In addition, the role of the socio-cognitive and cultural underpinnings of digitalizationrelated phenomena is rarely considered. Hence, the role of digital media use in social and cultural transformation is far from being fully described or adequately understood. Given all this, the main aim of the project is threefold: to investigate how digital media creates conditions for cultural and societal change from a traditionally networked society to a patchworked society, i.e., moving parts of society from more open, permeable, flexible networks, to more closed, bounded, rigid “little boxes” (or “patches”), (2) to discover why this occurs, with a focus on cultural factors, and the socio-cognitive processes of individuals, and (3) to determine what the societal consequences of these processes are. Specifically, by applying the 3N (need, narrative, network) theoretical framework, the project will systematically examine the role of digital media in social and cultural transformations driven by the dynamics between processes of social influence (via digital media use), socio-psychological processes 3 (motivational and cognitive biases of digital users, i.e., as passive recipients, and in turn, as actors), and cultural processes (values, identities, religious and ideological differences). Moreover, it aims to explore the extent to which such transformations entail risks to social cohesion, in digital and ecological settings (e.g., the rise of social conflicts), by decreasing the power of communities and the State to create shared norms, culture, and ultimately cultivate effective social coordination.For further information please contact Prof. Małgorzata Kossowska, email address: .Work Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute Jagiellonian University, Institute of Psychology Country Poland State/Province Malopolska City Krakow Postal Code 30-060 Street Ingardena 6 GeofieldContact State/Provincemalopolska CityKrakow WebsiteStreetIngardena 6 Postal Code30-060STATUS: EXPIREDShare this page
