• Study Finds the Internet Makes Youth More Engaged Citizens

  tags: youth study activism internet

  • recent findings from a longitudinal study of high school-age students challenges these notions, suggesting that youth who pursue their interests online are more likely to be engaged in civic issues.
  • The study found that spending time in online communities appears to promote engagement with broader society.
  • It also found that youth are not simply participating in online political discussions that become simply echo chambers that fail to expose them to diverse perspectives. Only 5% of youth reported that they were exposed only to political views they agreed with online. More damning, perhaps – 34% said they didn’t encounter any political perspectives online at all.
  • The findings from the study echo recent research from the Pew Internet and American Life Project that found that among adults as well, Internet users were more civically-engaged.
