dc.description.abstractAbstract This study examines the relationship between exposure to online polarisation and attitudes towards ethnic diversity among Nigerian youth. The study population consisted of 159 students in their final year of undergraduate study at the University of Ilorin, the Kwara State University, Malete, and Ahmad Pategi University, Pategi, all located in North Central Nigeria, and who were considered media literate. The questionnaire included items related to exposure to online polarisation, attitudes towards ethnic diversity and the correlation between exposure to online polarisation and attitudes towards ethnic diversity. The results reveal that exposure to discussions regarding ethnic issues on social media does not significantly influence the level of engagement on social media platforms. However, attitudes towards ethnic diversity exhibited significant variation based on survey items, with one item showing a noteworthy correlation.
