題名: | Political Expertise and Affect: Effects on News Processing | 作者: | Hsu, Mei-Ling ; Price, Vincent 徐美苓 |

Two hundred six subjects from a major midwestern university were randomly assigned to a positive affect or a negative affect condition to read an article about either a proposed change in the state of Michigan`s student loan program or the proposed deputization of campus police. A thought-listing procedure was employed to analyze subjects` reactions to the articles. In line with expectations, political expertise emerged as an important contributor to analytic processing of the news articles (measured by the generation of total thoughts, issue-relevant thoughts, and arguments). Predicted main effects of affective valence were not observed, but an interaction between expertise and affect was found. Political experts, but not novices, generated more issue-relevant thoughts in the negative affect condition. Implications of these results for political communication research (e.g., campaign effects) are discussed. | 關聯: | Communication Researchvol,20(5),671-695 | 資料類型: | article |
