对于是否更频繁地使用社交网站来促进跨领域或志同道合的讨论，仍然存在分歧。我们研究了使用SNS和参与讨论与政治上相似和不同的人之间的关系，美国民主党人和共和党人的样本。情感极化与参与跨领域讨论呈负相关，这表明个人在其在线社交网络内将其对反对政党的厌恶扩展到党外成员。此外，与朋友就战略导航系统进行的政治讨论在参与跨领域和志同道合的讨论方面发挥了调解作用。最后，党的身份温和SNS的使用和参与跨领域的讨论之间的关系，表明共和党人比民主党人更频繁地参与跨领域的交流SNS。根据这些研究结果，我们讨论了SNS的协商民主的理想的贡献。
Disagreement persists as to whether social networking sites (SNSs) are used more frequently to facilitate cross-cutting or like-minded discussions. We examine the relationship between the use of SNSs and involvement in discussions with politically similar and dissimilar others among a sample of US Democrats and Republicans. Affective polarization is negatively related to involvement in cross-cutting discussions, suggesting that individuals extend their dislike of the opposing political party to out-party members within their online social networks. Moreover, political discussion with one’s friends on SNSs plays a mediating role in involvement in both cross-cutting and like-minded discussions. Finally, party identification moderates the relationship between SNS use and involvement in cross-cutting discussions, indicating that Republicans participate more frequently than Democrats in cross-cutting exchanges on SNSs. In the light of these findings, we discuss the contribution of SNSs to the ideals of deliberative democracy.
