ABSTRACT This study explored how geographical proximity of news stories (local or international news stories) and bodily proximity of news platforms (reading news on a smartphone or desktop computer) affects people’s cognitive and emotional processing of news messages. The results suggested that geographical and bodily proximity interact to affect individuals’ attentional engagement with the news messages. Reading crime news that happens in a distant location on smartphones resulted in greater heart rate deceleration and self-perceived engagement, as compared to reading those stories on desktop computers.

平台和邻近性：受众对台式电脑和智能手机上的犯罪新闻的反应

摘要 本研究探讨了新闻报道（本地或国际新闻报道）的地理邻近性和新闻平台的身体邻近性（在智能手机或台式电脑上阅读新闻）如何影响人们对新闻信息的认知和情感处理。结果表明，地理和身体上的接近会相互作用影响个人对新闻信息的注意力参与。与在台式电脑上阅读这些故事相比，在智能手机上阅读发生在远处的犯罪新闻会导致心率减慢和自我感知参与度更高。
