社交媒体与政治参与——一个理论框架的建构

Social Media and Political Participation: An Exploration of the Theoretical Framework

社交媒体的兴起不仅改变了人们沟通交流的方式,也影响着个体的政治参与模式。现有研究较多围绕社交媒体展开论述,而对"政治参与"这一核心概念缺乏细致深入的梳理。文章主张从认知性参与、表达性参与、行动性参与三个向度检视社交媒体与个体政治参与的逻辑关系。这一基于"政治参与"的理论框架不仅有助于全面、准确地理解社交媒体自身特征与不同政治参与行为的关联,而且将为后续研究提供有益的路径参考。

The rise of social media has not only changed the way of communication, but also influenced political participation. Current literature overemphasizes the features of social media, but overlooks ＂political participation＂ as a core concept. This article proposes a new theoretical framework （cognitive participation, expressive participation, practical participation） to analyze the relations between social media and political participation, which expects to offer a more comprehensive perspective upon this issue and provides references for future studies.
