这项研究加入了越来越多的研究，证明敌对媒体看法的行为后果。本研究使用具有全国代表性的美国样本的调查数据，测试了一个有调节的中介模型，该模型检验了敌对媒体看法对气候变化激进主义的直接和间接影响。该模型包括作为调解者的外部政治效能和作为调节者的政治意识形态和内部政治效能。结果表明，敌对媒体看法与受政治意识形态制约的气候行动主义有直接联系：在自由派中，敌对媒体看法促进行动主义，而在保守派中，它们减少行动主义。敌对的媒体看法也与通过外部政治效力调节的激进主义存在消极、间接的关系；然而，这种关系受到意识形态和内部政治效力的制约。具体来说，间接效应只在内部效能较低的保守派和温和派中表现出来。讨论了理论、规范和实际意义。
This study joins a growing body of research that demonstrates the behavioral consequences of hostile media perceptions. Using survey data from a nationally representative U.S. sample, this study tests a moderated-mediation model examining the direct and indirect effects of hostile media perceptions on climate change activism. The model includes external political efficacy as a mediator and political ideology and internal political efficacy as moderators. The results show that hostile media perceptions have a direct association with climate activism that is conditioned by political ideology: Among liberals, hostile media perceptions promote activism, whereas among conservatives, they decrease activism. Hostile media perceptions also have a negative, indirect relationship with activism that is mediated through external political efficacy; however, this relationship is conditioned by both ideology and internal political efficacy. Specifically, the indirect effect manifests exclusively among conservatives and moderates who have low internal efficacy. Theoretical, normative, and practical implications are discussed.
