摘要

以前的研究大多忽略了一个事实，即公民可能会因为新闻中广泛报道的一个问题而经历信息过载。特别是在公民直接决定的问题上，从民主主义理论的角度来看，超载和回避是有问题的。本研究通过对瑞士公民投票的三波面板调查，调查了问题层面的信息过载和回避，发现总体层面的信息过载较弱。然而，在广泛的新闻报道期间，公民变得越来越不堪重负，这导致了对问题的新闻的回避，而不是人际讨论。

Too Much Information? A Longitudinal Analysis of Information Overload and Avoidance of Referendum Information Prior to Voting Day.

Previous research has mostly ignored that citizens could experience information overload from a single issue extensively covered in the news. Especially when it comes to issues upon which citizens decide directly in a referendum, overload and avoidance would be problematic from a democracy theory perspective. This study investigates overload and avoidance at the issue level based on a three-wave panel survey on a referendum in Switzerland and finds weak information overload at the aggregate level. However, citizens become increasingly overloaded during the period of extensive news coverage which leads to avoidance of news on the issue but not of interpersonal discussions.
