Filter Bubbles, Echo Chambers, and Online News Consumption (2016, neutral): “, 2001), due to active selection by individuals of which stories in their feed to read (Garrett, 2009; Iyengar and Hahn, 2009; Munson and Resnick, 2010), or some combination of all three.”

Unspeaking on Facebook? Testing network effects on self-censorship of political expressions in social network sites (2015, background): “On the other hand, exposure to different opinions can alternatively result in users perceiving opinion diversity: The hyper-networked environment may increase the chance of encountering heterogeneous views, which may make users’ attempt for selective attentions less effective (Garrett 2009).”
Assessing Selective Exposure in Experiments: The Implications of Different Methodological Choices (2013, background): “For example, Garrett (2009) has found that although people demonstrate a preference for attitudinally consistent information, they do not necessarily do so by avoiding information that challenges their opinions.”
Influencing Climate Change Attitudes in the United States: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2020, background): “…reasoning tends to focus on directional goals, emphasizing situations where individuals selectively expose themselves to preferred information (Garrett, 2009; W.

A Comparison of Two Theoretical Explanations for Selective Exposure to Partisan News (2020, background): “…2012), many rely on at least one attitude-consistent news source (Stroud, 2008, 2011), and people are more likely to view a news item if the headline suggests attitude-confirming information (Garrett, 2009a; Knobloch-Westerwick & Meng, 2009; Westerwick, Kleinman, & Knobloch-Westerwick, 2013).”
