美国近三年舆论学的研究图景——对美国《舆论季刊》2015～2017年164篇论文的梳理分析

The Study of American Public Opinion in the Last Three Years——Literature Review from 2015 to 2017 of Public Opinion Quarterly

近年来,国内舆论学界已经出现对国外舆论学热点的研究,但比较遗憾的是,对作为舆论学发源地的美国的舆论学的研究尚不多见。本文梳理分析了国际舆论学研究权威期刊美国《舆论季刊》(Public Opinion Quarterly)2015~2017年的全部论文共164篇,发现美国舆论学近三年的研究热点主要集中在调查方法及效度的研究,之后依次为政治层面、社会层面、态度心理及行为层面、互联网与媒体层面及文化层面。与国内研究相比,美国舆论学更注重微观层面,如态度、心理与行为等方面的研究,选题广泛而精细,值得国内舆论学界关注及借鉴。
