Abstract
⺠We test four explanations of selective exposure (SE) to confirming information. ⺠Information seeking was measured following predictions of varying arbitrariness. ⺠Participants engaged in SE following arbitrary and informed predictions. ⺠Anticipated positive affective reactions predicted information selections. ⺠The positive affect associated with being correct can drive post-prediction SE.
