Structural equation modelling was applied using survey data from 236 young adults to analyse the relationships between attitudes, subjective norms, psychological engagement, political interactions, and resource availability. The findings indicate that attitudes and psychological engagement—comprising political interest, efficacy, and involvement—are the primary drivers of online political participation. In contrast, subjective norms and resource availability have no significant effect, suggesting that online engagement is primarily self-motivated rather than influenced by social expectations or material constraints. Furthermore, political interactions shape subjective norms, but these norms do not significantly impact participation intentions. This study contributes to understanding youth political engagement in digital environments by demonstrating that intrinsic psychological factors outweigh external influences. The findings have practical implications for strategies aimed at increasing youth political participation through social media, emphasising the need to foster political interest and efficacy rather than relying on peer influence or resource provision. By refining existing models of political engagement, this research provides a clearer framework for understanding and enhancing youth participation in democratic processes through digital platforms.NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS)Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management SchoolRUNSantos, Marta Almeida dosNaranjo-Zolotov, MijailLong, Le Anh NguyenAcedo, AlbertAshofteh, AfshinAparicio, Manuela2025-05-21T21:16:22Z2025-04-012025-04-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article15application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/183291eng2610-9182PURE: 111975071https://doi.org/10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-02-05info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-05-26T01:43:02Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/183291Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T07:36:41.310797Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
