The corrective action hypothesis predicts that people will take political action in response to media content they perceive to be biased against them, and evidence has accumulated in favor of it. However, research has not yet investigated the hypothesis in comparative context. This study fills that gap in the literature, relying on the Comparative National Election Project (N = 23,527), and analyzing data from 17 countries. Results show evidence of an overall positive relationship between perceived media bias and political action, and they also show evidence that this relationship varies in strength between countries. Moreover, press freedom partially explains this variation. Results are discussed in light of the theory of corrective action and recent trends in political participation worldwide.

比较纠正措施：17 个国家的感知媒体偏见和政治行动

纠正行动假设预测人们会针对他们认为对他们有偏见的媒体内容采取政治行动，并且已经积累了支持它的证据。然而，研究尚未在比较背景下研究该假设。本研究依靠比较全国选举项目 (N = 23,527) 并分析了 17 个国家/地区的数据，填补了文献中的这一空白。结果表明，感知到的媒体偏见与政治行动之间存在总体正相关关系，并且还表明这种关系在不同国家之间的强度存在差异。此外，新闻自由部分解释了这种变化。根据纠正行动理论和全球政治参与的最新趋势讨论结果。
