Selective exposure Flashcards
How does selective exposure conntect with mood management
Based on their mood people select what they want to see and what they do not want to see. Therefore they select media that is in line with how they are feeling and what there believes are. If they feel sad they would like to watch something that makes them happy and something that makes them happy is in line with their beliefs.
The link between selective exposure and social comparison
People compare themselves to other people, for example in gaming or social media. They select media on purpose of people they admire and are stimulating the comparison behaviour.
Do tech ques affect user perception and why?
Yes, cues influence the information a person gets and this influences how they see a topic/the world/person and determines what they select in online information to consume (selective exposure)
How does source credibility influence technology cues
It can be a determining factor if the source is reliable when chosing information. Especially when it is about a serious topic. So technology cues are less important because the messenger of the information determines if the information will be selected
What is cognitive dissonance?
People prefer messages in line with what they think in order to avoid discomfort.
