Abstract

Participation in user-generated content (UGC) consistently relates to participation in various forms of online and offline politics, suggesting that it is likely to complement or even serve as a gateway to instrumental engagement. Yet, there has been little attempt to offer a comprehensive account of the mechanisms that explain these relationships. We address this gap in the literature by theorizing how participation in UGC contributes to civic readiness. Specifically, we advance a conceptual model relating the attributes of UGC involvement to civic readiness through two concurrent processes: a civic learning process that relates the attributes to civic ability and a self-determination process that relates them to civic motivation. In doing so, we suggest that in addition to the development of civic skills, participation in UGC also contributes to civic readiness by promoting the perception that such participation is self-determined. The result is the development of competent and engaged citizens.
公民学习与自决:一个用户生成内容与公民准备度的模型
参与用户生成内容(UGC)始终与参与各种形式的在线和离线政治有关,这表明它可能是对工具参与的补充,甚至是一个门户。然而,很少有人试图全面解释解释这些关系的机制。我们通过理论化参与教资会如何有助于公民准备来解决文献中的这一差距。具体而言,我们提出了一个概念模型,通过两个并行的过程将教资会参与的属性与公民意愿联系起来:一个是公民学习过程,将属性与公民能力联系起来;另一个是自决过程,将其与公民动机联系起来。在这样做的过程中,我们建议,除了培养公民技能外,参与教资会也有助于提高公民的意愿,因为人们认为这种参与是自主的。其结果是培养了有能力和积极参与的公民。
