Group-relevant content draws more attention than unrelated content in supremacist forums

Evidence

Views and Replies On average, threads (N = 690) that were related to the in-group, out-group, or both received more views (M = 1451.59, SD = 9194.67) and replies (M = 36.26, SD = 146.99) than threads (N = 362) that were not related to the in-group or out-group (M = 970.17, SD = 9014.00 views, M = 25.16, SD = 106.83 replies). However, variability in these values was substantial, as indicated by the very large standard deviations. — Roderick M. Kramer, Geoffrey J. Leonardelli, Robert W.
