The rise of social media has significantly altered how information is shared and consumed, leading to questions about its impact on various aspects of life, particularly in relation to political engagement. Social media has emerged as a powerful tool in modern society, shaping opinions, spreading information, influencing behaviors, and driving discussions on critical issues, including political awareness and active civic engagement worldwide. This investigation seeks to elucidate the connection between social media exposure and political engagement, while evaluating its significance in modern society. The study comprised 300 participants, including first to fourth-year students. This study employs a quantitative approach and adopts a descriptive-correlational design. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test indicated a deviation from normal distribution in the data. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) showed a moderate positive correlation between social media use and political participation among the 300 participants (r = 0.472, p < 0.001). Students reported high social media use (M = 3.46, SD = 0.53), but relatively low political engagement (M = 2.51, SD = 0.724). Linear regression analysis confirmed social media use as a significant predictor of political participation (B = 0.724, p < 0.001), suggesting a positive relationship. This indicates that higher social media use may be associated with greater political involvement, despite the overall low level of engagement.

Full textAbstract:
Using a measure of political risk, relative to the United States, that captures unexpected political conditions, we show that political risk is priced in the cross section of currency momentum and contains information beyond other risk factors. Our results are robust after controlling for transaction costs, reversals, and alternative limits to arbitrage. The global political environment affects the profitability of the momentum strategy in the foreign exchange market; investors following such strategies are compensated for the exposure to the global political risk of those currencies they hold, that is, the past winners, and exploit the lower returns of loser portfolios. The risk compensation is mainly justified by the different exposures of foreign currencies in the momentum portfolio to U.S. political shocks, which is the main component of global political risk.

Full textAbstract:
Managing occupational exposures to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in the healthcare workplace remains both controversial and complex. Healthcare workers' perceptions of risk for occupational transmission of HIV-1, their knowledge of risk-reduction strategies, and their perceptions about appropriate postexposure management are all derived from an intricate interplay of scientific, political, social, and emotional sources. Following an occupational exposure to blood or blood-containing body fluids, a healthcare worker's immediate emotional response may be extreme gut-wrenching anxiety, with perceptions often biased by ignorance, uncertainty, and fear. The healthcare worker's postinjury emotional and psychological stress can be extraordinary; postinjury therapy, of necessity, must integrate medical, physical, psychological, and psychosocial aspects of care. Clinical decisions regarding HIV-1 injury management, therefore, are based not only on available scientific and medical information but also on measured actions designed to manage and presumably to diminish the profound anxiety almost invariably associated with an occupational exposure to HIV-1. In stark contrast to this common and extreme emotional reaction, the likelihood of disease transmission from such occupational exposures is relatively small.In this article, we will discuss a series of questions and issues typically encountered when a healthcare worker sustains an occupational exposure to HIV-1.

Full textAbstract:
This research paper focuses on indirect (mediated) media effects. In particular, we discuss which independent variables might intervene in and moderate the impact of framing effects on public attitudes (namely political trust), both in short-term and medium-term contexts. Among these, we focus on source credibility as a possible moderator of framing effects over time. The purpose of this study was to examine if and how source credibility influences individuals’ political trust. The moderator role of source credibility is analysed according to the exposure to different types of frames (repetitive or competitive) at different moments (one week or one month). By means of a framing experiment (N=769) on political topics, we argue that media frames could influence political trust: Source credibility has a marginal influence, which suggests that, with stronger stimulus material (video, as opposed to written press articles), the source could play an important role in the willingness of people to trust political figures in general. Thus, we might argue that the media play a significant role not only in offering information about politics and politicians, but also in altering people’s perceptions about them. On the other hand, time seems to matter, since framing effects are more powerful after competitive media exposures. This study proposes new theoretical insights into framing effects, in the sense that classical theories should be revisited in various cultural or political contexts

Full textAbstract:
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) raise questions among the scientific community and public health authorities about their potential risks to human health. Studying a prospective cohort of workers exposed to ENMs would be considered the gold standard for identifying potential health effects of nanotechnology and confirming the ‘no effect’ levels derived from cellular and animal models. However, because only small, cross-sectional studies have been conducted in the past 5 years, questions remain about the health risks of ENMs. This essay addresses the scientific, methodological, political and regulatory issues that make epidemiological research in nanotechnology-exposed communities particularly complex. Scientific challenges include the array of physicochemical parameters and ENM production conditions, the lack of universally accepted definitions of ENMs and nanotechnology workers, and the lack of information about modes of action, target organs and likely dose–response functions of ENMs. Standardisation of data collection and harmonisation of research protocols are needed to eliminate misclassification of exposures and health effects. Forming ENM worker cohorts from a combination of smaller cohorts and overcoming selection bias are also challenges. National or international registries for monitoring the exposures and health of ENM workers would be helpful for epidemiological studies, but the creation of such a registry and ENM worker cohorts will require political support and dedicated funding at the national and international levels. Public authorities and health agencies should consider carrying out an ENM awareness campaign to educate and engage all stakeholders and concerned communities in discussion of such a project.

