摘要
Most studies of news bias judgments and news consumption do not consider the likely emotional responses to news content, and theoretical arguments suggest that approach emotions, like anger, may actually motivate more, not less, news consumption. An experiment found support for hypotheses that bias judgments would positively correlate with anger responses, and anger responses would associate not only with greater criticism of the reporter but also more, rather than less, interest in additional news stories containing both identity-threatening and identity-bolstering content.
