Particularly first-time voters increasingly use social media platforms as news sources. Yet, it is less clear how accessing political information in such a unique social setting affects these cohorts\u2019 decision-making processes during an election campaign, compared to experienced voters. We compare effects of these two groups\u2019 political information exposure on their vote choice certainty during the 2015 Danish national election. We furthermore test how the relation between exposure and certainty can be mediated by active campaign participation. An 11-wave national panel study was conducted, using a smartphone-based assessment of citizens\u2019 ( n\u2009=\u20091108) media exposure and vote choice certainty across the campaign period. Results suggest that first-time voters\u2019 social media exposure is responsible for their increase in certainty as the campaign progresses, while this effect is absent for experienced voters. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444817745017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,8]],"date-time":"2017-12-08T06:53:17Z","timestamp":1512715997000},"page":"3243-3265","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["The uncertain first-time voter: Effects of political media exposure on young citizens\u2019 formation of vote choice in a digital media environment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9131-5283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakob","family":"Ohme","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southern Denmark, Denmark Jakob Ohme"}]},{"given":"Claes H.","family":"de Vreese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Erik","family":"Albaek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southern Denmark, Denmark"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9477.2007.00175.x"},{"key":"bibr2-1461444817745017","volume-title":"Discovering Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata","author":"Acock AC","year":"2013","edition":"1"},{"key":"bibr3-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1354068815605304"},{"key":"bibr4-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2132187"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr5-1461444817745017","first-page":"419","volume":"37","author":"Austin EW","year":"1993","journal-title":"Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media"},{"key":"bibr6-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.44.9.1175"},{"key":"bibr7-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2111269"},{"key":"bibr8-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0894439309334325"},{"key":"bibr9-1461444817745017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0003055402004239"},{"key":"bibr10-1461444817745017","unstructured":"Bhatti Y, Dahlgaard JO, Hansen JH, et al.