Full textAbstract:
Political campaigns are intended to educate, convince and win over electorates to support and vote for a political party and candidates during elections. This article delved into how this calculated effort at getting the electorates to shift their existing position or reinforce what they already know and belief in, is achieved through persuasion. Various articles and postulations on persuasive appeal strategies were reviewed and findings showed that people easily go for messages that appeal to their existing beliefs, psychographic exposures and cultural leanings. However, new information and knowledge when carefully framed and presented strongly and consistently can sway decisions and influence shifts in opinion and attitude. The recent United States presidential election presents a good example a messaged that connects with the belief and expectations of the audience. The consistent message of MAGA (Make America Great Again) resonated with the American electorates and lead to the electoral victory of Donald Trump. On the other hand, the 2023 Nigerian election threw up another example of electorates disregarding existing affiliations and leanings to embrace a new message of from Consumption to Production espoused by Governor Peter Obi.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the applicability of the economics of information-driven product categorization – search vs experience products – when investigating online brand advertising and news synergies. Design/methodology/approach – Randomized controlled post-test experiment with over 400 participants in three treatment groups involving exposures to paid advertising (banner ad-plus-banner ad) and publicity (news article-plus-banner ad and banner ad-plus-news article) for four products. Questionnaire upon web site exit tested differences in brand attitudes among treatment groups and product categories. Findings – Findings indicate that including news about the brand in the online brand communication mix – either before or after ads – generates higher brand attitude scores for experience products. For search products sequence matters and brand attitudes are more positive when consumers are exposed to news articles first followed by advertisements. Research limitations/implications – Findings limited to the four product categories and student participants. Practical implications – When promoting search goods online, brand managers should include publicity only before display advertising efforts. For experience goods, publicity generates higher brand attitude scores when included either before or while running display advertising. Originality/value – First study examining online publicity and advertising synergies from an economics of information theory perspective separating search from experience goods when promoting new/unknown brands online. In the online environment, the line between journalistic/news and promotional/advertising text-based content has become increasingly blurred. Compared to paid online advertising, using third-party attributed communications sources like publicity increases message credibility. Adding product-related news and blog articles to banner advertisements may benefit from synergistic effects and have consumers process the brand message more extensively. The order of exposure to the different brand messages matters when promoting search as opposed to experience products online.

Full textAbstract:
Work-related cancers are highly preventable. The primary responsibility for prevention rests not with the workers who are affected by cancers, but with the manufacturers and distributors of carcinogenic substances and the companies who use them. U.S. public policies of strict product liability and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 address the issue of responsibility. Workers, health care providers, and others also have important roles that complement employers' preventive efforts. The range of prevention strategies available includes ones that should be applied to prevent potentially carcinogenic substances from being marketed and distributed; others that apply in the workplace where potential carcinogens are used; and public policy interventions aimed at ensuring universal implementation of pre-market and workplace prevention strategies. Work-related cancer remains a large problem, even though strategies exist to identify carcinogens and prevent and control on-the-job exposures. However, preventive efforts by government and the society have stalled and a continuing lack of toxicity information shows inadequate societal commitment. The principal barriers to prevention of work-related cancers are political and economic rather than scientific and medical.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Research on opinion polarization in the USA repeatedly finds more divergence among politically privileged groups: respondents who are college educated, politically interested, party identified or have a liberal/conservative orientation. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether their excluded counterparts can be polarized by exposure to political information on the internet. Design/methodology/approach Quantile regression and visual analysis of raw data from the online and face-to-face samples in the 2012 and 2016 American National Election Studies (n=9,563) assessed the impact of online political information on opinion polarization among ideological moderates, political Independents, respondents without a college degree, and those with low interest in politics. Findings Exposure to online political information during the survey was associated with significant polarizing shifts toward more consistent ideological positions in all four groups. Practical implications Engaging the middle is a social justice issue as much as a matter of political conflict, and evidence suggests that politically excluded groups use the internet to translate their own views into the language of policy opinions and popular (polarized) politics. Recommended policy interventions include information literacy programs. Further research should use experimental models and browser histories. Originality/value Current research on political polarization leaves open the question of whether larger portions of the electorate are available to join the fray. This study shows that excluded publics can be polarized via exposure to online information.

