Abstract
Political news uses conflict frames to illustrate the attacks and noncompromising among political camps. Informed by psychological reactance theory, the study implemented a population-based online survey experiment in Hong Kong (n = 1020) to investigate the political consequences of news sources and message features featuring local political conflicts on social media. Results found news with a consensus frame would trigger reactance as well as attitude polarization and restoration intentions, which was moderated by affective polarization.
