Some of that selective exposure is probably (15) the psychological pressure you feel to avoid the discomfort caused by confrontation with facts and ideas contrary to your beliefs, attitudes, or behavior. However, some selective exposure is not due to the pressure for consistency but to other factors, such as your age, education, and even the area in which you live and the people with whom you associate.

These contexts are as much as a (17) part of the message you will (18) as film image on the screen or words on the page. In addition, that social context affects-both directly and indirectly-the media (19) to which you become exposed. New friends or colleagues get you interested in different things. Other members of the family often select media content (20) you would not have selected, and you become exposed to it. These various factors have so much influence on your media exposure that so little of that exposure is planned.AIn additionBOf courseCYetDAlready 8.Most Americans spend far more of their leisure time on the mass media than people in any other countries.
