Could it be made clearer what the painting has to do with this article? The caption isn't much help. Margalob (talk) 01:03, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

How is it possible that social networking sites, searches, and the Internet in general are not discussed in this article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.153.64.74 (talk) 04:56, August 1, 2011‎


Hello All! My name is Linzi and I attend Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. Over the next few months, I will be editing this page. Please provide any feedback and or comments if you wish. Thank you!


As time progresses I hope to gain enough knowledge based on my research to advance the Selective Exposure Wikipedia page to its fullest. I have already included article summaries in the article's talk page. LinziMLB (talk) 17:08, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

"Theory" really!??

[edit]

As related in the article, I don't get that the "Selective exposure theory" is any theory at all: there's no counterhypothesis, there are no criteria of testability. In my opinion, the article relates to a general model of thinking (IMHO: a slightly flawed one) rather than a theory. I believe there might actually be theories somewhere, but the article describes them that incompletely that the theories are not perceivable. Rursus dixit.

selective exposure coins any bias in exposure to available messages

[edit]

Can somebody translate the second sentence- "selective exposure coins any bias in exposure to available messages...". I guess it is some kind of jargon, but it is meaningless to the average reader. Bhny (talk) 16:00, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. I couldn't access the source to find out what it was supposed to mean. Removing at least makes the article more readable. Bhny (talk) 14:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

[edit]

Hi, since I noticed a group of students is taking care of this page, I wanted to remind you guys that some tools are available to speed up the creation of citation templates: http://reftag.appspot.com/doiweb.py for journals (I usually remove the issn parameter and add a PMC if available) and http://reftag.appspot.com/ for google books.

Ignoring Inconvenient Truths

[edit]

Several articles are describing various ways in which people systematically ignore, avoid, or dismiss readily available facts because they contradict existing beliefs. These articles include:

I would like to see these articles positioned within some structure or framework that describes the common underlying phenomenon and then distinguishes each within that phenomenon.

How might that be done? Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 09:51, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe many of the topics listed above are examples of Group polarization and the articles can benefit by careful cross referencing and integration with the Group polarization article.--Lbeaumont (talk) 23:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
