Bu araştırma esnasında, spiral sessizlik teorisi altında fikir iklimi, yani bireylerin bu durumdaki görüşlerini inceleme teorisi, ayrıca izole olma korkusu, referans gruplarının oynadığı rol ve bu partilerin bireylerin fikrini söyleme üzerinde olduğu etkilerine bakmaktadır. Mevcut araştırma nitelik teorisini uygulamayı seçmiştir. Veriler, 100 katılılmcının anket çalışmasında yer alarak araştırmaya cevap ve görüş bildirerek toplanmıştır. Doğru statistiki bilgi edinebilmek için anket sonuçları bilgisayar ortamında analiz edilmişlerdir. Sonuçlar, bireylerin Libya’daki federalizm hakkındaki görüş ve fikirlerinin sınırsal bağlantılar, medyada çıkan haberler ve referans gruplarının olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu faktörler Libya halkının görüşlerini belirtmelerinde etken olduğunu göstermiştir. |
