ABSTRACT

This paper revisits the issue of partisan selectivity in the era of prevalent false, misleading, and biased information. We surveyed a representative sample of adults living in the United States to investigate the relationships among hyperpartisan news use, partisanship, and cognitive and affective involvement. First, we find that strong partisanship—from both Democrats and Republicans—relates to exposure to both left- and right-leaning hyperpartisan news. Second, exposure to left-leaning hyperpartisan content relates to negative affective involvement, while exposure to right-leaning hyperpartisan news relates to positive affective involvement. Neither left- nor right-leaning hyperpartisan news use relates to cognitive involvement, though traditional news use does. These findings add to the literature on partisan selective exposure and provide new details about the makeup of news audiences and their cognitive and affective involvement with hyperpartisan news.

抽象的

本文回顾了普遍存在的虚假，误导和有偏见的信息时代的党派选择性问题。我们调查了居住在美国的成年人的代表性样本，以调查超党派新闻使用，党派关系以及认知和情感参与之间的关系。首先，我们发现，民主党人和共和党人之间强烈的党派关系与暴露于左倾和右倾的超党派消息有关。其次，暴露于左倾的超党派内容与消极的情感参与有关，而暴露于右倾的超党派新闻与积极的情感参与有关。左倾和右倾的超党派新闻使用均与认知参与无关，尽管传统新闻使用与之相关。
