The psychology of scams: Provoking and committing errors of judgement (2009, background): “Although this tendency is reduced in familiar everyday tasks compared with abstract ones (Wason & Shapiro, 1971), it can readily be detected in social judgements of the same general kind as those involved in falling for scams (see also Fischer et al., 2005; Fischer et al., 2008a,b,c).”
Reflecting on Six Decades of Selective Exposure Research: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities (2008, background): “These studies have suggested that selective exposure congruency effects are strengthened under time restrictions ( Johnston, 1996; Smith, Fabrigar, Powell, & Estrada, 2007), cognitive load (Fischer, Jonas, Frey, & Schulz-Hardt, 2005), limits on the total amount of information that can be selected (F”
Feeling Validated Versus Being Correct:A Meta-Analysis of Selective Exposure to Information (2009, unknown): “Whenever possible, effect sizes were computed according to the conceptually important moderators discussed by the researcher even when this partitioning did not reflect our hypothesized moderators (e.g., unlimited vs. limited choices of information to receive; Fischer et al., 2005).”
Cognitive Dissonance or Credibility? A Comparison of Two Theoretical Explanations for Selective Exposure to Partisan News (2020, background): “…research has examined third variables that impact selective exposure behavior, such as the amount of time people have to search for information (Fischer et al., 2005; Fischer et al., 2008; Kim, 2007), more research is needed to understand the search circumstances under which selective exposure…”
Social and Heuristic Approaches to Credibility Evaluation Online (2010, background): “Moreover, the tendency to be biased toward attitudinally consistent information may be accentuated when gathering information online, where time and motivation restrict users' ability to process and evaluate all the information retrieved in a typical search (Fischer et al., 2005).”
Credibility and trust of information in online environments: The use of cognitive heuristics (2013, background): “Moreover, biases toward attitudinally-consistent information appear to be accentuated when gathering information online, where lack of time and motivation often restrict users’ ability to evaluate all of the information retrieved in a typical search (Fischer et al., 2005).”
Assessing Selective Exposure in Experiments: The Implications of Different Methodological Choices (2013, background): “Scholars have given respondents the option to choose from information about a single political issue (e.g., health politics, see Fischer et al., 2005; gay marriage, social security, or civil liberties, see Garrett, 2009; affirmative action or gun control, see Taber & Lodge, 2006), multiple…”
