Abstract

This study examines geographic variations in the relationship between social media political curation and political trust. Analyzing survey data from the U.S. state of Michigan, findings reveal a positive relationship between social media political curation and internal political efficacy, which is stronger among rural residents compared to urban counterparts. Moreover, this geographic pattern extends to trust in state government; the positive indirect relationship between social media political curation and trust in state government via increased internal political efficacy is only observed among rural residents. These results highlight social media’s potential as a civic platform that can connect geographically disconnected communities to politics.

策展授权：社交媒体政治策展、政治能力和信任相互关系中的空间分异——以密歇根州为例

本研究考察了社交媒体政治策划与政治信任之间关系的地理差异。通过分析美国密歇根州的调查数据，研究结果显示，社交媒体政治策划与内部政治效能之间存在正相关关系，这种关系在农村居民中强于城市居民。此外，这种地理格局延伸到对州政府的信任；社交媒体政治策展与国家政府信任之间通过提高内部政治效能的间接正向关系仅在农村居民中存在。这些结果凸显了社交媒体作为公民平台的潜力，它可以将地理上分离的社区与政治联系起来。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
