| Zusammenfassung: | The current study applies the spiral of silence effect to explore the role of media exposure on tolerance for disagreement about religion. Survey data were collected from students at a large Southeastern university in February 2014. Participants self-reported data were used to measure religiosity, media exposure and tolerance for disagreement about religion. The results reveal three underlying measures in the tolerance for disagreement about religion: comfort, escalation and intellect. Further, the results suggest that Internet use correlates negatively with the intellectual component of tolerance for disagreement about religion, while radio listening correlates positively with the escalation component of tolerance for disagreement about religion. Thus, the article expands understanding of the spiral of silence theory relative to the media - religion interface. |
