本研究调查是否使用社交网络服务（SNS）促进或限制公民的政治分歧的可能性，通过关注两种不同类型的新闻分享活动的SNSs -新闻外化和内化-和个人的政治利益的水平。结果表明，频繁使用社交网络可能会带来更高的机会与异质性的其他人进行互动，但这种影响只是通过其对两个新闻分享活动的影响间接施加。研究结果还表明，政治兴趣和新闻分享活动相互作用，预测网络异质性的程度。这项研究是通过一项全国代表性调查进行的。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This research investigated whether the use of social networking services (SNSs) promotes or restricts the likelihood of citizens' exposure to political disagreement by focusing on two different types of news sharing activities on SNSs - news externalizing and internalizing - and on individuals' level of political interest. The results show that frequent SNS use may entail higher chances of interacting with heterogeneous others, but the influence is only indirectly exerted through its effects on two news sharing activities. Findings also indicate that political interest and news sharing activities interact with each other in predicting the degree of network heterogeneity. The study is conducted with a nationally representative survey. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
