Based on original research involving in-depth conversations with 85 participants around the UK, it asks people about their own understanding of their online engagement, focusing on major UK political events and related debates ?the Scottish Independence Referendum, the EU Referendum and the UK Labour Party leadership contests. It shows how people?s experiences are varied and influenced by many factors, but with a focus on personal feelings, needs and concerns as much as wider political ones. Participants struggle with self-awareness and understanding the motives and actions of others, which has an impact on their behaviour and perceived efficacy. They can have profound emotional responses owing to the constraints of using social media but still value it as a medium for political learning and self-expression. Communication effects in this environment are complex and unpredictable ? there is much ?crosstalk?. Social media itself is proving to be an unprecedented learning environment, where people begin to better understand their own behaviour and that of others and adapt over time. Elizabeth Anne Bailey completed her PhD at the University of Bedfordshire, UK. Before this, she worked for more than two decades in the UK Civil Service where she specialised in public communications strategy and management, managing major national communications campaigns. She currently works in local government and is a political campaigns ambassador for a large national charity. 410 0$aPolitical Campaigning and Communication,$x2662-5903 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aCommunication in politics 606 $aSocial media 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPolitical Communication 606 $aSocial Media 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 615 0$aSocial media. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 615 24$aSocial Media. 676 $a371.37 676 $a323.0420941 700 $aBailey$b Elizabeth Anne$01229700 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482974003321 996 $aPolitical participation on social media$92854465 997 $aUNINA
