Thumbs Up for Refugees?: Influences of Online News Content and (Dis)Likes on Self-Reported Perceptions.
An extensive body of research on social validation indicates that people feel strengthened in their views and opinions when others agree with them. Notions of the extent of others' (dis)agreement can stem from conversations or other forms of interpersonal communication, but also from what one reads in the newspaper. The proportion of news items that is consumed online continues to grow steadily. This occurs mainly on news websites and via mobile phone apps of traditional newspapers. In addition, social network companies such as Facebook have recently been exploring the possibilities to provide news articles to users. One characteristic of such online news articles is that readers are allowed to react to the news content, for instance by liking or disliking a news item. Relatively little studies have examined these recent developments and their influences on people’s opinions concerning those hot topics that predominate the news. The current experiment investigated the effects of online news content and (dis)likes on perceptions of refugees among 375 visitors of Science Museum NEMO Amsterdam. Results revealed that participants’ online reactions were particularly influenced by the amount of dislikes displayed below an online news article. That is, participants who were presented with more dislikes than likes below the article were more likely to click the dislike button themselves – compared to participants who saw more likes or who did not see any information on (dis)likes. Interestingly, this effect occurred regardless of whether they read about positive or negative responses towards refugees. Additional findings and implications are discussed
