measure internal efficacy (Morrell, 2003), this study follows the operationalization of the concept suggested by Bennet (1997), using only one item: "I think people like me can influence government."…”

ResumenLa discusión política es un elemento central para el bienestar democrático de las sociedades actuales. Estudios recientes han explorado algunos de los atributos de las redes de discusión política de los individuos, como la fuerza de los vínculos en estas redes (débiles-fuertes), su grado de heterogeneidad, la exposición al desacuerdo o el grado de razonamiento empleado en ellas. Sin embargo, el papel de estos atributos de las redes de discusión como antecedentes de la elaboración cognitiva -la refl exión y el pensamiento posterior sobre aquello de lo que se ha discutido-no ha sido abordado con detalle. A partir de datos procedentes de una encuesta realizada en Estados Unidos, el presente estudio muestra que la discusión sobre asuntos de interés público con «vínculos fuertes» o con «vínculos débiles» tiene efectos diferentes sobre los diversos atributos de las redes de discusión, así como sobre la elaboración cognitiva posterior. Key words AbstractPolitical discussion is a core element for the democratic wellbeing of any society. Recently, academics have turned their attention to exploring the different roles discussion-network-attributes may have in today's democracy, such as strength of discussion network ties (weak-strong), heterogeneity of discussion networks, exposure to disagreement, and level of reasoning in discussions. Less explored, however, is the connection of these discussion attributes as antecedents to cognitive elaboration -the extent to which individuals who engage in political discussions fi nd themselves thinking and refl ecting upon those discussions at a later time. Survey data from the United States indicates discussing public affairs in networks with strong-ties versus weak-ties has different implications in predicting other discussion attributes and cognitive elaboration. Gil de Zúñiga, Homero (2017). «Los atributos de la discusión política interpersonal como antecedentes de la elaboración cognitiva». Revista Española de Investigaciones Sociológicas, Cómo citar 66Los atributos de la discusión política interpersonal como antecedentes de la elaboración cognitiva INTRODUCCIÓN Las repercusiones de la discusión política (en su acepción de examinar atenta y particularmente una materia política con una o varias personas) en el proceso democrático han sido exploradas con gran detalle en investigaciones sobre comunicación política (por ejemplo, Holbert et al., 2010;Kavanaugh et al., 2005; McLeod et al., 2001). Gran parte de los estudios sobre esta cuestión han resaltado el importante papel que desempeña la discusión política en el bienestar democráti-co de las sociedades, al contribuir a la formación de un sistema más deliberativo (Fischer, 2003;Gastil, 2008). Recientemente, la investigación en ciencias políticas y de la comunicación ha comenzado a dirigir su atención hacia los efectos que los diferentes atributos de las redes de discusión política de los ciudadanos (en adelante, atributos de las redes de discusión o atributos de las redes) pueden tener sobre la frecuencia de la discusión ...
