Question

Mike was watching the baseball game between Yankees and Red Sox on ESPN. During the game, he frequently changed channels to avoid any commercials. This is an example of __ A) Selective retention B) Selective distortion C) Subliminal perception D) Selective exposure E) Selective comprehension

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

In simple words, selective exposure refers to the phenomenon under which an individual deliberately favors an information which he or she may like and be partial towards.

Under such a mechanism the individual distance itself from the data which he she or not like and presumes that it of no use to their objectives or goals. Thus, from the above we can conclude that the above case depicts selective exposure.
