Beyond Individualism-Collectivism and Conflict Style: Considering Acculturation and Media Use     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(2):135-152

Opportunities for individuals from varied cultural backgrounds to interact, and therefore conflict, are inherently greater because the technologies, economies, and livelihoods of people of many countries are increasingly interdependent. In light of globalization, it is ever more valuable to understand how culture influences the way people manage conflict. The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing people's individualistic-collectivistic culture tendencies and conflict styles, and whether or not acculturation is a moderating factor between individualism-collectivism and conflict style among foreign nationals living within the United States. In addition to acculturation, researchers also measured media use. The data revealed statistically-significant relationships for media-use and acculturation on individualism-collectivism and conflict styles, and supported the idea that acculturation is a moderating factor between individualism-collectivism and conflict style, although this relationship was only significant among those who preferred the dominating conflict style.  相似文献   

An Examination of Media Usage among French-Muslims     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(1):41-57

Media help in the formation of identity. For ethnic communities, ethnic media can play a dual role, aiding in the acculturation process and assisting in holding onto ethnic identities. This study examines media and identity negotiation. Specifically, this study analyzes differences in media usage among French-Muslims. The principal researcher interviewed 42 first and second generation French-Muslims to explore their media usage and the relationships between their media usage and ethnic identification. Analysis uncovered two key findings. First, second-generation French-Muslims prefer to use ethnic media more than French produced media as a form of protest against French assimilationist policies. Second, abandoning ethnic media is equated with becoming French, which is something first and second generation French-Muslims resist.  相似文献   

Minority Cultures and Social Media: Magnifying Garifuna     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(4):319-339

This paper looks at social media use by the Garifuna people. It explores how they are using social media to create a supraterritorial cyberscape. Despite the claim that global media is marginalising minority cultures and causing global homogenisation, this research found that newer forms of social media are in fact creating virtual cultural cyberscapes that are extending minority cultures. The Garifuna cultural response to social media can be demonstrative of the positive impact of social media minority perspectives. The larger implication, though, is that traditional geographical models of cultural space are becoming obsolete. In this research, a total of 60 Garifuna in locations all across the United States and Honduras were selected for participation. Their access to and use of media were examined.  相似文献   

Intergroup Contact,Media Exposure,and Racial Attitudes     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(1):54-72

The present investigation uses intergroup contact and media systems’ dependency theories to illuminate the relative significance of various sources of information in shaping Caucasian-American attitudes toward African-Americans. It uses empirical data from an exploratory survey of college students to build a chain of related variables that link primary sources of information (face-to-face versus mediated) to stereotypical beliefs, perceived internal causal attributions for African-Americans’ failures, and prejudicial feelings toward African-Americans. Results suggest that face-to-face sources of racial/ethnic out-group information are more effective than mediated sources in prejudice reduction. The discussion includes theoretical and practical implications of the findings.  相似文献   

Pathways of Immigrant Political Socialization: Examining the Role of News Media,Social Connections,and Community Interaction     

Wenlin Liu  John Gastil 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2014,43(3):238-263

Going beyond the traditional socioeconomic status model of political participation, this study examines pathways that lead to the sociopolitical incorporation of immigrants in the USA, with a focus on the role of communication socialization agents. Using a Current Population Survey sample of 7,626 first-generation immigrants in the USA, results show that communication socialization agents significantly contribute to immigrants’ political socialization, and an important mediating path translates political learning into greater political engagement. Results also identify ethnic differences in how socialization variables affect immigrants’ socialization.  相似文献

影响新闻工作者新闻价值框架形成的因素   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李贞芳  韦路 《国际新闻界》2007,(4)

新闻价值框架作为新闻生产过程中体现出来的基本新闻价值观,是架构研究中的热点,但对于新闻工作何以采用某新闻价值框架,其影响因素则鲜有研究。本文通过对新闻工作者随机抽样调查的数据的研究发现,新闻工作者的从业动机,新闻工作者对媒介的社会功能的认知与他们所采用的新闻价值框架有着高度的相关关系,并用新闻专业主义的概念解释了中国新闻制度改革过程中的新闻工作者的新闻价值框架形成的原因。  相似文献

政治与伦理之间——清末政论报人媒介伦理观念的政治文化反思     

唐海江 《国际新闻界》2007,(3)

在政治文化的规约下,媒介伦理规范的功利化、媒介伦理评价的政治化、媒介伦理内涵的人品化,成为清末政论报人媒介伦理观的基本特征。其问题,如媒介伦理本体价值的缺乏、媒介伦理建设上社会性资源的缺失,均可从政治文化层面得到独到的解释。  相似文献
