Abstract
We tracked the pieces of information that American participants were interested in seeing as they considered a refugee resettlement policy. Participants who rejected resettlement efforts were especially concerned with security-related information, and disinterested in humanitarian-related information, while those who supported refugee resettlement expressed interest in a more balanced information diet.
