<p>When people change beliefs, they generally exhibit poor awareness of that change. Two experiments examined the extent that awareness of belief change predicted information-seeking preferences and behavior. Participants’ initial beliefs were recorded during a prescreening session 2–11 weeks prior to the experiment, and again in the experiment after they had read a text that presented evidence and arguments that were inconsistent with those initial beliefs. Participants also recalled their initial beliefs before completing measures of information seeking. Experiment 1 examined beliefs related to TV violence and asked participants to rate their level of interest in reading articles with titles that were either related or unrelated to that topic. Using a similar procedure, Experiment 2 examined beliefs regarding gun control and assessed information-seeking via an open-ended reading task where participants could read articles that were either related or unrelated to the topic. Both experiments showed that participants changed beliefs after reading belief-inconsistent texts and that recollections of previous beliefs were biased towards current beliefs. Awareness of belief change, as measured by recollection accuracy, predicted interest in reading further information on TV violence in Experiment 1 and the number of gun control related articles read in Experiment 2. In both experiments, the information-seeking behavior was specific to the topic studied and did not extend to the control topics. The results of these findings build upon past research that shows poor awareness of belief change by documenting its relationship with information-seeking behavior.</p>
