Outside of Spiral of Silence? Examining Partisans Outspokenness on Social Networking Sites

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 32 - Refereed conference paper (without host publication)peer-review

Abstract

This study discloses the direct and the indirect effects of issue involvement on partisans’ outspokenness on SNSs in the context of legalizing same-sex in Taiwan. The indirect effects appear to offset the direct effects. On one hand, partisans are motivated to speak out online by their strong involvement; on the other hand, their strong issue involvement leads to presumed media influence, which prohibits them from expressing opinions on SNSs. Their offline participation is also affected.
