Goals
The JIM study is designed as a basic study with the aim of
to cover the entire range of media use by 12 to 19 year olds in Germany. In accordance with the very broad interest in knowledge, it is in the nature of things that not all currently relevant aspects of dealing with the media can be dealt with in depth. Nevertheless, current aspects are taken up every year in the study in addition to the recording of the continuous basic data. Social interaction in online media and in social media offers has become an issue for society as a whole. The topic of hatred on the Internet is the order of the day and campaigns and initiatives for respectful use of the Internet are becoming more prominent. Last but not least, growing populism and the highly polarized discussion of political topics on the Internet led to a great deal of attention from politicians and the public to etiquette and discussion culture on the Internet. In the JIM study 2019, the confrontation with hate messages and disinformation as well as the use of YouTube and Instagram were therefore considered in more detail.
