摘要

当代高选择媒体格局为用户提供了相当大的自由度来选择媒体内容。当涉及到关于气候变化等科学问题的媒体信息时，尚不清楚受众是否会被不同类型的情感唤起信息所吸引，以及这些偏好背后的社会心理因素。在这里，我们让年轻人(N = 1493)从三个气候变化视频中选择(“有趣的”，“可怕的”，“信息”)，发现更多的参与者选择有趣的内容，而不是恐怖或信息。与情绪管理理论的假设相反，消极情绪与选择恐怖视频有关。保守主义者更喜欢有趣和恐怖的视频而不是信息视频，但性别认同是选择性暴露的最强预测因素，女性更喜欢有趣和恐怖的视频而不是信息视频。

Choose Your Own Emotion: Predictors of Selective Exposure to Emotion-Inducing Climate Messages

ABSTRACT The contemporary high-choice media landscape offers users considerable latitude to select media content. When it comes to media messaging about science issues like climate change, it is unclear whether audiences gravitate toward different kinds of emotionally evocative messages and what psychosocial factors underlie those preferences. Here, we presented young adults (N = 1,493) with three climate change videos to choose from (“funny,” “scary,” “informational”) and found more participants selected funny content than scary or informational. Contradicting hypotheses derived from mood management theory, negative mood was associated with selecting the scary video. Conservatives preferred the funny and scary video to the informational video, but gender identity was the strongest predictor of selective exposure with women preferring funny and scary videos to informational.

期刊介绍： Environmental Communication is an international, peer-reviewed forum for multidisciplinary research and analysis assessing the many intersections among communication, media, society, and environmental issues. These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of scientific controversies, political developments, policy solutions, institutional change, cultural trends, media portrayals, public opinion and participation, and/or professional decisions. Articles often seek to bridge gaps between theory and practice, and are written in a style that is broadly accessible and engaging.
