Recent Research on Selective Exposure to Information
TL;DR: New research is described, including the experiments designed to specify those factors most important in influencing informational selectivity: the effects of choice and commitment on selective information seeking, selectivity and refutability of arguments, the amount of available information and its usefulness, the usefulness of decision reversibility, as well as the intensity of dissonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmation bias in sequential information search after preliminary decisions: an expansion of dissonance theoretical research on selective exposure to information.
TL;DR: The authors show that an even stronger preference for supporting information arises if information is presented and processed sequentially instead of simultaneously, and demonstrate that this stronger confirmation bias is due to sequential presentation and not to sequential processing of information.
