摘要：
This study examines the role of skepticism as a source of news media use and online opinion expression. Data from a national online panel of participants show that skepticism is related to increases in news media use, which in turn positively predicts online opinion expression. Data further indicate that this indirect link between skepticism and online opinion expression via news media use differs by age, such that this indirect link is stronger for younger respondents in the current sample. Implications are discussed for the role of skepticism in producing an engaged citizenry.
