| description | This study investigated the effects of
politicians' nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young
people's political efficacy - a key determinant of political
participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of
N = 125 high school students
(15-20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no
posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or
participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not
affect participants' political efficacy, participatory posts exerted
distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician
presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found
significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast,
for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant
negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any
effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and
individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on
participation is discussed. |
