title = {Symbolisch oder echt? Die politische Beteiligung junger Erwachsener in Deutsch- land online und offli},
year = {2016},
note = {Although electoral participation has decreased especially in the group
of young adults in recent years, online participation may lead to more
political engagement of young people. By asking for their activities
in conventional and unconventional forms of political participation
and the reasons for their engagement, their online participation can
be identified as primarily either a diversion, symbolic behaviour or
‘genuine’ participation. Furthermore, influence is a major
motivation to participate online. Internet participation options are
highly frequented, mostly by people who also participate
conventionally. In addition, mainly “young critical citizens” can
be encouraged to participate via the Internet.},
