互联网的飞速发展及其特有的性质,使传播学中的许多传统理论受到质疑,其中就包括“沉默的螺旋”假说。在互联网上,根据传统的实证研究得出的“沉默的螺旋”是否会消失?根据诺依曼“沉默的螺旋”假说的核心概念和基本假定,通过辨析,从“群体压力”、“孤独恐惧感”和“从众心理”等方面能够论证“沉默的螺旋”产生的基本条件在网络空间中仍然存在。由此得出结论,“沉默的螺旋”在网络空间中仍以自己的方式存在着。 The rapid development of the Internet and its peculiar properties have challenged many traditional theories in communication science, including the “spiral of silence” hypothesis. On the Internet, will “silent spiral” come out according to traditional empirical research? Will it disappear? According to Neumann’s “core of silent spiral” hypothesis and its basic assumptions, “, ” Lonely fear “and ” public psychology “and other aspects can be demonstrated ” the spiral of silence “the basic conditions still exist in cyberspace. From this it follows that ”silent spiral " still exists in its own way in cyberspace.
