Abstract

In 203 (mean age = 38.04 years, SD=12.05) participants, we tested the association between valenced news and affect using a 14-day, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment protocol consisting of two components: 1) a once-per-day experimental protocol in which participants were exposed to good news and bad news stories and 2) a four-times-per-day protocol capturing ecological fluctuations in news consumption. Across both protocols, we replicate findings that consumption of positively valenced news is associated with increased positive affect and decreased negative affect while consumption of negatively valenced news is associated with increased negative affect and decreased positive affect. By integrating the ecological momentary assessment data with network science methodologies, news selection and news effects were modeled simultaneously, uncovering selection processes whereby current positive affect, but not negative affect, predicted future valenced news consumption. Altogether, findings indicate that everyday news consumption influences positive and negative affect and may serve mood management functions for positive but not negative affect.

有价值的新闻与日常生活中情感的关联:实验和生态瞬时评估方法

在 203 名参与者（平均年龄 = 38.04 岁，SD=12.05）中，我们使用为期 14 天、基于智能手机的生态瞬间评估方案测试了有价值新闻与情感之间的关联，该方案由两部分组成：1）每天一次的实验方案，让参与者接触好消息和坏消息；2）每天四次的方案，捕捉新闻消费的生态波动。在这两个实验方案中，我们都重复了实验结果，即正面新闻的消费与正面情绪的增加和负面情绪的减少相关，而负面新闻的消费与负面情绪的增加和正面情绪的减少相关。通过将生态瞬时评估数据与网络科学方法相结合，我们同时对新闻选择和新闻效应进行了建模，发现了当前积极情绪（而非消极情绪）预测未来有价值新闻消费的选择过程。总之，研究结果表明，日常新闻消费会影响积极和消极情绪，并可能对积极情绪而非消极情绪起到情绪管理的作用。

期刊介绍： Media Psychology is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to publishing theoretically-oriented empirical research that is at the intersection of psychology and media communication. These topics include media uses, processes, and effects. Such research is already well represented in mainstream journals in psychology and communication, but its publication is dispersed across many sources. Therefore, scholars working on common issues and problems in various disciplines often cannot fully utilize the contributions of kindred spirits in cognate disciplines.
