“…Lastly, our study provides strong evidence that citizens who engage in confrontational and uncivil discussions on social media are also more likely to unfriend, unfollow and hide content-across all three Western democracies, confrontational style was by far the strongest predictor of selective avoidance. While previous research has demonstrated that individuals with such tendencies are more likely to be excluded from group discussions (Ditrich & Sassenberg, 2017), our findings point out to a broader pattern of political animosity and intolerance that emerges from such behaviors. While heated disagreement and even incivility were praised as having potential democratic merits in the Web 1.0 era (Papacharissi, 2004), in the social media environment they are associated with both political content filtering as well as social disconnection and exclusion.…”

“…According to Rainie and Smith (2012), 8 percent of American SNS users have blocked, unfriended, or hidden someone because "they argued about political issues on the site with the user or someone the user knows" (para.10). Ditrich and Sassenberg (2017) reported that Facebook group members who displayed deviant behaviors during group discussion (e.g., verbally attacking people, posting ironic content) were likely to be excluded from the group. A study conducted in Israel shows that mere ideological differences were rarely sufficient to justify unfriending, but that the style of political expression that included vulgar, rude, racist and generally offensive speech often acted as a trigger for disconnection (Schwarz & Shani, 2016).…”

“…For example, Rainie and Smith (2012) reported that about 8% of American social network sites users had cut digital ties with others because of heated political arguments. Facebook group members tend to exclude those who verbally attack others (Ditrich and Sassenberg, 2017). Minority members are likely to have a stronger need for emotional comfort.…”

“…Extensive research demonstrated its role in influencing self-reported measures, especially when the scope of the study involves sensitive issues, and that the assurances of anonymity and confidentiality can only partially counteract this effect [7] . For this reason, past self-report measures of social exclusion intentions, sentiments, or behaviors (e.g., [4 , 6] ) are potentially biased by social desirability, meaning that people could orient their responses in a less excluding way because of social desirability [16] .…”
