Media Depictions of Minority Groups
After more than five decades of research on media depictions and outgroup evaluations, there remains a need for a comprehensive analysis that includes both positive and negative portrayals across a wide range of racial, ethnic, and religious groups. This meta-analysis of 60 studies from 49 articles fills this gap, revealing that negative media depictions of racial and ethnic minorities (k = 56, n = 16,476) lead to unfavorable evaluations of these…
Excessive Scrolling but Attentive News Reading? How Short Video Use and Awareness of Its Negative Impact Shape News Engagement Across Devices
Through a mixed-method approach, this study investigates three interrelated questions pertaining to how short-form video apps affect people’s engagement with news. Results from our lab study utilizing an eye-tracking method (Study 1) did not reveal evidence that people’s heavy use of short video apps is negatively associated with visual attention to news or recall of news; however, Study 1 uncovered that the more people were aware of their heavy …
Fertile ground to problematic views? How dark and mainstream social media relate to conspiracy beliefs and fake news
Sharing of fake news and conspiracy beliefs are prevalent concerns in online spaces, especially in contexts that involve politicized topics and identities. However, it is less clear to what extent social media platforms and users partisan identities are associated with such behavior and beliefs, especially when comparing traditional and non-traditional partisan groups. Using a cross-sectional survey of Alt-Right supporters and non-Alt-Right Democ…
(Fake) news-finds-me
Fake news is a well-recognized problem across most social media platforms and is especially pronounced in far-right networks. This study helps explain fake news-sharing among the far-right with a longitudinal survey of individuals who identify strongly with “Alt-Right” views in the U.S. We assembled theoretical insights on fake news-sharing and social media use for news to hypothesize that reliance on incidental news, in the form of the “news-fin…
Social (media) psychology of the “news-finds-me” perception
Unintended encounters with news on social media can foster a reliance on incidental news exposure and the perception that “news finds me.” Because the “news-finds-me” (NFM) perception has negative consequences for informed and engaged citizenship, explaining it has become a priority in recent years. This two-wave survey of adults in the USA incorporates scholarship on social media habits and social media mindsets for an expanded view of the antec…
Populist views of science
The growth of populist movements in the US necessitates further understanding of how they use social media and evaluate elites. Work on populist attitudes suggests skepticism of elites is not limited to political domains but extends into online and scientific spaces. This study draws on the recently articulated concept of science populism as well as social media usage to examine Alt-Right and institutional partisans’ attitudes toward scientific e…
When falsehood wins? Varied effects of sensational elements on users’ engagement with real and fake posts
How social media use, political identity, and racial resentment affect perceptions of reverse racism in the United States
The Language of Extremism on Social Media
Digital media give the public a voice to discuss or share their thoughts about political and social events. However, these discussions can often include language that contributes to creating toxic or uncivil online environments. Using data from Reddit, we examine the language surrounding three major events in the United States that occurred in 2020 and early 2021 from the comments and posts of 65 communities identified for their focus on extreme …
How Reel Middle Easterners’ Portrayals Cultivate Stereotypical Beliefs and Policy Support
There is limited empirical research examining cultivation theory’s proposition that first-order estimates influence second-order attitudes. In two studies, we examine how Middle Easterners are portrayed on entertainment television and how these portrayals cultivate stereotypical beliefs and policy support. A content analysis in Study 1 finds that nearly half of Middle Eastern characters on entertainment television are portrayed as supporting terr…
Extensions of the proteus effect on intergroup aggression in the real world
Rise UP
There are worldwide concerns about the rise of White nationalism and its implications for intergroup relations in multicultural societies. Social media, in particular, has allowed far-right groups to easily share their perspectives with and influence others in support of their ideologies. Yet, few studies have empirically examined what psychological factors are discussed within this content to motivate collective action. A quantitative content an…
Social Identity Threats
Politicians within the United States and across many Western societies are concerned about the extent to which Muslims are successfully integrating within their countries. The present research examined how interpersonal (discrimination) and mediated (negative news coverage of Muslims) social identity threats dynamically change young Muslim Americans’ strength of identification as American and Muslim, as well as their trust in the U.S. government.…
Helping and hurting others
The Tangram Help/Hurt Task is a laboratory-based measure designed to simultaneously assess helpful and hurtful behavior. Across five studies we provide evidence that further establishes the convergent and discriminant validity of the Tangram Help/Hurt Task. Cross-sectional and meta-analytic evidence finds consistently significant associations between helpful and hurtful scores on the Tangram Task and prosocial and aggressive personality traits. E…
Engaging the CSI effect
Narcissism on the Jersey Shore
Recent research documents an increase in narcissism in the United States. Little research, however, has explored mechanisms that could cause higher narcissism. In 2 studies, we test the hypothesis that exposure to narcissistic reality TV characters is related to greater narcissism for those engaging in experience taking (Kaufman & Libby, 2012). Study 1 is a correlational study showing that greater exposure to narcissistic reality TV while engaged…
