Selective exposure is the process through which individuals attend to only those messages that are consistent with their preexisting attitudes and beliefs, and avoid messages that are inconsistent with their worldview. Selective retention refers to the process of remembering only those messages that are consistent with our preexisting beliefs and attitudes, while selective perception refers to the process through which we interpret or perceive information in a way that is consistent with our preexisting attitudes and beliefs. Selective counterveillance is not a recognized process in psychology.
