New study by @janadreston.bsky.social @anneo.bsky.social & @germanneubaum.bsky.social reveals how users understand algorithms. Key findings: 71% have a basic understanding of algorithms but only 33% can explain how they work; users see themselves as passive actors when interacting with algorithms 🧪

I am very happy to share that the second paper of my dissertation has been published in Communication Research. German Neubaum and I examined the effect of intentionality of news seeking on social media on objective and subjective political knowledge.

Day 2 of the #DGPS2024 kicks off (for me) with a symposium on social media effects on politics and the environment - in the first talk @janadreston.bsky.social presents a cool pre-registered experiment testing the effects of intentional versus incidential social media news exposure