Scherer, Aaron. "The impact of political cues on information seeking and the need for cognitive closure." Diss., University of Iowa, 2014. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/4747.
Full textAbstract:
Previous research has demonstrated that the political ideology one adopts is strongly influenced by three social-cognitive motives: motives to reduce uncertainty, manage threats, and experience solidarity.
The goal of the current studies was to examine the possibility that this relationship might also work in reverse, with political ideology influencing social-cognitive motives. To this end, four studies examined the impact of conservative cues on need for cognitive closure (NFCC), a measure of motivation to reduce uncertainty, and tested between three accounts of the impact of conservative cues on selective exposure (SE) to confirming information, the primary measure of NFCC in the current studies. Studies 1-3 examined how exposure to the American flag, a conservative cue, impacted SE (Studies 1 and 3) and the accessibility of NFCC (Study 2). Study 4 examined how exposure to partisan news sources impacted SE. Exposure to conservative cues may increase SE by making political group membership salient, resulting in the defensive engagement in SE to maintain a positive view of one's political in-group (social identity account), or by priming the political stereotype that conservatives are high in NFCC, which individuals (stereotype priming account) or only conservatives (active self-concept account) assimilate towards.
The four studies produced mixed results, but overall, were most supportive of the stereotype priming account. Specifically, there was evidence that exposure to conservative cues increased SE (Studies 1 and 3) and made NFCC more accessible (Study 2). Additionally, these results were not moderated by political ideology, as predicted by the active self-concept account, and there was no evidence of increased affiliation with one's political in-group, as predicted by the social identity account. In Study 4, exposure to the conservative news source reduced SE compared to exposure to the moderate and liberal news sources, results inconsistent with all three accounts. Theoretical and practical implications, as well the complexities of the current studies' results, are discussed.

This paper studies the impact of confirmation bias on the choice between biased sources of political information in a pre-election period. A sample of 204 Portuguese respondents was used, through a survey regarding their political identity and relating it to each one’s choice of information sources, as a voter and as a single decision-maker. Significant differences in behaviour were found according to one’s political identity. Evidence was found for some significant confirmation-seeking behaviour among right-wing participants, but some hypotheses concerning expressive voting and the effects of various factors on confirmation bias weren’t confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
Within the field of political communication, the study of political advertising has attempted to relate its content to posited effects. Most of this inquiry has been conducted using one or some combination of three methods: survey, experiment, and content analysis. As a result, a picture of what political advertising does and why and how it does it has emerged. This chapter synthesizes findings by suggesting that differences in spending on political advertising can affect vote choice; that advertising’s effect on vote choice are mediated by factors that include party affiliation, political knowledge and involvement, and media exposure; and that such advertising has a significant effect on the political process. “Negative” advertising is a messaging structure that affects the political process for ill and for good; it can both decrease and increase voter turnout but is misunderstood when conflated with informative “attack” and “contrast” advertising.

