“…Nerijetko se kao glavni faktor apatije i pasivnosti navodi medijski okoliš, apostrofirajući pritom televiziju kao jedan od vodećih uzroka smanjene razine društvenog i političkog angažmana (Putnam, 2000), iako postoje istraživanja (Hoffman i Thomson, 2009) koja povezuju specifične televizijske sadrža-je s većim participacijskim aktivnostima mladih. Gledajući iz perspektive teoretičara novih medija, pasivna konzumacija televizijskoga sadržaja, iz koje proizlazi pasivnost publike, smatrala se očekivanom posljedicom komunikacijskoga procesa zbog manjka interaktivnih mogućnosti analogno-masovnih medija.…”

Temeljni cilj ovoga rada jest analiza veze između upotrebe internetskih društvenih mreža (na primjeru Facebooka) i participacijskih dimenzija društvenoga kapitala kod mladih u Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju se rabe operacionalizirane participativne dimenzije društvenoga kapitala prema radovima Roberta D. Putnama te teorije o internetskim društvenim mrežama kao potencijalnim agensima društvenoga kapitala. Istraživanje je provedeno online anketom 2012. godine na prigodnom uzorku mladih u Hrvatskoj (N = 577). Rezultati upućuju na konzistentnu pozitivnu povezanost upotrebe internetskih društvenih mreža i broja članstava u udrugama civilnoga društva, odnosno aktivističkih praksi. Pozitivna korelacija s aktivizmom ostaje zamjetna i nakon uključenja uobičajenih korelata, poput članstva u udruzi ili uopćenoga povjerenja. Religioznost ima pozitivnu korelaciju na članstvo u udrugama civilnoga društva, ali negativnu na aktivističke prakse. Zaključuje se kako internetske društvene mreže zbog svojih tehnološko-komunikacijskih karakteristika služe kao relevantan agens participacijskih praksi mladih, uz potrebu proširenih istraživanja s probabilističkim uzorkom.Ključne riječi: digitalno-interaktivni mediji, internetske društvene mreže, društveni kapital, građanski aktivizam, mladi Krešimir Krolo, Odjel za sociologiju, Sveučilište u Zadru,

“…For example, Leshner & McKean (1997) showed that watching political news on television improves voters' knowledge of candidates, and Hoffman & Thomson (2009) found that watching local news and late night news programs on television has a significant effect on the civic participation of high school students.…”

Recent years have seen an increase in political participation among young people worldwide. In light of this heightened political consciousness among youth, the process by which the young might develop political attitudes and become engaged with politics makes a worthy and important research subject. This study thus focuses on whether political socialization by family and peers can affect the online and offline political participation of Singapore youth, also taking into consideration recent changes in the local political environment. The other aspect the study wished to explore whether offline and online news exposure might have a correlation with youth political participation. AC Nielsen Research Pte Ltd. was commissioned to conduct the post-election national telephone survey. Data analysis supported that political socialization by the two sources of family and peers was significantly correlated with young people's political participation in both offline and online forms. In addition, the results indicate that newspaper reading was associated with youth's online political participation but not with their offline political participation. And online news exposure was found to significantly correlate with youth's online political participation. One other result worth mentioning is the positive correlation between mother's education and respondent's offline political participation.

“…From these findings, it can be concluded that, in contrast to many previous studies, entertainment news does have some effects on users' levels of social trust and participation. Indeed, some recent studies (e.g., Baum & Jones, 2012;Hoffman & Thomson, 2009;Tsfati et al, 2009) have supported such an argument by showing that hybrid entertainment programs increase individuals' levels of trust in society and their political participation.…”

“…Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman) might be positively related to political participation (e.g., Hoffman & Thomson, 2009;Tsfati et al, 2009), or at least not negatively associated with political participation (e.g., Cao & Brewer, 2008). If this is indeed the case, it means that watching entertainment television does not necessarily lead to the mass apathy that inheres in a lack of civic engagement.…”

Go, E. (2015). Participatory or deliberative democracy? Exploring the mediation effects of perceived online deliberation and online interactive activities on social outcomes. Telematics and Informatics, 32 (2),[205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214] Participatory or deliberative democracy? Exploring the mediation effects of perceived online deliberation and online interactive activities on social outcomes AbstractUsing the structural equation modeling method (N = 811), this study explores the structural relationships among online news consumption, political participation and social trust, with a focus on the mediating effects of online users' deliberative perceptions and news-related online interactive activities. The analysis confirms that users' perceptions of online deliberation exert a significant mediating effect on users' levels of news consumption, political participation, and social trust. Users' interactive civic messaging behaviors, on the other hand, solely enhance participatory intentions. The findings also show that the consumption of political news and the consumption of entertainment news have different effects on users' perceptions of online deliberation, social trust, and political participation. Specifically, while political news has a direct and relatively strong influence on participation, entertainment news has a limited and indirect effect on participation. Online interactive activities are negatively associated with users' perceived competency for online deliberation. Further implications of the study are also discussed.
