講座介紹 About the Lecture:

People’s views of political activity on social media range from exuberant to exasperated. But do perceptions of social media influence citizens’ online and offline political behaviors? In the present study, we test a theoretical model that systematically incorporates core narratives in the Slacktivism thesis, in which perceiving social media as an easy or impactful means of engaging in politics encourages individuals to express themselves on social media, but discourages their offline participation. Results from a series of analyses of a panel data set from the 2016 US presidential campaign show that positive perceptions of social media indirectly increase offline political participation, through the influence of political expression on social media. This mediated path is stronger for older individuals and for those with predominantly politically like-minded networks. The implications for reconceptualizing the relationship between perceptions of social media and political participation are discussed.
