“…Second, people with low levels of conscientiousness prefer to read and spread fake news, putting pressure on the social order (Lawson & Kakkar, 2022). Highly conscientiousness people tend to participate in politics and vote after reading political news (Martin & Sharma, 2022). However, the results of the present research show that conscientiousness is not correlated with selective exposure to political news, reflecting the particularity of the Chinese context.…”

In the era of media convergence, Internet users’ levels of access to current political information are diverse. Based on selective exposure theory, this study employed K-means clustering and multinomial logistic regression and 2017 Chinese National Survey Data Archive data to study the correlation between the Big Five personality traits and political information exposure. The results showed that Internet users can be divided into three types, according to the frequency of their access: comprehensive, domestic modern, and apathetic. Netizens with high extroversion were correlated with regular browsing of current political information from comprehensive accesses. Those with high agreeableness were correlated with a preference for current political information as relayed by domestic modern media. Those with high levels of neuroticism were correlated with paying little attention to current political information.

“…Individuals’ “newsjunkie” characteristic, their intrinsic need for orientation (INFO), have been found to be associated with political attitudes (see Martin and Sharma, 2022). Another study (Martin and Sharma, 2023) also found that newsjunkies consume more news about foreign affairs than non-newsjunkies do, another reason we control for INFO.…”

Countries in the Middle East go to considerable lengths using mass media to try to maintain or improve their images among the U.S. public. The same countries often engage in negative media campaigns in the U.S. against each other, attempting to bring down public support for regional rivals. This study examined diplomatic evaluations of five Middle East countries—rating Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine, Qatar, and UAE as an ally, neutral, or enemy of the U.S.—among a large, representative sample of U.S. adults ( N = 2059), and assessed measures of news use, social media use, political partisanship, and demographic variables as predictors of the evaluations. News use and other media use predicted little variance in diplomatic ratings; the strongest predictors of positive ratings of a given country were having rated one or more of the other countries positively also—what we term a “regional halo effect.” A key implication of this study is that attempting to harm public perceptions of a regional rival may be self-defeating for a given country, as negative attitudes toward the former country are associated with poor attitudes toward the latter.

La Teoría de Usos y Gratificaciones es una de las más fértiles en el campo de la investigación en Comunicación. Desde su nacimiento, en los años 40, ha evolucionado e incorporado nuevas variables a partir de aplicaciones en diversos medios, sobre todo medios sociales, y contextos demográficos. Este artículo, a partir de una revisión sistematizada de 88 trabajos publicados en las bases de datos de referencia, describe los objetos de estudio, las metodologías y las formas de aplicación de esta teoría en los años 2020-2022. Los resultados demuestran sus diversas formas de aplicación al tiempo que señalan su vigencia como marco teórico útil desde el cual se exploran y reportan las motivaciones y necesidades de las personas para usar diversos medios, así como los efectos percibidos. En particular, la población recurrente en los estudios son los jóvenes, en correspondencia con los medios sociales y plataformas sobre las cuales se investiga. Así mismo, la encuesta es la técnica mayoritariamente usada. No obstante, se advierte que la mayoría de las veces, los autores apenas mencionan la Teoría de Usos y Gratificaciones sin proponer un desarrollo conceptual o metodológico pertinente que permita discutir sus limitaciones, profundizar sus alcances y actualizar sus posibilidades.
