電視新聞暴力內容對兒童之涵化效果初探

Abstract

本研究援引社會學習理論、社會現實建構理論以及涵化理論等相關研究，企圖探討國內電視新聞播出暴力內容的情形，以其對兒童社會現實認知與態度的影響。並以「暴力犯罪」為例，比較符號、客觀與主觀等三種現實的異同。 本研究發現，國內電視新聞節目對於暴力犯罪新聞的報導與真實社會有所差異。電視新聞收視行為並不會影響兒童對社會現實的認知，僅會影響其態度（包括暴力贊同程度、人際信任感）。在收視行為的各個變項當中，新聞收視量的多寡與涵化效果不具顯著關聯性，對電視新聞的認知真實程度卻造成了明顯的涵化差異。

The study, based on social learning theory, social reality construcation theory and cultivation analysis, intended to investigate the violent content of TV news in Taiwan, and its effects on children`s perception and attitude to social reality. Besides, taking \"violent crime\" for example, this study compared the differences between symbolic, objective and subjective realities. The results showed, TV news viewing behavior didn`t have obvious effects on children`s perception, but on their attitudes, including approval of violence and interpersonal trust. Within all the variables of TV viewing behavior, the amount of exposure had not significant relationship with cultivation effect as the perceived realism to TV news did.
