  abstract  = {Das Ziel dieser Dissertation mit dem Titel „Die Auswirkungen der medialen Internetnutzung auf die Print-Zeitung" war es, herauszufinden, wie sich die Print-Zeitungen durch den Einfluss der Online-Medien ver{\"a}ndern. Als Korpus wurden die lokale Tageszeitung Mainpost, die {\"u}berregionale Tageszeitung S{\"u}ddeutsche Zeitung, sowie die Wochenzeitschrift Spiegel gew{\"a}hlt. In den beiden Zeitr{\"a}umen Juni bis August 1999 und Juni bis August 2009 wurden die Titelthemen der drei Presseerzeugnisse untersucht und miteinander verglichen. Meine These lautete: Durch die Konkurrenz der kostenlosen Online-Medien m{\"u}ssen sich die Print-Medien abgrenzen, um ihre Existenz zu sichern. Das k{\"o}nnen sie am besten durch eine Qualit{\"a}tssteigerung erreichen, denn von einer Online-Zeitung erwarten die Menschen vor allem, schnell informiert zu werden. Sie lesen haupts{\"a}chlich kurze Meldungen - lange Texte werden aufgrund der Lesegewohnheiten bisher noch nicht gerne am PC konsumiert. Die gut recherchierten Hintergrundberichte erhalten sie idealerweise dann in den Print-Medien. Die Lokalzeitungen m{\"u}ssen dar{\"u}ber hinaus ihre Berichterstattung auf das Geschehen vor Ort konzentrieren. Meine Analyse zeigt, dass die Richtung von allen drei Erzeugnissen eingeschlagen wurde, in einigen Punkten besteht allerdings noch Nachholbedarf. Die Doktorarbeit stellt darum nicht nur die Wirklichkeit empirisch dar, sondern gibt den Journalisten auch konkrete Handlungsanweisungen und vermittelt Erkenntnisse {\"u}ber zuk{\"u}nftige Entwicklungen. Eine vergleichbare Arbeit existierte in der deutschen Sprachwissenschaft bislang nicht. Es gibt zwar Untersuchungen zu den Entwicklungen in Online- und Print-Medien, jedoch keine die von dem einen Medium auf das andere schließt. In dem sich außerordentlich schnell entwickelnden Bereich der Online-Medien fehlen vor allem aktuelle Untersuchungen. Eine Forschungsl{\"u}cke gibt es außerdem im Bereich der quantitativen Forschung: Eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung, die auf der Basis empirischer Daten Aufschluss {\"u}ber den Einfluss der neuen Medien hinsichtlich des Sprachgebrauchs gibt, liegt bislang nicht vor. Dieses Forschungsdefizit wurde durch meine Arbeit behoben. Um herauszufinden wie sich die mediale Internetnutzung auf die Print-Medien auswirkt, wurden qualitative und quantitative Analysemethoden miteinander kombiniert. Es wurden allerdings nicht nur die Sprache der Texte analysiert, sondern auch {\"o}konomische und soziologische Gesichtspunkte untersucht. Es handelt sich deshalb um eine interdisziplin{\"a}re Arbeit, die fachlich in der Medienlinguistik angesiedelt ist. Diese junge Disziplin der Linguistik stellt einen Schnittpunkt zwischen Sprach- und Medienwissenschaft dar. Nachdem mir klar wurde, dass ich eine interdisziplin{\"a}re Arbeit verfassen m{\"o}chte, habe ich mich 2009 dazu entschlossen, meine Arbeit im Rahmen der Graduiertenschule f{\"u}r Geisteswissenschaften an der Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg zu verfassen.},

  abstract  = {In the last decade, mobile device ownership has largely increased. In particular, smartphone ownership is constantly rising (A. Smith, 2015; Statista, 2016a), and there is a real hype for luxury brand smartphones (Griffin, 2015). These observations raise the question of which functions smartphones serve in addition to their original purposes of making and receiving calls, searching for information, and organizing. Beyond these obvious functions, studies suggest that smartphones express fashion, lifestyle, and one's economic status (e.g., B{\o}dker et al., 2009; Statista, 2016b; Vanden Abeele, Antheunis, \& Schouten, 2014). Specifically, individuals seem to purchase and use conspicuous luxury brand smartphones to display and enhance status (D. Kim et al., 2014; M{\"u}ller-Lietzkow et al., 2014; Suki, 2013). But how does owning a conspicuous, high-status smartphone contribute to status, and which benefits may these status boosts provide to their owners? From an evolutionary perspective, status carries a lot of advantages, particularly for males; high status grants them priority access to resources and correlates with their mating success (van Vugt \& Tybur, 2016). In this sense, research suggests that men conspicuously display their cell phones to attract mates and to distinguish themselves from rivals (Lycett \& Dunbar, 2000). In a similar vein, evolutionarily informed studies on conspicuous consumption indicate that the purchase and display