Modeling Internet Effects on Civic Participation
2020Co-Authors: Dhavan V. Shah, Nojin KwakAbstract:This article examines the role of the Internet as a source of political information and a sphere for public expression. Informational media use, whether traditional news sources or online public affairs content, is expected to foster interpersonal political discussion and online Civic messaging, contributing to increased Civic Participation. Using two-wave national panel survey data, three types of synchronous structural equation models are tested: cross sectional (relating individual differences), fixed effects (relating intraindividual change), and auto regressive (relating aggregate change). All models reveal that online media complement traditional media to foster political discussion and Civic messaging. These two forms of political expression, in turn, influence Civic Participation. Other variable orderings are tested to compare the theorized model to alternative causal specifications. Results reveal that the model produces the best fit, empirically and theoretically, with the influence of the Internet, rivaling the mobilizing power of traditional modes of information and expression.

a dialectic perspective on the interactive relationship between social media and Civic Participation the moderating role of social capital
Information Communication & Society, 2017Co-Authors: Doohun Choi, Donghee ShinAbstract:ABSTRACTBy analyzing representative national survey data, this study explores the ways in which social media and social capital jointly affect Civic Participation. In particular, the study examines how the use of social media to express opinions or acquire trusted information influence citizens participatory activities in Civic affairs. Our findings suggest that both social media use and social capital promote Civic activities. Interestingly, this study reveals that social media exert differential effects on Civic Participation, depending on the individual's level of social capital, rather than having an equal impact on Civic Participation. The study offers a new perspective from which to examine the relationships between social media, social capital, and Civic Participation. The results and implications are discussed in detail below.

gender differences in youths political engagement and Participation the role of parents and of adolescents social and Civic Participation
Journal of Adolescence, 2012Co-Authors: Elvira Cicognani, Bruna Zani, Bernard Fournier, Claire Gavray, Michel BornAbstract:Research examining youths’political development mostly focused on young people as a general group; comparatively less attention has been devoted to the examination of gender pathways toward citizenship. Two studies were conducted addressing (a) the role of parents’Participation and the moderating role of adolescent gender and age group (n!1419) and (b) the role of adolescent social and Civic Participation and the moderating role of adolescent gender and type of school (n!1871). Results con!rmed the gender gap in political interest and in the use of the Internet for political Participation, while no differences emerged for political activity and voting intentions. Adolescents’political engagement and Participation are in"uenced by parents’Participation (especially among girls) and by adolescents’social and Civic Participation (especially among boys). The impact of adolescents’social and Civic Participation on conventional Participation (voting intentions) is partially mediated by sense of community and institutional trust. !2011 The Foundation for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
