Abstract

В своей классической работе «Выбор народа» группа авторов под руководством Пола Лазарсфельда впервые комплексно исследует влияние масс медиа на электоральное поведение на примере президентской кампании Рузвельта-Уилки 1940 года. На протяжении семи месяцев авторы опрашивают около 3000 респондентов и приходят к выводу, что мнение большинства людей зависит не напрямую от СМИ, а от других членов их первичных групп, которые и являются активными потребителями медиа-продукции. Этих людей авторы назвали прочно вошедшим в научный обиход термином «лидеры мнения».

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
