Abstract

This article investigates the impact of intolerance on online political participation among young Europeans. Based on the theoretical insights of (in)tolerance, political participation, youth, and media studies, we explore whether and to what extent intolerant attitudes drive young people’s online political participation. In doing this, we draw on original survey data with booster samples for young people, covering nine European countries. Our results show that intolerance leads to more online political activities among young people. However, these individuals are not socially isolated and marginalised; in fact, the effect of intolerant attitudes on online political engagement is reinforced by participation in offline unconventional forms of participation and social capital. Our findings bear important consequences for the understanding of intolerant attitudes, youth politics, and (online) political participation.

不宽容对年轻人在线政治参与的影响

本文调查了不宽容对欧洲年轻人在线政治参与的影响。基于宽容、政治参与、青年和媒体研究的理论见解，我们探讨了不宽容态度是否以及在多大程度上推动了年轻人的在线政治参与。在此过程中，我们利用了覆盖9个欧洲国家的年轻人加强样本的原始调查数据。我们的研究结果表明，不宽容导致年轻人在网上进行更多的政治活动。然而，这些人并没有被社会孤立和边缘化;事实上，不宽容的态度对在线政治参与的影响通过参与线下的非常规参与形式和社会资本而得到加强。我们的研究结果对理解不宽容态度、青年政治和(在线)政治参与具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Politics publishes cutting-edge peer-reviewed analysis in politics and international studies. The ethos of Politics is the dissemination of timely, research-led reflections on the state of the art, the state of the world and the state of disciplinary pedagogy that make significant and original contributions to the disciplines of political and international studies. Politics is pluralist with regards to approaches, theories, methods, and empirical foci. Politics publishes articles from 4000 to 8000 words in length. We welcome 3 types of articles from scholars at all stages of their careers: Accessible presentations of state of the art research; Research-led analyses of contemporary events in politics or international relations; Theoretically informed and evidence-based research on learning and teaching in politics and international studies. We are open to articles providing accounts of where teaching innovation may have produced mixed results, so long as reasons why these results may have been mixed are analysed.
