客观的。本文确定拉丁美洲人使用西班牙语媒体是否会影响公众对各种政策问题和群体意识的舆论。
方法。利用 2004 年针对美国拉丁裔的全国民意调查，进行了一项多变量分析，以确定语言媒体偏好对移民政策、堕胎、同性婚姻和三项群体意识衡量标准的影响。
结果。我发现更频繁地使用西班牙语媒体会导致对移民的态度更加自由，但对堕胎和同性婚姻的看法没有影响。我还发现西班牙语媒体使用的增加会导致群体意识水平的提高。
结论。态度的差异是由于西班牙语和英语媒体的目标不同造成的。使用西班牙语媒体的效果有助于通过加强拉丁美洲的根基和不同民族血统的拉丁美洲人之间的共性来促进拉丁美洲人的群体意识。
Objective. This article determines if the use of Spanish-language media among Latinos influences public opinion on various policy issues and group consciousness.
Methods. Using a 2004 national public opinion survey of U.S. Latinos, a multivariate analysis is run to determine the effect of language media preference on immigration policy, abortion, same-sex marriage, and three measures of group consciousness.
Results. I find more frequent use of Spanish-language media leads to more liberal attitudes toward immigration, but has no effect on opinions toward abortion and same-sex marriage. I also find increased use of Spanish-language media leads to increased levels of group consciousness.
Conclusions. The differences in attitudes are due to the diverging goals of Spanish-language and English-language media. The effect of using Spanish-language media serves to promote a sense of group consciousness among Latinos by reinforcing roots in Latin America and the commonalities among Latinos of varying national origin.
