Collin County Community College Schema Discussion

I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Visit both a conservative leaning news site (e.g., http://www.foxnews.com/ or http://www.breitbart.com/) and a liberal leaning news site (e.g., http://www.cnn.com or http://www.msnbc.com) and find a story that is covered by both outlets.  Read each of the articles. 1) What is a schema?  2) Describe the schema that you might form from each of the articles.  3) Do you think that the person who wrote the first story would change his/her opinion if he/she read the second story? Why or why not? (include a brief discussion of confirmation bias) 4) What problems can arise when schemas are used? 5) Do you think that the type of news outlet that you read influences your attitudes?
