Cosmopoliteness in the Internet Age
本文梳理了全球视野性概念的历史并识别出八个维度，通过两项调查发现大多数互联网使用行为与全球视野性正相关，但电子邮件和DVD观看等媒介应用除外。
The concept of cosmopoliteness previously has been associated with the diffusion of innovations. Previous research suggests that cosmopolites are earlier adopters of innovations (e.g., new media technologies) and that they use more diverse media sources. This paper details the history of the concept and identifies eight dimensions. Two surveys were employed to investigate the relationship between the concept of cosmopoliteness and new media technology usage. The results indicate that most Internet use behaviors are positively associated with cosmopoliteness. However, this pattern was not found for other media applications such as e-mail and watching DVDs. Implications of study findings are discussed.