of conspicuous luxuries (including mobile phones and smartphones) relate to a man's interest in uncommitted sexual relationships and enhance his desirability as a short-term mate (Hennighausen \& Schwab, 2014; Saad, 2013; Sundie et al., 2011). Drawing on these findings, this doctoral dissertation investigated how a man is perceived given that he is an owner of a high-status (vs. nonconspicuous, low-status) smartphone as a romantic partner and male rival. This was done in three experiments. In addition, it was examined how male conspicuous consumption of smartphones interacted with further traits that signal a man's mate quality, namely facial attractiveness (Studies 1 and 2) and social dominance (Study 3). Study 1 revealed that men and women perceived a male owner of a conspicuous smartphone as a less desirable long-term mate and as more inclined toward short-term mating. Study 2 replicated these results and showed that men and women assigned traits that are associated with short-term mating (e.g., low loyalty, interest in flirts, availability of tangible resources) to a male owner of a conspicuous smartphone and perceived him as a stronger male rival and mate poacher, and less as a friend. The results of Study 2 further suggested that specifically more attractive men might benefit from owning a conspicuous smartphone in a short-term mating context and might be hence considered as stronger male rivals. Study 3 partially replicated the findings of Studies 1 and 2 pertaining to the effects of owning a conspicuous smartphone. Study 3 did not show different effects of conspicuous consumption of smartphones on perceptions of a man dependent on the level of his social dominance. To conclude, the findings of this doctoral dissertation suggest that owning a conspicuous, high-status smartphone might not only serve proximate functions (e.g., making and receiving calls, organization) but also ultimate functions, which relate to mating and reproduction. The results indicate that owning a conspicuous smartphone might yield benefits for men in a short-term rather than in a long-term mating context. Furthermore, more attractive men appear to benefit more from owning a conspicuous smartphone than less attractive men. These findings provide further insights into the motivations that underlie men's purchases and displays of conspicuous, high-status smartphones from luxury brands that reach beyond the proximate causes frequently described in media and consumer psychological research. By applying an evolutionary perspective, this doctoral dissertation demonstrates the power and utility of this research paradigm for media psychological research and shows how combining a proximate and ultimate perspective adds to a more profound understanding of smartphone phenomena.},

  abstract  = {The impact of stories in their ability to shape our view on the world has long been a central topic in communication science and media psychology. While reading a book or watching a movie, we are transported into story worlds and we identify with depicted protagonists. Several studies showed that high levels of transportation lead to greater story-consistent beliefs. Similar effects were found for identification. However, much less is known how and in which direction stories could affect the self. Five experimental studies were conducted and summarized in three manuscripts. Manuscript \#1 explored the moderating role of transportation that could shift one's self-perception towards traits of a depicted story character (assimilation) or away from him/her (contrast). Manuscript \#2 focused on downward social comparisons with a protagonist and possible contrast effects on participants' self-perception in relation to others, their motives and behavior. Thereby, the mediating role of transportation and identification were investigated. Finally, upward social comparison with a protagonist and related emotions (e.g., envy) that mediate possible effects on one's self perception and behavioral intentions were investigated in manuscript \#3. This dissertation project contributes to the literature on stories and the self. Consistent with previous work, assimilation effects were found for highly transported recipients. However, stories might also elicit contrast effects on recipients' selves and behavioral intentions that are opposite to a depicted character. Extending prior research, there were evidence that transportation and envy are important process variables explaining assimilation vs. contrast effects.},
