Just a Glance, or More? Pathways from Counter-Attitudinal Incidental Exposure to Attitude (De)Polarization Through Response Behaviors and Cognitive Elaboration

Hsuan-Ting Chen et al.

Summary: This study uses two-wave U.S. panel survey data to propose a moderated serial mediation model to examine the impact of incidental exposure to counter-attitudinal information on social media. The findings suggest that exposure can polarize attitude indirectly through passive scanning behaviors, but it can also attenuate attitude polarization through active engagement and cognitive elaboration, depending on individuals' instrumental motivation levels.
