• Confirmation Bias and the Persistence of Misinformation on Climate Change (2021, methodology): “In addition, informed by prior psychology/attitude research (e.g., Brannon et al., 2007; Tormala & Rucker, 2007), the study also examines attitude certainty as a potential moderator of attitude polarization, which sheds light on strategies to mitigate the influence of misinformation.”
• Cognitive Dissonance or Credibility? A Comparison of Two Theoretical Explanations for Selective Exposure to Partisan News (2020, background): “In other words, past studies have not measured whether individuals actually feel dissonance when exposed to a counter-attitudinal message (e.g., Brannon et al., 2007; Garrett, 2009a, 2009b; Iyengar & Hahn, 2009; Jonas et al., 2001; Knobloch-Westerwick & Meng, 2009).”