Full textAbstract:
The rich research heritage on source credibility is fundamentally linked to processes of political communication and the provision of political information. Networked digital technologies, however, have recently complicated the assessment of source credibility by modifying people’s ability to determine source expertise and trustworthiness, which are the foundations upon which credibility evaluations have traditionally rested. This chapter explores source credibility in online contexts by examining the credibility of digital versus traditional channels, the nature of political information conveyed by social media, and the dynamics of political information online. In addition, this chapter considers related research concerns, including the link between credibility and selective exposure, the potential for group polarization, and the role of social media in seeking and delivering credible political information. These concerns suggest challenges and opportunities as information consumers navigate the contemporary information environment in search of the knowledge to make them informed members of a politically engaged citizenry.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the progression of mass media effects research from early preoccupation with attitude change through minimal effects paradigms to the current resurgence in persuasion research. Implications of contemporary changes in the media environment on media effects research are considered. After surveying and classifying definitions of media effects, the chapter discusses how fundamental transformations in the media environment brought about by information technology may work to reshape scholarly understandings of the relationship between news sources and audiences. The availability of multiple sources makes it possible for consumers to be more selective in their exposure to news programs. Selective exposure means that people with limited interest in politics may bypass the news entirely, while the more attentive may tailor their exposure to suit their political preferences. Both these trends imply a weakening of persuasion effects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The chapter Information Consumption and Trust examines the conditions influencing access to information, shaped by the media environment, the credibility of the news, and public preferences. This section begins with an overview of the evolution of research on uses and gratifications in the field of mass communication, before detailing how information consumption patterns have transformed since the beginning of the millennium. This transformation has resulted from technological and social changes, which have also led to an overabundance of information, and triggered a crisis of confidence in traditional media. The chapter offers an in-depth analysis of how Spaniards perceive their level of information and what their main preferences are, both in terms of coverage and topics. It provides details on differences across gender, political self-positioning, and level of educational and geographic origin. It also highlights the nuances between the media normally used for information, those preferred for obtaining in-depth knowledge of a news topic, and those sought for higher-quality or more verified information. This section reveals key details about the audience characteristics of Spain’s main media outlets, including television, radio, and both print and digital press. In line with the tradition of research on media politicisation and selective exposure, the chapter also provides findings on public perceptions of this phenomenon. In today’s socio-political context, the data collected underscores the bias of politicisation in the perception of media outlets that deviate from ideological lines, with a tendency to view them as leaning towards political extremes.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPopulist communication has taken on a central epistemic dimension in recent years. This means that populist blame attributions are often targeting established institutions of knowledge, such as scientists and mainstream media. It also implies that the objective status of conventional knowledge is subject to delegitimization discourses. Despite the potential consequences of epistemic populism on people’s trust in established information, we know little about how it is constructed online, and how it may impact citizens’ perceptions of facts and knowledge. Therefore, for this Chapter, I conducted a qualitative content analysis of truth claims on the hyper-partisan media platform Breitbart in the US. In a subsequent experiment, I explored the effects of exposure to epistemic populism on perceptions of factual relativism. The main findings of the content analysis indicate that truth claims on Breitbart follow a populist logic, given that people-centric knowledge claims were emphasized whilst established claims on truth and expert knowledge were delegitimized and flagged as ‘fake news.’ The experiment revealed that exposure to such populist claims on truth and knowledge did not result in a more relative understanding of objectivity and truth. Thus, even though populist communication undermines the ideas of objective expert knowledge by fuelling distrust in established truth claims, this attack on knowledge does not promote a more relative understanding of truth and knowledge among participants. In the chapter, different explanations and implications are presented. Among other things, the relatively high levels of perceived relativism toward facts in the studied population indicate that there is little room for populist communication to influence perceptions on truth. In addition, ideas about truth and knowledge can be regarded as stable traits, and populist communication may be more likely to strengthen and reinforce people-centric truth claims than to fuel general levels of relativism and skepticism toward the objective and fixed status of truth.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe research interest in Peru’s western arid coast (Costa) was in the well-being of persons displaced short distances away from their homes by floods during the 2017 Coastal El Niño (CEN) event for two reasons. First, Peru’s coast is periodically affected by severe El Niño-driven rainfall, which climate change will increase significantly in this century. Second, related floods are the main driver of displacement on Peru’s coast. The 2017 CEN floods, specifically, were the largest push for such displacement over the past decade in Peru, with close to 300,000 cases. Thus, examining the well-being of displaced persons from villages in the Piura Region after the 2017 CEN provides a useful temporal analog for future challenges. In the first section of this chapter, I provide information on the geographical context, measured and projected climate change, exposure, vulnerabilities, local coping and adaptation, and hazard-related migration by Peru’s coast. Then, I explain the new qualitative and quantitative results of this case study of displaced persons’ well-being following the 2017 CEN. Findings underline that the displacement occurred under high structural constraints, including severe climate risks and deficient DRR/DRM; poverty and inequality; limited livelihood options; tenure insecurity; poor and hardly accessible basic services; weak governance; and limited political participation. Conversely, structural opportunities were low. As a result, the severe and abrupt CEN floods caused forced, survival migration with detrimental conditions for moving and settling. Throughout the lifecycle of displacement, people suffered extreme losses, which continued to worsen their prospects for development from a secure base and a space to live better. Conversely, social relatedness remained similar after moving. Because displacement has become prolonged without substantial improvements, people’s need fulfillment, long-term asset base, and capacities for climate adaptation have worsened. Consequently, most displaced persons evaluated their need fulfillment as negative, and only few experienced partial positive feelings or cognitive satisfaction despite their plight. Expectations for the future were mostly negative and resulted in prevalent enforced fear as well as some fragile adjustment. Based on these findings in this case, I conclude by deriving more general propositions on the well-being impacts of climate migration.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines whether exposure to the personal Websites and blogs of party leaders during an election campaign affects the perceptions held by voters regarding the traits of party leaders. Additionally, the effects of Website exposure and blog exposure are compared. The chapter presents two experiments conducted during the 2007 Finnish general elections, where the leaders of the major parties had to deal with personal image concerns in their campaigns. The experiments used authentic Websites and blogs of party leaders as stimuli and young voters as participants. In both experiments, the impressions of the traits of party leaders were measured by a semantic differential consisting of bipolar adjectives. Limited effects were found. The perceptions of two of the three leaders were not affected either by exposure to their Websites or their blogs. However, the impressions of one leader were enhanced by exposure to his Website as well as his blog. The types of traits affected by blog reading and Website exposure differed respectively. In explaining the findings, Website features, blogging approaches, and participant expectancies are considered.

