Essen und Trinken geniesst in unserer Gesellschaft einen wichtigen Stellenwert. Nicht nur was wir essen oder wie wir uns beim Essen verhalten, sondern auch wie sich die Nahrungsmittel und Speisen, die wir zu uns nehmen, mit der Zeit verändern, sind von Kultur und Gesellschaft geprägt. Die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Essen und Trinken kann als typisches volkskundliches Forschungsfeld betrachtet werden, an dem sich auch gut Veränderungen des Faches ablesen lassen.
This study examines climate claims by analyzing fact-checked content from four countries. In addition, it investigates several important aspects of professional fact-checking practices including transparency, accessibility, and the use of corrective sources. Findings of this study indicate that fact-checked climate claims from different countries vary by the aspects of climate change they focus on (e.g., existence, causes, impacts, and solutions), types of claim makers, and levels of accuracy. Furthermore, there are differences in fact-checking practices from the four countries with regard to transparency, accessibility, and the use of corrective sources. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Purpose This study investigates the influence of individual- and country-level factors on citizen members' attitude and actions regarding plastic waste. At the individual level, it assesses the influence of the diversity of environmental news use from traditional media, online social networks, and other internet sources on the public's support for policy and green behaviors related to plastic waste.
Design/methodology/approach We utilized secondary survey data collected from 27 European countries by Eurobarometer.
Results The two-level analysis show that several individual factors including gender, age, political ideology, risk perception, and most importantly diversity of sources in environmental news use, from all three types of media sources, was positively associated with participants' policy support and green behaviors related to plastic waste. This research also found the influence of several country-level variables on green behaviors toward plastic waste.
Implications When assessing support for plastic waste control, various factors at both levels (i.e., country and individual) need to be considered to mobilize the public. Findings suggest extending the theoretical model of social cognitive theory to include more country-level factors especially in cross-national comparison.
Originality/value This study shed lights on understanding factors that could influence public policy support and green behaviors with regards to plastic waste.
AbstractSince the COVID‐19 pandemic started, Asians, particularly those in Chinese communities, have faced increased discrimination and overt racism in addition to the virus itself. In this study, the authors examined social representations of COVID‐19 in mainstream newspapers. We evaluated 451 articles from three major publications representing three countries: China, the United States, and the United Kingdom. A qualitative thematic analysis, conducted through the lens of social representations theory (SRT) and its concept of cognitive polyphasia, revealed four major themes: (a) the virus' portrayal as a threat; (b) the racialization of COVID‐19 as a multi‐faceted threat; (c) calls for collectivization to curb the racialization of the virus; and (d) speculative solutions to end discrimination against Asians. Our results suggest that print media emphasize the idea that global efforts must be made to change how people think about, talk about, and understand the COVID‐19 pandemic.
