Resumo: This study aims to investigate how contextual factors can affect the socio-psychological processes specified by the Spiral of Silence theory, such as the fear of isolation and opinion congruency. The contexts for this research were divided into online environments—social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Orkut), chat rooms, and online discussion forums—and face-to-face communication. Data were obtained through an online survey about civil union between same-sex couples. Based on 226 completed forms, the data collected were then subject to statistical treatment to test our hypotheses. The analysis of the data revealed that expression of opinion, in association with socio-psychological factors that operate in the spiral of silence, is linked to a set of factors related to the specific characteristics of each environment in which the opinion is expressed. Thus, the communication configuration affects individuals’ willingness to express their views, so the spiral of silence occurs differently in each context.

Os contextos para este artigo foram divididos em ambientes on-line – sites de redes sociais, salas de bate-papo e fóruns de discussão on-line – e comunicação face a face. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da aplicação de questionários on-line sobre a opinião a respeito da união civil entre pessoas do mesmo sexo. Com um total de 226 formulários preenchidos, os dados coletados receberam tratamento estatístico para a realização do teste das hipóteses. A análise dos dados demonstrou que a expressão da opinião está ligada a fatores que se relacionam com as características específicas de cada meio/ambiente em que a opinião é expressa, em conjunto com os fatores sociopsicológicos que operam na espiral do silêncio. Ou seja, a configuração da comunicação afeta o desejo dos indivíduos em expressar seus pontos de vista, fazendo com que a espiral do silêncio aconteça de forma diferente em cada contexto específico.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2019-09-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionExploratory researchPesquisa exploratóriaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8656611Opinião Pública; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2019): maio/ago.; 258-286Opinião Pública; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2019): maio/ago.; 258-286Opinião Pública; v. 25 n. 2 (2019): maio/ago.; 258-2861807-0191reponame:Opinião Pública (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8656611/21288Brazil; 2019Brasil; 2019Matos, Junia Cristina Ortizinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-09-12T17:02:44Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8656611Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/opPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/oaicesop@unicamp.br||racael@unicamp.br || rop@unicamp.br1807-01910104-6276opendoar:2019-09-12T17:02:44Opinião Pública (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
