| Summary: | This study examines the effects of exposure to Islamic State media content and its effect on behavioral intention (support for ISIS). A survey of Muslim adults living in the United States was conducted (N = 396) to examine the relationship of media exposure on empathy and attitudes toward ISIS and behavioral intention. Using social cognitive theory as a theoretical framework, relationships between variables were examined through mediation analyses. Results show participants do not favor ISIS. Findings and implications are discussed. |
