japanese public opinion Political Persuasion and the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons
Social Science Research Network, 2020Co-Authors: Jonathon Baron, Rebecca Davis Gibbons, Stephen HerzogAbstract:The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) poses a challenge to decades of Japanese nuclear policy. While Japan has relied on the US nuclear umbrella since the aftermath of World War II, numerous pro-disarmament groups – including the Hibakusha – are calling for Tokyo to join the Treaty. We contribute to these discussions with commentary on a new national survey we conducted in Japan (N = 1,333). Our results indicate that baseline support for the Prime Minister signing and the Diet ratifying the TPNW stands at approximately 75% of the Japanese public. Only 17.7% of the population is opposed, and 7.3% is undecided. Moreover, this support is cross-cutting, with a wide majority of every demographic group in the country favoring nuclear disarmament. Most strikingly, an embedded survey experiment demonstrates that the Japanese government cannot shift public opinion to oppose the Ban through the use of policy arguments or social pressure. Such broad support for the TPNW indicates that the Japanese government will not be able to hide from the Treaty and must take action to restore its credibility as a leader on nuclear disarmament.

second screening and Political Persuasion on social media
Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, 2017Co-Authors: Matthew Barnidge, Homero Gil De Zuniga, Trevor DiehlAbstract:This article seeks to explain Political Persuasion in relation to second screening—people’s use of a second screen (i.e., smartphone/laptop) while watching television to access further information or discuss TV programs. Employing a two-wave-panel survey in the United States, results show this emergent practice makes people more open to changing their Political opinions, particularly among those who habitually use social media for news or frequently interact with others in social media contexts.

communicative antecedents of Political Persuasion Political discussion citizen news creation and the moderating role of strength of partisanship
Mass Communication and Society, 2017Co-Authors: Alberto Ardevolabreu, Matthew Barnidge, Homero Gil De ZunigaAbstract:Although much attention has been paid to how media use and interpersonal discussion motivate people to engage in Political Persuasion, and despite recent efforts to study the role of digital media technologies, less is known about the creation of news and public affairs content online. This study sheds light on how online content creation works alongside other communicative behaviors, such as news use and Political discussion, to affect attempted Political Persuasion. Using two-wave panel survey data, we find that Political discussion and citizen news creation mediate the relationships between online and traditional news use, on one hand, and attempted Persuasion, on the other. Furthermore, strength of partisanship moderates the relationship between content creation and attempted Persuasion. Findings are discussed in light of their implications for the Political communication and public sphere processes.

Political Persuasion on social media tracing direct and indirect effects of news use and social interaction
New Media & Society, 2016Co-Authors: Trevor Diehl, Brian E Weeks, Homero Gil De ZunigaAbstract:News use via social media has been linked to pro-democratic Political behaviors. However, most people use social media for non-Political purposes, like connecting with friends and browsing news feeds. Recent research indicates these behaviors may also have democratic benefits, by means of Political expression in social media. Drawing on panel data from a nationally representative sample, this study extends this line of research by exploring how social interaction and news-seeking behaviors on social media lead to diverse networks, exposure to dissenting Political opinion, and ultimately reconsidering and changing one’s Political views. Social media are a unique communication platform, and their attributes might influence exposure to Political information. The tendency for users to build and maintain friend networks creates a potential deliberative space for Political Persuasion to take place. Consistent with prior literature, news use leads to Political Persuasion. More interestingly, aPolitical, but soci...

the environmental movement and the modes of Political action
Comparative Political Studies, 2003Co-Authors: Russell J Dalton, Steve Recchia, Robert RohrschneiderAbstract:There have been widely differing claims about how environmental groups attempt to reform environmental policy—from those who see the movement as challenging the prevailing social paradigm through confrontation and violence, to those who lament the movement's reliance on conventional styles of Political Persuasion. This article uses data from the 1998 Global Environmental Organizations Survey (GEOS) to map the Political activities used by environmental groups across the globe and to determine what best accounts for these patterns of action. The authors examine the responses of 248 environmental groups in the GEOS; these data allow the authors to compare environmental group behaviors across 59 nations and 5 continents. They find that most environmental groups engage in a mixture of Political methods and activities. Although there is little evidence that institutional structures influence participation, the mix of organizational resources and ideology are potent influences on participation patterns. The resu...
