“…Duguay (2016b) analyzed tweets (n = 68,231) generated during Toronto's 2014 WorldPride festival and found that social media enabled users to build global networks of support around the event by creating WorldPride hashtags, utilizing common visuals and raising awareness of LGBTQ+ experience. Another study found that LGBTQ+ Twitter users leveraged "social creativity" in their response to the Pulse shooting by countering threats to their identities by supporting unity in the presence of threat (Jenkins et al, 2019). In particular, the collective LGBTQ+ response on Twitter contributed to "creative identity (re)construction, creative community building, and creative resistance" (Jenkins et al, 2019, p. 14).…”

Social media sites offer critical opportunities for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and other sexual and/or gender minority (LGBTQ+) youth to enhance well-being through exploring their identities, accessing resources, and connecting with peers. Yet extant measures of youth social media use disproportionately focus on the detrimental impacts of online participation, such as overuse and cyberbullying. This study developed a Social Media Benefits Scale (SMBS) through an online survey with a diverse sample ( n = 6,178) of LGBTQ+ youth aged 14–29. Over three-quarters of the sample endorsed non-monosexual and/or and gender fluid identities (e.g., gender non-conforming, non-binary, pansexual, bisexual). Participants specified their five most used social media sites and then indicated whether they derived any of 17 beneficial items (e.g., feeling connected, gaining information) with the potential to enhance well-being from each site. An exploratory factor analysis determined the scale’s factor structure. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Sheffe post hoc tests examined age group differences. A four-factor solution emerged that measures participants’ use of social media for: (1) emotional support and development, (2) general educational purposes, (3) entertainment, and (4) acquiring LGBTQ+-specific information. Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (χ2 = 40,828, p < .0005) and the scale had an alpha of .889. There were age group differences for all four factors ( F = 3.79–75.88, p < .05). Younger adolescents were generally more likely to use social media for beneficial factors than older youth. This article discusses the scale’s development, exploratory properties, and implications for research and professional practice.

“…So, the use of the Bedouin variant indicates a tendency to make a person's Bedouin identity discernable. These social categories function © El Salman Mahmoud & Al Fridan Abdullah as an orienting system for self-reference by providing an individual with a conceptualization of their place in society (Jenkins et al, 2019). The rate of use is 60.0% outside the group and 40.0% inside it.…”

Introduction. This paper is a sociolinguistic study that aims to investigate the speech of two groups in Al-Ahsa (Saudi Arabia) for the purpose of making a comparison between their speech. Methods. This study is empirical in its methods in that it is fully dependent on naturalistic speech. All the interviews, which were conducted in Al-Ahsa were conducted using the face-to-face technique for obtaining data with regard to linguistic variation. In this, the focus is on the Hasawi people and the Bedouins. Results. The study indicates that these two groups manipulate their dialect, in particular the key features of their dialects, to emphasize distinctiveness and negotiate identity. The study shows that while the linguistic behavior of the elderly in both groups is similar both within and outside of the group, the young generations show differences in their speech behavior. Additionally, group identity is very important to them. Outside the group, the possibility of interacting with members of the other group occurs, and, within this context, strong correlations appeared between linguistic factors and social factors, in particular the group identity among young males and gender distinctness among young females in both groups. Young males stereotypically tend to use the local linguistic forms, in particular the forms that are considered "the most salient feature which carries the social meaning of locality (Al-Wer, 1991: 75) and symbolizes local identities. The linguistic behavior of young males in both groups exhibits almost the same trends. Both are proud of the identity of the group to which they belong, particularly in gatherings in which other identities are present. Thus, unlike the two other age groups, the use of the /ts/ by the young Bedouin males and the use of the /EL/ by Hasawi young males increase in these settings rather than inside their own groups. This indicates that displaying one’s group identity is of significance to the young males in each group when a possible interaction takes place. While the use of the /EL/ among young Hasawis inside the group is 55.0%, its use was 70.0% in contexts outside the group and in the presence of other identities. The use of the /ts/ variant inside the group is 40%, while it is 60.0% outside the group. It also shows that the linguistic behavior of the Hisawi elderly is almost identical to the linguistic behavior of the elderly in the Bedouin group. In both groups, age (young, middle-aged or elderly) appears to be significant. Conclusion. The study shows that social competition is primarily expressed in the linguistic forms used. The more this social competition increases, the more unlikely the possibility of giving up one's social dialect becomes. People say much more through an accent than through the semantic content of the speech itself. To conclude, the study shows that social competition is frequently expressed in the linguistic forms used.

“…In welchem Maße die beabsichtigte Wirkung bei den Angehörigen der sozialen Gruppe, der die jeweilige Gewalttat gilt, tatsächlich eintritt, ob das Vertrauen in staatliche Institutionen und Handlungspraxen in Folge einer rechtsterroristischen Gewalttat beeinträchtigt wird (Satherley et al 2021), oder ob sich nach solchen Gewalttaten die Einstellung in der Bevölkerung zu kontroversen politischen Fragen ändert (Jose et al 2021), hängt von zahlreichen Faktoren ab. Hierzu zählen etwa die mediale Rahmung der Gewalttat (Hancock und Haldeman 2017;Walter et al 2017), der Grad der gesellschaftlichen Exklusion und Diskriminierung der sozialen Gruppe, die angegriffen wurde (Stults et al 2017), aber auch die Reaktionen der betroffenen sozialen Gruppe (Jackson 2017;Jenkins et al 2019).…”

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag entwickelt anhand zahlreicher Beispiele rechtsterroristischer Gewalt eine Systematisierung instrumenteller Zielsetzungen rechtsterroristischen Handelns. Dabei ruft er zunächst als zentrale weltanschauliche Referenz den völkischen Nationalismus auf, dem biopolitische Paradigmen inhärent sind, denen mittels rechtsterroristischer Gewalt Geltung verschafft werden soll. Dieses ist für eine Vielzahl rechtsterroristischer Gewalttaten zentral, denen es um die Aufrechterhaltung rassistischer, sexistischer und heteronormativer Gesellschaftsverhältnisse geht. Regelmäßig ist solche Gewalt auch als Botschaftsverbrechen zu verstehen, wobei ganz unterschiedliche Modi der Kommunikation beobachtbar sind. Rechtsterroristische Gewalt – sofern sie nicht parastaatlich verfasst ist – hat nicht die direkte Schwächung der Kampffähigkeit des Gegners zum Ziel, sondern zielt auf Bestrafung, Einschüchterung und Vertreibung ausgewählter sozialer Gruppen und Individuen sowie in manchen Fällen auf das strategische Moment der Zuspitzung gesellschaftlicher Konflikte, wie im abschließenden Teil des Beitrages an zahlreichen Beispielen gezeigt wird.
