Attitudes

33.2K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

39.2K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Polar Coordinates

384
The polar coordinate system offers an alternative to the Cartesian coordinate system for specifying points in a plane, using a distance and an angle instead of x and y coordinates. This system is particularly advantageous in situations involving circular or rotational symmetry, such as in physics or engineering problems involving waves, oscillations, or orbital paths.Defining Polar CoordinatesIn polar coordinates, a point is represented as P(r, ��), where r is the radial distance...

Polarity of the Cytoskeleton01:18

Polarity of the Cytoskeleton

25.3K
The intrinsic polarity of cells can be primarily attributed to two factors- i) the asymmetric accumulation of mobile components such are regulatory molecules and subcellular components across the cell and ii) the orientation of polar cytoskeletal filaments that make up the cytoskeletal networks, specifically microfilaments, and microtubules arranged along the axis of polarity. Interactions between the cytoskeletal filaments are crucial for the establishment and maintenance of the polar nature...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Exposure to diverse news, including opposing viewpoints, did not polarize attitudes on assisted suicide. Even when perceived negatively, mixed news bundles did not directly or indirectly increase attitude polarization in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Political Communication
  • Media Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Attitude polarization poses a threat to democratic societies.
  • The online news environment facilitates exposure to both like-minded and contrary news.
  • Understanding the impact of heterogeneous news exposure is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of exposure to heterogeneous partisan news bundles on attitude polarization.
  • To examine attitude polarization as a direct effect and an indirect effect mediated by hostile media perceptions.
  • To assess these effects concerning the contentious issue of assisted suicide.

Main Methods:

  • A between-subjects experimental design was employed.
  • Participants were exposed to partisan news bundles containing both like-minded and contrary news.
  • Attitude polarization and hostile media perceptions were measured.

Main Results:

  • Exposure to the partisan news bundle had a significant effect on hostile media perceptions.
  • However, both direct and indirect effects of the partisan news bundle on attitude polarization were found to be null.
  • No significant attitude polarization was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Heterogeneous partisan news bundles, even when perceived negatively, do not necessarily lead to attitude polarization.
  • Hostile media perceptions do not mediate the relationship between mixed news exposure and attitude polarization.
  • The study suggests a potential resilience of attitudes against polarization from mixed news exposure.
