Abstract

Skillful integration of information is essential in decision making; it may be influenced positively by familiarity with information sources or negatively by selective exposure behaviors. Within online discussions we identified associations between familiarity with authors of discussion posts, selective exposure to posts with similar stances, and quality of information integration.
