This article attempts to (a) investigate the relationship between distinct emotional reactions toward political information and attention toward political news and (b) analyze whether this relationship is dynamic. We use an experience sampling design to assess recipients’ immediate emotional reactions and attention toward news. Participants reported their emotional reactions (anger, fear, happiness, contentment) and attentional focus directly after following a news item for eight days in a row up to five times a day via smartphone. Results indicate that anger is positively and fear negatively correlated with attention toward political news. For positive emotional reactions, happiness is not correlated with attention to news, while contentment is negatively correlated with attention and also shows a negative lagged effect on attention at a later point in time. The study shows promising ways to assess and analyze dynamic processes in everyday media consumption.

时间只有一刻？通过移动体验抽样调查情绪与政治信息关注度的动态关系

本文试图（a）研究对政治信息的不同情感反应与对政治新闻的关注之间的关系，以及（b）分析这种关系是否是动态的。我们使用经验抽样设计来评估收件人的即时情绪反应和对新闻的关注。参与者连续八天跟踪新闻项，每天最多通过智能手机访问五次后，直接报告了他们的情绪反应（愤怒，恐惧，幸福，满足）和注意力集中。结果表明，愤怒与对政治新闻的关注呈负相关。对于积极的情绪反应，幸福与对新闻的关注无关，而知足与注意力呈负相关，在以后的某个时间点也表现出对注意力的负面滞后效应。这项研究显示了评估和分析日常媒体消费动态过程的有前途的方法。
