摘要：

Hypotheses were tested in a secondary data analysis of an experiment on selective exposure to positive and negative news articles about same- and differently aged individuals. A sample of 178 young (18-30 years) and 98 older adults (50-65 years) browsed an online news magazine while reading times were logged by software. Younger individuals (high status, high uncertainty) generally focused their reading on same-aged individuals, with a preference on positive news about this in-group. Older recipients (low-status, low uncertainty) were more likely to select negative news about young individuals than positive news about this out-group and negative news about older individuals. Furthermore, exposure to negative news about younger individuals bolstered older recipients' self-esteem.
