Putting forth the notion that high-choice information environments may contribute to increasing misperceptions and knowledge resistance rather than greater public knowledge, the book offers insights into the processes that influence the supply of misinformation and factors influencing how and why people expose themselves to and process information that may support or contradict their beliefs and attitudes. A team of authors from across a range of disciplines address the phenomena of knowledge resistance and its causes and consequences at the macro- as well as the micro-level. The chapters take a philosophical look at the notion of knowledge resistance, before moving on to discuss issues such as misinformation and fake news, psychological mechanisms such as motivated reasoning in processes of selective exposure and attention, how people respond to evidence and fact-checking, the role of political partisanship, political polarization over factual beliefs, and how knowledge resistance might be counteracted. This book will have a broad appeal to scholars and students interested in knowledge resistance, primarily within philosophy, psychology, media and communication, and political science, as well as journalists and policymakers.Routledge studies in media, communication, and politicsFake newsSkepticismPolitical cultureaffective polarizationanti-vaxxattitudesattitude-consistent informationattitude-discrepant Informationbeliefs attitudes knowledgebiased information processingcitizens as co-producers of informationcitizens as disseminators of informationcitizens as media consumerscitizen knowledge motivated reasoning fact-checkingclimate changeclimate change denialcognitioncognitive abilitycognitive dissonance knowledge resistancecognitive dissonance political polarizationcommunicationcommunication knowledge resistanceconfirmation bias knowledge resistanceconfirmation bias political polarizationconspiraciesconspiracy theoriesconspiracy theoristscontemporary high-choice media environmentscontradictory informationcounteracting knowledge resistancecredibility perceptions knowledge resistancedeath of expertisedenying expert authorityFake news.Skepticism.Political culture.303.4833Strömbäck JesperNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910586637803321Knowledge resistance in high-choice information environments3668728UNINA