Full textAbstract:
Communication research underlines two types of selective exposure to the media: one guided by ideological-partisan affiliations and one guided by interest in politics. This work will compare both motivations in the consumption of political information through three media types (digital press, television, and radio) by Spanish citizens during the 2019 November General Election. Through multinomial logistic regressions applied to a representative post-electoral survey, results show that ideological-partisan orientations are the most important variables governing selective exposure, especially for the digital press and the radio. Besides confirming ideological selective exposure, the data highlight an important tendency towards selective avoidance of news media perceived as ideologically incongruent. For television, however, both socio-demographic trends and ideological orientations exhibit a similar explanatory weight, which suggests that political segmentation of the Spanish television market is still being deployed by communication groups, in comparison with the press and the radio.

Abstract Chapter 5 shows that exposure to bailouts triggers a political updating process that affects perceptions of how democracy works. The chapter explains how such updating takes place and discusses how it affects citizens’ perceptions of democracy. The discussion starts by framing exposure to bailouts as an information shock to citizens’ prior knowledge on democratic performance. This information shock, however, differs depending on how intensively citizens are exposed to the conditions attached to the financial aid: citizens with firsthand experience of bailouts will update their beliefs about the functioning of democracy differently from unexposed citizens. Using Eurobarometer data for the period 2001–2015, the chapter develops a series of difference-in-difference models to test how exposure to bailouts affected individuals’ attitudes towards satisfaction with democracy and trust in different political institutions. This analysis is supplemented by a more detailed examination of different dimensions of democracy using data from the sixth round of the European Social Survey.

This chapter empirically, longitudinally, and systematically examines U.S. Senate campaign information on YouTube over three election cycles. The Internet broadcast yourself world of YouTube offers some sharp contrasts to the television broadcast world. Unlike on television, candidates and the traditional news media are being challenged by citizens in shaping their video presence on YouTube. Interest groups that leverage financial resources to force viewers to watch broadcast advertisements are marginalized on YouTube where accidental exposure is limited. While the broadcast world converges on a few video formats, YouTube campaign videos exhibit substantial diversity of format.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter investigates nefarious dynamics of the “demand” side of political communication, that is, the negative side of information processing at the individual level. It focuses on sets of mechanisms at the two “ends” of individual information processing: First, looking first at “downstream” effects, the chapter discusses recent and current research by ASCoR about the potentially nefarious effects of exposure to dark and delegitimising political information, e.g., in terms of depressed voter turnout and increased polarisation. Second, looking at “upstream” mechanisms, the chapter discusses evidence that important segments of the population have pre-existing negative attitudes towards political information itself. A final section opens up on the challenges, both theoretical and methodological, that our discipline is facing.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter investigates two sets of individual drivers of political participation: cognitive attitudes (knowledge, interest, efficacy) and emotions. Bringing together separate strands of research in cognitive and political psychology literature, the chapter first discusses the importance of cognition and emotion as drivers of participation and voting. Special attention is granted to their interplay—most notably, the fact that emotions should be expected to have a more fundamental role in participation at higher levels of cognitive attitudes. On top of this direct effect, the chapter then discusses the importance of cognition and emotions to mediate the effects of (exposure to) political information. Most notably, focusing on the example of dark political communication (negativity, incivility), the chapter discusses recent evidence illustrating that exposure to such information shapes emotions and cognition, which then in turn drive participation.

