SummaryA lab study with 68 participants used eye tracking to examine how topic-dependent linguistic properties shape reading behavior in selective exposure research. Results show systematic differences in textual characteristics and reading behavior between climate change and migration policy articles, identifying a methodological confound.
Why it mattersA methodological note for researchers using eye tracking on controversial-topic reading. Relevant to HCI study design, but narrow in audience and impact.
