摘要:Existing literature indicates that political efficacy, discussion, and expression are contributing factors in increasing political participation of youth through social media. However, recent literature has not been systematically reviewed. Based on a systematic literature review, this paper aims to synthesize the available evidence on the impact of these political activities on youth political participation through social media. Scopus and Science Direct databases were searched, and finally, 10 articles were critically evaluated. The results suggest that there is a relationship between political efficacy, discussion, and expression through social media on the political participation of youth. However, some studies showed that there is no relationship between online political expression and self-political efficacy. Social media plays a significant role in facilitating dynamic political behaviors. In conclusion, various determining effects on youth political participation through social media were detected. This paper provides a comprehensive knowledge of the variables that leads to a deeper understanding of methodological connections, literature gaps, and recommendations for future studies.