Full textAbstract:
Geographic maps have been of military and economic importance throughout the ages. Rulers have commissioned maps to control the financial, economic, political, and military aspects of their sovereign entities. Large scale projects like the Ordnance Survey in the UK in the late 18th century, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition a few decades later to map the American West, are early examples of trailblazing efforts to create accurate modern maps of high strategic importance. Digitalization, globalization, and a larger urban and educated workforce necessitate a new understanding of the world, beyond traditional maps based on geographic features. Many of today's most critical threats know no geographic borders. For instance, cyber attacks can be orchestrated through globally distributed bot networks; just-in-time manufacturing relies on the free flow of goods across jurisdictions; global markets and the infrastructures that support them relay information and price signals globally within seconds. A lack of understanding financial interdependencies was clearly demonstrated by the freezing of credit markets in the last financial crisis and the uncertainty created by Brexit. Ten years after the financial crisis, we are still only beginning to map, model and visualise these critical maps of the financial world. We call for attention to work on a large scale project of "Financial Cartography" to address this gap. In financial cartography, we replace geographic proximity with logical proximity, such as financial interdependence, similarity (e.g., of portfolio or income streams), a flow of transactions or a magnitude of exposures. Similar to geographic maps, financial maps will find many important uses across business, government and military domains. Critically, they are needed for protection and projection of state power, for optimizing and managing risks in business, and in making policy decisions related to the major challenges of climate change, mass migration and geopolitical instability. Fundamentally, cartography is a way that reality can be modeled to communicate information on “big data” sets. Cartography allows one to simplify and reduce the complexity of the data to highlight salient features of the data, and to filter out noise. This makes maps ideal devices to increase the bandwidth by which information can be communicated to its users, for making quick decision based on complex data. In the following pages, we make a case and provide starting points for a research agenda around "Financial Cartography" in three interrelated parts: Maps of Trade Networks Maps of Financial Markets and Maps of Financial Market Infrastructures

Age-based voting eligibility in Mexicos 2018 general election shows that the just-eligible score higher on several measures of low-cost political engagement compared to the just-ineligible. Exposure to information that the youth vote will be pivotal in the election increases eligible respondents interest in the presidential debate and in the election result. Information about current policy outcomes affects eligible voters future policy priorities in ways consistent with the incentives of eligible respondents to collect and process electorally relevant information on salient policy issues.

Full textAbstract:
Immigration has become one of the most divisive political issues in Europe and around the world. In Germany, Europe’s largest refugee hosting country, public attitudes have reached a low point. Besides increased “real-life” exposure to immigrants, exposure to all sorts of messages centered around immigration and refugees may be behind this worrying trend. While prior research has investigated the effects of specific subjects of the immigration discourse, such as specific frames or statistical information, it remains unclear how “neutral” reporting on refugee migration impacts public attitudes. We fill this gap using data from an original survey experiment conducted in Germany in May 2023. The findings suggest that a sober (neutral) video providing basic background information on Syrian refugees reduces humanitarian concerns for this refugee group, increases the perception of security threats and lowers the willingness to support refugee camps abroad. The results are driven by West German residents. Qualitative data reveals that, although the video is indeed perceived as “neutral”, it triggers security-related associations among West Germans, seemingly eroding concerns for refugees’ wellbeing. Conversely, East Germans, while starting from a slightly more negative base level, more frequently express indifference. Finally, merging our survey data with administrative data on the foreign population in respondents’ counties reveals that larger percentage increases in real-life immigration exposure mitigate the treatment effect.

