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.

Democratic Consequences of Incidental Exposure to Political Information: A Meta-Analysis

Andreas Nanz et al.

Summary: In the past two decades, communication research has focused on the effects of incidental exposure (IE) to political information. This meta-analysis found a positive relationship between IE and outcomes such as news use, political knowledge, political participation, expressive engagement, and political discussion. The effects were slightly weaker in longitudinal studies, but the relationship with knowledge was stronger in experiments compared to surveys. The study suggests that IE does matter, but its effects are smaller and more complex than previously believed.

How Does Multi-Platform Social Media Use Lead to Biased News Engagement? Examining the Role of Counter-Attitudinal Incidental Exposure, Cognitive Elaboration, and Network Homogeneity

Jing Guo et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of multi-platform social media use on news engagement on social media. The results show that multi-platform social media use leads to exposure to counter-attitudinal news, which encourages cognitive elaboration on this information and contributes to news engagement. However, the news engagement is biased towards like-minded content and against counter-attitudinal content. The effect of multi-platform social media use on biased news engagement is even stronger when the user's network is more homogeneous.

Political Polarization on the Digital Sphere: A Cross-platform, Over-time Analysis of Interactional, Positional, and Affective Polarization on Social Media

Moran Yarchi et al.

Summary: Political polarization on social media varies significantly across platforms, with Twitter showing expected homophilic interactions, aggravated positional polarization, and pronounced inter-group hostility, while WhatsApp experienced de-polarization over time. Surprisingly, Facebook appeared to be the least homophilic platform in terms of interactions, positions, and emotions expressed.
