“…Fourth, we measured IE by asking participants to report how often they come across climate-related content on social media. Although this measure has been used in existing research examining IE (e.g., Barnidge, 2023; Broussard et al, 2021), it does not explicitly mention the incidental nature of the exposure. Hence, we cannot completely rule out that participants came across climate-related content as a consequence of more deliberate information seeking behavior.…”

“…To measure how often participants encounter or come across climate information on social media, they were asked the following question: “How often do you come across climate related information on [Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat]?” The question wording was identical to that used by recent research on IE (e.g., Barnidge, 2023; Broussard et al, 2021). For each social media platform, answers were scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ([almost] Never) to 5 ([almost] Every day).…”

This study examined whether incidental exposure (IE) to climate content on social media can foster online climate change engagement among mid-to-late adolescents, using two-wave panel data ( Nw1 & w2 = 574) gathered among Flemish adolescents (14–19). Structural equation analyses indicated that online climate change engagement positively predicted IE 4 months later, but not vice versa. IE did not significantly relate to online engagement 4 months later, irrespective of level of climate interest. However, we observed an antecedent role for climate interest; Higher climate interest was reflected in more online climate change engagement. Moreover, IE translated into higher levels of online climate change engagement among adolescents reporting high levels of injunctive peer norms. These findings suggest that social media are reinforcing rather than equalizing gaps in online climate change engagement and demonstrate how dispositional and social factors interact in shaping adolescents’ incidental social media exposure and online engagement.

A national survey of 314 Americans was utilized to determine the degree in which sport identification functions similarly to political and religious identification as well as the degree to which each of the three forms of tribalism correlate with violent extremism and violent radicalization. Results found that sport identification correlated with extremism but not radicalization, political identification correlated with both, and religious identification correlated with neither. Moreover, each type of identification positively correlated with the other, and subgroups within each form of identification functioned similarly. Ramifications for social identity theory are advanced, arguing that whether one identifies with these groups appears more pertinent than which group identifies within that identity association regarding propensity for violent extremism and radicalization. Avenues for future research are advanced.
