这项两波全国小组研究旨在测试“认知中介模型”的因果关系。“数据表明，该模型预测的以下因果关系得到了强有力的支持：（a）监视动机影响信息处理，（B）信息处理影响知识，（c）动机只通过信息处理间接影响知识。然而，额外的分析表明，这些变量在一个简单的单向因果关系模式是不相关的。相反，小组分析发现，这些关系大多是互为因果的。未来的研究应考虑信息处理和知识之间的相互关系，特别是因为它涉及到知识差距假说的研究。
This two-wave national panel study was designed to test the causal claims of the "cognitive mediation model." The data indicate strong support for the following causal relationships predicted by the model: (a) surveillance motivations influence information processing, (b) information processing influences knowledge, and (c) motivations influence knowledge only indirectly through information processing. However, additional analyses demonstrated that these variables are not related in a simple unidirectional causal pattern. Instead, panel analyses found that most of these relationships are mutually causal. Future research should consider the reciprocal nature of relationships between information processing and knowledge, particularly as it relates to the study of the knowledge gap hypothesis.
