Abstract

This study empirically tested the proposition that diversified media exposure mediates the effect of involvement on hostile media perceptions (HMPs). Informed by social identity theory and the intergroup contact theory, the study examined issue involvement and cognitive involvement as the antecedents of diversified media exposure concerning U.S.-China trade dispute and tested how diversified media exposure affected peoples’ perceptual bias of U.S. media as out-group media. Using the data collected from a sample of 1029 Chinese media users, the structural equation modeling indicated that issue involvement and cognitive involvement both escalated people's diversified media exposure. Out-group media exposure significantly reduced HMP, whereas expanded information seeking boosted HMP. The serial mediation model also reveals that extended discussion and expanded information seeking mediated the relationship between involvement and HMP.

多元化接触可减轻偏见认知：参与度、媒体曝光率以及媒体对中美贸易争端报道的敌意看法

本研究实证检验了多元化媒体接触对媒体敌意认知（HMPs）的中介作用这一命题。在社会认同理论和群体间接触理论的指导下，本研究考察了作为中美贸易争端多元化媒体接触前因的议题卷入和认知卷入，并检验了多元化媒体接触如何影响人们将美国媒体视为外群体媒体的感知偏见。通过对 1029 名中国媒体用户的样本数据进行结构方程建模，结果表明，议题参与和认知参与都会促进人们的多元化媒体接触。社群外媒体接触明显降低了HMP，而扩大的信息搜寻则提高了HMP。串行中介模型还显示，扩展讨论和扩展信息寻求对参与和 HMP 之间的关系起到了中介作用。
