Journalism and mass communication research is underutilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) for the purposes of specifying, estimating, and evaluating measurement models. The analytical exercises undertaken for this essay reveal SEM-based confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to be a multifaceted tool that can aid researchers in generating greater...
The European Union has become an active political player in the political realm, raising the question about the European Union’s linkages with all aspects of political life reflected in national Europeanized public spheres. This study offers empirical evidence on the extent to which mass media support, challenge or even ignore political representat...
Being attentive to European Parliamentary (EP) elections is a decisive prerequisite in becoming more knowledgeable about EU affairs as well as eventually participating in EU politics. Even though attentiveness to politics is a common way of acquiring political information en passant, empirical studies in this realm are scarce. By systematically int...
The MZES project 'Conversations of Democracy' (CoDem) addresses a major gap in the empirical study of deliberative politics. Although democratic theory's deliberative turn stimulated increasing interest in the role of talk for the quality of democratic politics, research has paid hardly any attention to ordinary citizens' informal conversations abo...
This study uses online survey data (n = 127) with an embedded media manipulation to examine relationships between character liking, media enjoyment, and narrative consistent attitudes with late-night political comedian, Stephen Colbert’s satirical campaign finance narrative. The data offer empirical support for the notion that narratively structure...
Focusing on ordinary people’s political talk the paper contributes to the study of deliberative democracy from a systemic perspective. By examining citizens’ everyday communication, it focuses on an object that is rarely studied from a deliberative perspective, but crucial for the deliberative system’s democratic character. By investigating the cou...
Our research project was aimed at teaching high-school pupils game design skills and raising their awareness for the subject area “informatics and society.” A project-based-teaching approach enabled us to incorporate social learning by having teams of pupils work on informatics-and-society topics and subsequently design their own games. The focus o...
Political comedy is a truly universal phenomenon and has attracted an unprecedented share of research. However, reasons why humorous political content is appreciated still lack in scientific explanations. By drawing on a mass communication lens, this paper paves the way for a theoretical framework for humor appreciation. Based on an experimental de...
Longitudinal or panel data analysis refers to the statistical analysis of pooled data which consists of a cross-section of units (e.g., countries, firms, households, individuals) for which there exist repeated observations over time. Many of the longitudinal data applications that appear in the literature are based on linear model theory. The most...
The European Parliament elections in 2014 ended in momentous gains throughout the continent for several groupings that have explicitly questioned the form, and even the very existence, of the European Union (EU) itself. This growth in discontentment presents a potentially formidable challenge to the integrationist agenda that has hitherto largely p...
Over the years the 2014 European Parliamentary Elections has been facing a plethora of challenges. Amongst others, anti-European, populist parties across the EU have been gaining respectable amounts of vote shares. This study sheds light on how anti-European populist parties used classic campaign tools as well as Facebook and Twitter in their 2014...
There are four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio. Whether a single item or a composite (index or scale), greater understanding of any measure often comes with an evaluation of four moments: mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis. The quality of a measure is judged using several criteria, the most important of which...
This paper aims at examining how politicians, journalists and citizens address and negotiate political issues in the context of the 2014 European Parliament Election on Twitter. By collecting tweets issued by Austria's parties and their leading candidates and tweets directed at them (N=26349) political agendas, public engagement and online social n...

The humorous depiction of politics belongs to one of the most popular formats in media outlets all over the word. Not surprisingly, a critical mass of scholarship has already examined the relationship between political comedy and its effects on democracy.
The project addresses a major gap in the empirical study of deliberative politics. Particularly, the project seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of people's conversations about public affairs as the most basic form of political communication and foundation of democracy's deliberative system by investigating their deliberativeness as well as their conditions and consequences.
