A longitudinal study of the bidirectional causal relationships between online political participation and offline collective action

作者：

Highlights：

• The bidirectional causal longitudinal link between online political participation and offline collective action was explored.

• Four theoretical causal hypotheses were systematically analyzed using longitudinal cross-lagged modelling Panel data collected from Chilean university students and the nationally representative sample of Chilean adults were used.

• Results show that pursued past offline collective action can mobilize further durable online political participation.

• The reverse path from online political participation to offline collective action was consistently non-significant.
