The Relationship

To understand the relationship between social media and political participation, the book focuses on politically relevant outcomes of citizens’ use of social media rather than on the technical affordances of digital platforms or the sheer frequency with which people use them. Encountering political content one agrees with, being accidentally exposed to political news, and being targeted by electoral mobilization can all lead citizens to participate more in politics. This is especially the case among citizens who are less interested in politics and less attentive to a general election campaign. Differences in the kinds of voters who may be mobilized by social media may also affect electoral competition. Political institutions can also shape the relationships between political experiences on social media and participation.

Use Of Social Media

This study examined the relationships between social media use, strong-tie discussion, and political participation in three Chinese societies, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Our findings showed that strong-tie discussion is positively related to collective action participation across the three societies. More importantly, strong-tie discussion mediates the effect of political use of social media on political participation in mainland China and Taiwan, but not in Hong Kong. Furthermore, we explored the moderation role of political trust, finding that it narrows down the participation gap between those who use social media more and those who use less in Hong Kong and Taiwan, while enlarges the participation gap in mainland China. This study contributes to the theory of deliberative and participatory democracy by examining the role of strong tie in Chinese contexts and suggests that strong-tie discussion may exert a more important effect on political participation in a more collectivistic society.

The Impact

Consensus on the impact of information-oriented use of social media on political participation is lacking. Some argue a positive relationship, in that social media promotes participation through awakening the user’s agency, while others focus on the selection and disenabling effects of low-quality content. Nevertheless, both arguments focus almost exclusively on the objective conditions for participation and largely ignore users’ motivations to participate. Consequently, this article proposes online political efficacy as a mechanism linking the use of social media to political participation. Specifically, we argue that (1) the effect of the information-oriented use of social media on political participation is positively mediated through the user’s online political efficacy and (2) this mediation effect is only significant in the case of online political participation. We test these arguments within the framework of causal mediation analysis proposed by Imai et al. using data collected from the 2015 Taiwan Communication Survey.

Online Political Participation

This study examines the extent to which social media prosumption, an integrated act of consumption and production, is associated with online political participation. Data from an online panel survey of American adults reveal that social media prosumption has a positive relationship with online political participation indirectly through online political information seeking. Social media prosumption is also positively related to online political participation through online political information and online discussion heterogeneity in serial. Implications are discussed for the role of prosumptive use of social media in online political participation.

Subjek penelitian adalah empat siswa kelas lima Sekolah Dasar Supriyadi dan Sekolah Dasar Primadana Semarang beserta orang tua mereka.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keluarga berperan dalam mendidik, mengajarkan pengetahuan, dan mengevaluasi setiap sikap dan perilaku siswa Sekolah Dasar selama ia berada di lingkup keluarga, sekolah, dan masyarakat. Sedangkan media sosial tidak berperan positif dalam pembentukan karakter santun siswa, akan tetapi justru berperan mengganggu dan merusak karakter santunnya. Oleh karena itu, keluarga harus berperan melakukan manajemen penggunaan media sosial untuk anak dalam berbagai fungsinya, seperti manajemen sebagai sarana edukasi, sarana hiburan, dan alat komunikasi untuk mempertahankan karakter santunnya. Kata Kunci: Peran, keluarga, media sosial, karakter santun THE ROLE OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL MEDIA IN BUILDING STUDENT'S POLITE CHARACTER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Abstract: Many cases show the declining character of politeness among students in elementary school due to the lack of family attention to their attitudes and behavior as well as the negative influence caused by social media. The purpose of this study is to categorize the role of family and social media in shaping the polite character of students in elementary schools and refuting or agreeing with habitus theory of Pierre Bordieu. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were four fifth grade students of Supriyadi Elementary School and Primadana Elementary School in Semarang and their parents. Data collection uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses interactive inductive techniques. The results show that the family has a role in educating, teaching knowledge, and evaluating every attitude and behavior of elementary school students as long as he was in the scope of the family, school, and community. Whereas social media does not play a positive role in shaping students' polite character, but instead plays a role in disrupting and damaging their polite characters. Therefore, the family must play a role in managing the use of social media for children in a variety of functions, such as management as a means of education, entertainment, and communication tools to maintain their polite character. Keywords: Role, family, social media, polite character

In the context of the dissemination of fake news and the traditional media outlets’ loss of centrality, the credibility of digital news emerges as a key factor for today’s democracies. The main goal of this paper was to identify the levels of credibility that Spanish citizens assign to political news in the online environment. A national survey (n = 1669) was designed to assess how the news format affected credibility and likelihood of sharing. Four different news formats were assessed, two of them linked to traditional media (digital newspapers and digital television) and two to social media (Facebook and WhatsApp). Four experimental groups assigned a credibility score and a likelihood of sharing score to four different political news items presented in the aforementioned digital formats. The comparison between the mean credibility scores assigned to the same news item presented in different formats showed significant differences among groups, as did the likelihood of sharing the news. News items shown in a traditional media format, especially digital television, were assigned more credibility than news presented in a social media format, and participants were also more likely to share the former, revealing a more cautious attitude towards social media as a source of news.
