Since Eveland and Shah (2003) published their seminal study on the impact of social networks on media bias perceptions in the US, little has been researched about the interpersonal antecedents of hostile media perceptions. In this study we address this gap by investigating the role of safe, or like-minded, political discussions on individuals’ likelihood to perceive media as hostile. We use survey data from more than 5,000 individuals in Germany. Our findings reveal that like-minded discussions increase one’s likelihood to perceive media as hostile; yet, only among those more politically engaged and ideologically on the left. The significance and theoretical implications of the results are discussed in the concluding section.

谁的媒体充满敌意？人际讨论对媒体偏见感知的溢出效应

自从 Eveland 和 Shah (2003) 发表了他们关于社交网络对美国媒体偏见认知影响的开创性研究以来，关于敌对媒体认知的人际关系前因的研究很少。在这项研究中，我们通过调查安全的或志同道合的政治讨论对个人将媒体视为敌对的可能性的作用来解决这一差距。我们使用来自德国 5,000 多人的调查数据。我们的研究结果表明，志同道合的讨论会增加人们将媒体视为敌对的可能性；然而，只有在那些政治参与度更高、意识形态上更左翼的人中。结论部分讨论了结果的意义和理论意义。
