Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1998.

Given various standards of the ideal citizen and the role of the mass media in a democratic system, this study posed the general question: What is the individual-level process by which mass communication affects political participation? Three forms of participation were differentiated: "traditional" participatory acts, such as voting, writing a letter to the editor, and petitioning; participation in a deliberative forum; and acts aimed at improving community life, reflecting social capital or civic engagement. Four groups of antecedents were examined: (1) demographics; (2) interpersonal influences; (3) mass media use; and (4) factors that potentially may mediate the influence of mass media use, including cognitions and time pressures. This study also explored the effects of individuals' subjective knowledge of participation, or what they thought they would do to take part in the local political process.

520 $a Given various standards of the ideal citizen and the role of the mass media in a democratic system, this study posed the general question: What is the individual-level process by which mass communication affects political participation? Three forms of participation were differentiated: "traditional" participatory acts, such as voting, writing a letter to the editor, and petitioning; participation in a deliberative forum; and acts aimed at improving community life, reflecting social capital or civic engagement. Four groups of antecedents were examined: (1) demographics; (2) interpersonal influences; (3) mass media use; and (4) factors that potentially may mediate the influence of mass media use, including cognitions and time pressures. This study also explored the effects of individuals' subjective knowledge of participation, or what they thought they would do to take part in the local political process.
520 $a Data collected from a Midwestern community in the fall of 1998 (N = 416) were analyzed. Results from hierarchical regression analyses and structural equation modeling indicated that these three forms of participation have distinctly different predictors. Demographics influenced only traditional forms of participation. Frequency of political discussion about local affairs predicted all three dimensions, but the size of one's discussion network enhanced traditional participation and civic engagement, while the diversity of this network affected participation in a deliberative forum. Of the communication variables, viewing local television news had no effect on the criterion variables. Only issue discussion and reading newspapers for local public affairs information enhanced the three forms of participation. Issue discussion had both a direct effect, and worked through information processing; newspaper use, on the other hand, tended to work through information processing and factual political knowledge. For the subjective knowledge dimensions, results indicated that structured thinking of political behaviors which one could engage in had a positive effect on participation in a deliberative forum. Conviction, or the belief that engaging in these behavior(s) would help achieve one's goal, predicted traditional participation and civic engagement.