Full textAbstract:
In the framework of the D.Rad project, WP10 – entitled Civic education as preventive measure and inclusionary practice – seeks to prevent youth radicalisation through civic education and to identify new pedagogical methods and interactive, participatory tools for building pro-social resilience to radical ideologies. We consider as ‘civic education programs’ all those initiatives of instruction that aim at affecting “people’s beliefs, commitments, capabilities, and actions as members or prospective members of communities”1, as well as foster critical thinking and promoting “civic engagement and support democratic and participatory governance”2. Such programs have been found “to help shape personal efficacy (i.e., an individual’s belief in their ability to effect change, political participation, and tolerance”3. Furthermore, “educational tools as such have proven to foster individuals' desistance from terrorist groups and ideologies by broadening the scope of their political values, ideals, and concepts (e.g., justice, honor, freedom) and by introducing alternative perspectives and worldviews”4. In D.rad’s WP10, the focus is on civic education programs that adopt a participatory approach. This means involving all participants in expressing their ideas and bringing about change. Specifically, these methods empower marginalized voices, promoting civic engagement, problem-solving, and networking. Using techniques like role-plays and interactive tools, these programs foster critical thinking, empathy, democratic literacy, active citizenship, resilience, and socio-emotional learning. Critical thinking involves making reliable judgments based on sound information. It includes steps like asking questions, gathering relevant data, and considering various perspectives. Research shows a positive link between critical thinking and personal efficacy. Empathy is vital in civic and peace education. It means understanding and resonating with others' emotions. Pedagogical approaches like group work and cooperative tasks nurture empathy, as well as exposure to diverse choices and scenarios. Democratic literacy involves recognizing, valuing, and respecting all individuals as legitimate members of society. Non-formal education, like theatre, is a powerful way to engage communities in raising awareness and fostering democratic literacy. Active citizenship means actively participating in one's local community with values like respect, inclusion, and assistance. Educational programs equip participants with skills and knowledge for resilient societies built on trust. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from challenges, a crucial skill in personal development against extremist ideologies. Research links resilience to pro-social behaviour and life satisfaction. Civic education fosters pro-social behaviour through empathy and voluntary actions that benefit others. Socio-emotional learning (SEL) includes five key components: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness, and relationship skills. Through SEL, individuals understand and regulate emotions, set positive goals, show empathy, build healthy relationships, and make responsible choices. Effective SEL training leads to improved academic performance and positive attitudes. It reduces disruptive behaviours and disciplinary issues. Educators prioritize SEL through activities that encourage communication, cooperation, emotional regulation, empathy, and self-control. Against this background, the final goal of WP10 was to foster social cohesion, democratic literacy, active citizenship and a shared sense of belonging to counteract tendencies of grievance, alienation and polarisation through the development of a participatory role-play targeting community organizations, youth centres, social/educational workers and interested citizens. WP10 was carried out in three parallel and complementary phases:- project partners involved in the WP (EURAC – Bolzano/Bozen, AUP – Paris, FUB – Berlin, BILGI – Istanbul and PRONI – Brcko) analysed civic education programs implemented in their countries to combat radicalisation and violent extremism in order to highlight approaches, practices and challenges that needed to be taken into account in the development of WP10’s toolkit; EURAC complemented such analysis with an overall recognition of existing programmes at EU level and beyond; - WP partners also contacted experts (academics, practitioners, NGO-leaders, public officers at the Ministry of Justice, social workers) in the field of de-radicalisation, civic-education, cultural mediation and theatrical methods to provide both feedback on challenges faced in past projects and opinions on the role-play developed in the framework of WP10; - EURAC, assisted by project partners and external experts developed a role-play as a preventive tool for youth radicalisation; WP partners then tested the role-play in their respective countries to collect feedback on its implementation and effectiveness. The role-play thus developed, called “In Search of the Lost Past”, is a civic education game encourages participants to reflect on available choices, avoiding adverse and/or violent outcomes. It aims to enhance critical thinking skills in problem-solving and understanding diverse perspectives. Accordingly, it fosters open-mindedness and respect for diversities and alternative worldviews while expanding participants' understanding of values, ideals, and concepts like justice, honour, and freedom. Participants collectively reconstruct stories through backwards journeys, starting from possible endings and envisioning earlier events from assigned character viewpoints. Through embodying diverse profiles and exploring various choice pathways, this reverse storytelling method prompts contemplation on decisions and their nuanced repercussions. Although all stories share a common finale, participants shape unique, parallel narratives based on distinct character perspectives. This imaginative process elucidates how personal experiences shape worldviews and life trajectories. This imaginative process serves to illuminate how personal experiences contribute to the formation of worldviews and life trajectories. Post-activity discussions centre around the decisions made and their far-reaching implications, emphasizing alternative approaches to challenging issues. Stepping into different mindsets not only cultivates empathy but also fortifies critical analysis skills among participants. "In Search of the Lost Past" serves as a dynamic platform for exploring and understanding the complex interplay of choices, perspectives, and outcomes. Reconstructing the past helps us be open to new and diverse futures.
