Abstract

This study undertook an analysis of network agenda setting during the 2020 U.S. Presidential campaign, focusing on the interactions between the campaigns and their respective supporters within the context of a polarized social media environment. By employing social network analysis techniques to examine issue agendas, the study revealed a relatively weak correlation between the agendas of the campaigns and their affiliated supporters on Facebook. Conversely, it found a notable association between entities sharing the same ideological orientation—party supporters displayed a higher degree of engagement with their own party’s campaign, and vice versa. The implications of these findings, from a theoretical, methodological, and practical standpoint, have been thoroughly discussed.

Facebook 上的网络议题议程设置：探索两极分化的竞选活动与政党支持者之间的相互作用

本研究对 2020 年美国总统竞选期间的网络议程设置进行了分析，重点关注在两极分化的社交媒体环境下竞选团队与各自支持者之间的互动。通过采用社交网络分析技术来研究议题议程，研究发现，竞选议程与其在 Facebook 上的附属支持者之间的相关性相对较弱。相反，研究发现意识形态取向相同的实体之间存在明显的关联--党派支持者对本党派竞选活动的参与度更高，反之亦然。研究从理论、方法和实践的角度深入探讨了这些发现的意义。
