PsychometricLLaMA: Training des LLaMA 2-Sprachmodells zur psychometrischen Skalengenerierung (BestMasters)
by Björn Thorben GillesDie rasante Entwicklung generativer Sprachmodelle eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten der psychologischen Skalenentwicklung. Diese prä-registrierte Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz von Sprachmodellen zur automatischen Generierung von Likert-Items, aufbauend auf bisherigen Ansätzen. Ein neuer Datensatz wurde durch eine systematische Literaturrecherche erstellt und mit bestehenden Quellen kombiniert, um das LLaMA 2-Sprachmodell mittels Low-Rank Adaption zu trainieren. Das Modell generiert auf Basis einer Definition psychologische Items mit Anpassungsmöglichkeiten für Schwierigkeit und Kreativität. Zur Überprüfung der psychometrischen Güte wurden Items zu sechs Konstrukten generiert und online mit N = 200 Personen erhoben. Die Ergebnisse zeigten vielversprechende psychometrische Kennwerte: Die meisten Items konnten eine gute interne Konsistenz und hohe Korrelationen mit den Originalskalen aufweisen. Allerdings war die Anpassung der Item-Schwierigkeit nicht erfolgreich. Unterschiede in Antwortverteilung und Interkorrelationen zwischen KI- und Originalskalen wurden festgestellt. Insgesamt leistet diese Arbeit einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur psychologischen Fragebogenkonstruktion durch das Fine-Tuning eines KI-Modells zur Generierung reliabler und valider Items.

Public Branding and Marketing: A Global Viewpoint
by Staci M. ZavattaroThis edited volume details public branding and marketing from a global, comparative perspective. Place branding and marketing practices are now prominent in cities, states, nations, regions, and organizations all over the world. While disciplines such as hospitality management, tourism marketing, and business marketing have made inroads into understanding the intricacies of place branding, research in public administration and policy is still emerging. This volume fills that research gap. Including accounts from both the academic and practitioner communities, this book bridges the academic-practitioner divide and provides a holistic account of branding and marketing in public organizations as well as immediate application and lessons learned. The book takes an explicit public administration approach, focusing on a wide range of topics such as branding leadership, co-creation, stakeholder engagement, education, non-profit marketing and branding, and city administration. The book is divided into four sections. Section I highlights the process of developing and communicating public branding and marketing efforts. Section II focuses specifically on how social media and other digital technologies are used to communicate and evaluate place branding strategies. Section III centers on branding at the local government level. Section IV highlights how various stakeholder groups come together (or not) when participating in strategic branding efforts. Presenting various methodologies, approaches, and implications of place branding and marketing across differing social, cultural, political, and economic conditions, this book will be of use to scholars and students in public. administration, tourism studies, and business administration as well as professionals and practitioners in the public branding and marketing field.

Public Interests: Media Advocacy and Struggles over U.S. Television
by Allison PerlmanNearly as soon as television began to enter American homes in the late 1940s, social activists recognized that it was a powerful tool for shaping the nation's views. By targeting broadcast regulations and laws, both liberal and conservative activist groups have sought to influence what America sees on the small screen. Public Interests describes the impressive battles that these media activists fought and charts how they tried to change the face of American television. Allison Perlman looks behind the scenes to track the strategies employed by several key groups of media reformers, from civil rights organizations like the NAACP to conservative groups like the Parents Television Council. While some of these campaigns were designed to improve the representation of certain marginalized groups in television programming, as Perlman reveals, they all strove for more systemic reforms, from early efforts to create educational channels to more recent attempts to preserve a space for Spanish-language broadcasting. Public Interests fills in a key piece of the history of American social reform movements, revealing pressure groups' deep investments in influencing both television programming and broadcasting policy. Vividly illustrating the resilience, flexibility, and diversity of media activist campaigns from the 1950s onward, the book offers valuable lessons that can be applied to current battles over the airwaves.

Public Opinion and Counter-Terrorism: Security and Politics in the UK (Routledge Critical Terrorism Studies)
by Michael ListerThis book examines the ways in which the views of the public inhabit the counter-terrorism policy space, with a focus on the UK case. Drawing insights from Critical Terrorism Studies, Critical Security Studies and studies of public opinion, the book develops an argument that the relationship between public opinion is complex, iterative and mutually instantiating. Rather than public opinion and counter-terrorism policy existing in a simple, uni-directional causal relationship, the book argues that whilst counter-terrorism policy actors are informed by public opinion, in important ways they also construct that very opinion. This argument is made through an empirical analysis of UK counter-terrorism policy. Drawing on primary research interviews with key counter-terrorism policy actors, and security professionals, as well as original analysis of parliamentary debates, the book demonstrates that rather than UK counter- terrorism politics being closed and elite-driven, there exists a complex, dialectical relationship between public opinion and both the making and the implementing of counter-terrorism policy. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies, counter-terrorism, security studies, British politics and communication studies.

Public Sector Transformation through E-Government: Experiences from Europe and North America (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)
by Christopher G. Reddick Vishanth WeerakkodyOver the last decade governments in Europe and North America have attempted to improve efficiency of public services through Information and Communication Technology, commonly branded as electronic government (e-government). Public Sector Transformation through E-Government explores the influence that e-government has on public sector organizations, the organizational complexities that result, and its impact on citizens and democratic society. This book examines e-government’s potential to transform public services from a theoretical perspective, and provides practical examples from leading public sector institutions that have utilized e-government as a basis to bring about change. It further investigates the relationship between citizens and government and how they are affected by e-government policies and programs. Aimed at students and researchers of public administration/management and information systems, this book serves as a welcome tool for examining and understanding e-government and transformational change.

Public Spheres and Mediated Social Networks in the Western Context and Beyond
by Mark Wheeler Petros IosifidisSocial media is said to radically change the way in which public communication takes place: information diffuses faster and can reach a large number of people, but what makes the process so novel is that online networks can empower people to compete with traditional broadcasters or public figures. This book critically interrogates the contemporary relevance of social networks as a set of economic, cultural and political enterprises and as a public sphere in which a variety of political and socio-cultural demands can be met. It examines policy, regulatory and socio-cultural issues arising from the transformation of communication to a multi-layered sphere of online and social networks. The central theme of the book is to address the following questions: Are online and social networks an unstoppable democratizing and mobilizing force? Is there a need for policy and intervention to ensure the development of comprehensive and inclusive social networking frameworks? Social media are viewed both as a tool that allows citizens to influence policymaking, and as an object of new policies and regulations, such as data retention, privacy and copyright laws, around which citizens are mobilizing.
