Abstract

Es folgt die Zusammenfassung in englischer Sprache following the article short description

Given the high presence of extremist contents on the Internet, this contribution asks where and how frequently young people in Germany are confronted with such contents. A representative survey reveals great differences between young people: whereas many rather seldom notice encounters with extremism (however, while also finding it difficult to recognize it), a small group has frequent contact. Given the problematic attitude pattern of this group, one must fear a calamitous interplay of contents and attitudes which might be supportive for further (cognitive) radicalisation.
