ABSTRACT

Building off of literatures in the areas of network heterogeneity, oppositional networks, cross-cutting exposure, incidental information exposure, and trust, we suggested that Facebook networks characterized by inclusion of people different from the self have the potential to facilitate the inflow of diverse and attitudinally-dissonant information, and, as such, have potential for political knowledge obtainment. We further theorized that this relationship would be conditioned on forms of social and institutional trust that serve as important attention- and elaboration-inducing cues. The results generally supported these contentions, indicating that the relationship between maintenance of Facebook networks comprised of people perceived to be different than the self and political knowledge was moderated by social trust, trust in knowledge-producing institutions, and news trust. Subsequent analyses suggested that the moderating effects of news trust on the relationship between ego- network difference and p olitical knowledge may be further conditioned on political ideology.

在Facebook,信任和政治知识上暴露差异

摘要

建立在网络异质性,对立网络,跨领域曝光,偶然信息曝光和信任方面的文献基础上,我们建议以包容与自我不同的人为特征的Facebook网络有可能促进多元化和多元化的流入。态度不统一的信息,因此具有获取政治知识的潜力。我们进一步推论,这种关系将以社会和机构信任的形式为条件,而这种信任是引起关注和精心设计的重要线索。结果大体上支持了这些论点,表明维持社交网络(由认为自己与自我不同的人们组成的Facebook网络)与政治知识之间的关系得以缓和,对知识产生机构的信任,以及对新闻的信任。随后的分析表明,新闻信任对自我网络差异与政治知识之间关系的调节作用可能进一步取决于政治意识形态。
