Several studies emphasize this heterogeneity in user behavior. Munson and Resnick (0000) identify individuals who actively avoid exposure to challenging viewpoints, while Garrett (0000) shows that a preference for belief-consistent content does not necessarily preclude engagement with opposing perspectives once exposure occurs. Similarly, Flaxman, Goel, and Rao (0000) demonstrate that online media can increase ideological distance while still allowing for incidental exposure to fewer preferred views.
