“…Previous studies in the U.S. and Germany showed that 12% of Americans and 10% of Germans "never" experienced flow, whereas 16% of Americans experienced flow daily and 23% of Germans reported to have such experiences often (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997;Nakamura & M. Csikszentmihalyi and K. Asakawa 10 Csikszentmihalyi, 2002). The U.S. data were based on Gallup Poll 1998, which targeted adults in the U.S. (Gallup Poll, 1998) and the German data were based on a survey by Noelle-Neumann (1995), which targeted Germans aged 14 years and over. Moreover, these studies used different ways of measuring frequencies of flow.…”

In the past 40 years, the phenomenon of flow-the full involvement with what one is doing, which is experienced as enjoyable and uplifting-has been found to be recognized in every culture where it has been studied. On the other hand, research has also shown that in different cultures, the experience itself might be different. In this paper we try to describe first what the flow experience consists of, what its evolutionary significance might be, and then focus on a peculiarly Japanese way in which flow seems to be experienced-the culturally specific concern for living up to the expectations of the culture-or Jujitsu-kan. We argue that this concern for an external standard, which in Western cultures would interrupt the flow experience, in the context of Japanese culture might play a significant role in enhancing it.

“…In a self-assessment, the surveyed influencers see themselves as politically interested and curious in their search for topics, and they perceive themselves as communicative, optimistic, and assertive—which corresponds to what is known from research on opinion leaders (e.g., Noelle-Neumann, 1983).…”

This study provides insights into the role of political social media influencers (PSMI) as relatively new actors in political communication. It examines their content and motives in the context of elections. Considering the German federal election in 2021, it uses content analysis of 20 PSMI offers with 301 pieces of content and a supplemental online survey to explore how PSMI communicated on various platforms/formats (Instagram posts/videos, podcast episodes, TikTok, YouTube) in the 2 months before the election. The findings show that the PSMI in this sample, who were all nominated for an award, provided (basic) political knowledge for a broad target audience without significant prior knowledge. In line with this, the findings further reveal that while the content of the PSMI overall was characterized by a high density of information, their density of opinion or self-presentation was comparatively low, with platform affordances influencing these characteristics. This corresponds to the motives stated by the PSMI in the supplemental online survey. While the findings for the PSMI in our sample are to some extent in line with role conceptions of journalists in Germany—the sample spans from professional journalists to influencers without any connection to journalism—they diverge in other respects from routines of the profession. The findings of our country-specific contribution allow for a more systemic understanding of PSMI, especially in the context of elections, by highlighting that they can add to information sources available by offering (basic) political education, especially for a young target audience on social media.

“…Prior work on communication has also suggested that a sense of efficacy and outcome expectancy are positive predictors of communicative behaviors. Belief in one’s ability to successfully persuade others has been considered a defining trait of opinion leaders (Noelle-Neumann, 1983), suggesting that individuals with a high level of efficacy in sharing their opinion would enjoy and be committed to sharing news information with their social network. Recent work indicates that online sharing outcome expectancy—that is, positive attitudes about what one can achieve from online sharing— can positively influence knowledge-sharing in the virtual environment (Lin et al, 2019), and that perceived communication competence was positively linked with online political expression (Velasquez and Rojas, 2017).…”

Permanent connectedness and its impact on news sharing

The ubiquitous use of Internet-connected media enables individuals to stay in constant touch with personal contacts in an “always-on” society. Consequently, some individuals have developed the habit of being permanently connected with others through digital media. This article examines the psychological and political consequences of permanent connectedness. Analysis of two independent sets of data collected via a two-wave panel survey and an online experiment reveals that, over time, permanent connection—the behavior of constantly engaging in mediated communication—increased the perception of permanent togetherness with others, which I label as permanently connected perception. This perception was in turn positively associated with news sharing through the belief that information one shares online can instantly be received and responded to by online contacts as it is shared. Findings emphasize the “spillover” influence of permanent connectedness, in which perpetual mediated communication encourages political behavior, news sharing, and the role of the permanently connected perception in mediating this process.
