互联网政治信息获取与政治认同的关系再考察--基于2012年美国ANES数据的实证研究

摘要

This paper aims to reexamine the relationship between Internet use and political identity in the context of American society based on the analysis of ANES data in 2012. It finds that when the variables like outer political efficacy and political interest are controlled, Internet political information acquisition can positively predict the identification with policy, government and institution significantly. Additionally, the outer political efficacy and political interest can regulate the positive influence of Internet use on po-litical identity. The higher the efficacy is, the less positive its influence on institution identity is. The higher the interest is, the less positive its influence on all the three kinds of political identity is.%基于对2012年美国ANES数据的分析，本研究将互联网使用与政治认同的关系放在美国社会的语境下进行重新考察。研究发现，当控制了外部政治效能感、政治兴趣等政治心理变量后，互联网政治信息获取显著地正向预测政策认同、政府认同和制度认同。外部政治效能感、政治兴趣等政治心理因素能够调节互联网使用对政治认同的正向影响。外部政治效能感越高，关注网络政治信息对制度认同的正向影响就越小。政治兴趣越高，互联网政治信息获取对三种政治认同类型的正向影响均越小。
