Abstract

ABSTRACT Focusing on maps, a common technique for conveying climate change information, this study uses an experiment (N = 423) to test how the type (static vs. animated) and repeated exposure (one vs. two) of visualizations impact biased perceptions. Presented with a pro-climate change regulations news article, participants who read the version with animated visualizations perceived the story to be more biased than those who were presented with static images. Further, a perceived advocacy motive mediated the triggering of an animated visualization to arouse more biased perceptions in favor of climate regulations. The implications for democratic ideals are discussed.

传播气候变化：动画数据可视化对新闻动机和媒体偏见的影响

本研究聚焦于地图这一传达气候变化信息的常用技术，采用实验(N = 423)来测试可视化的类型(静态vs.动画)和重复暴露(1 vs. 2)如何影响偏见认知。在看到一篇支持气候变化法规的新闻文章时，阅读带有动画视觉化版本的参与者比那些阅读静态图像的参与者更有偏见。此外，感知到的倡导动机介导了动画可视化的触发，以引起更多偏向气候法规的看法。讨论了民主理想的含义。
