False polarization: Cognitive mechanisms and potential solutions

Philip M. Fernbach et al.

Summary: Although political polarization in the United States is real, intense, and increasing, partisans consistently overestimate its magnitude, leading to "false polarization" that inhibits compromise. Research suggests that oversimplification and emotional amplification are cognitive and affective processes contributing to this phenomenon.

Neutral bots probe political bias on social media

Wen Chen et al.

Summary: Despite accusations of political bias, social media platforms show no strong evidence for such bias. However, the content exposure of Twitter users is heavily influenced by the political leaning of their early connections, with conservative accounts more likely to be exposed to low-credibility content.

Partisan Polarization Is the Primary Psychological Motivation behind Political Fake News Sharing on Twitter

Mathias Osmundsen et al.

Summary: The sharing of fake news is motivated by political polarization rather than ignorance or laziness. Those who hate their political opponents are more likely to share fake news in order to attack and derogate them. This study indicates that psychological motivations play a significant role in the spread of fake news on social media.

News Media Use, Talk Networks, and Anti-Elitism across Geographic Location: Evidence from Wisconsin

Chris Wells et al.

Summary: A certain social-political geography recurs across European and North American societies, with widening political and cultural gaps between metropolitan and rural communities. Despite political communication research focusing on national or cross-national levels, geographic place still provides a powerful grounding for individuals' lifeworld experiences, identities, and orientations to political communications and politics. The study on Wisconsin shows significant differences in media consumption, political talk, and anti-elite attitudes between geographic locations, with television news playing a major role across all locations. Residents of metropolitan communities consume more national and international news from prestige sources and have more cleanly sorted talk networks by partisanship. Contrary to stereotypes, residents of small towns and rural areas do not consume more conservative media than other citizens, even without considering partisanship. The theoretical model and empirical results emphasize the importance of considering the intersections of place and politics in understanding news consumption behaviors and the meanings citizens derive from media content.
