Selective exposure refers to the concept that individuals tend to seek out and pay attention to information that agrees with their pre-existing beliefs or attitudes, while ignoring information that contradicts them. In this case, the individual has already purchased the car, so they may be more likely to notice advertisements for it as it aligns with their previous decision.
