Abstract

Two studies were conducted to test the relation between hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment experiences as well as their respective influence on information processing while watching a political talk show on TV. Assumptions from entertainment theory and positive psychology served as theoretical basis. A curvilinear relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment experiences was found through an online survey (N = 675). The second study (N = 132) was an experiment in which hedonic entertainment experiences were manipulated. Again, a curvilinear relationship between both entertainment experiences was detected. Furthermore, entertainment experiences were associated with information processing in a meaningful pattern. These results point to the distinct relationships and effects of different forms of entertainment experiences. Implications for political media and entertainment education are discussed.

曲线化娱乐:政治脱口秀中享乐与享乐娱乐体验的曲线化关系及其对信息加工的启示

本研究通过两项研究，测试了在观看电视政治脱口秀节目时，享乐性和享乐性娱乐体验之间的关系，以及它们各自对信息加工的影响。来自娱乐理论和积极心理学的假设是理论基础。通过一项在线调查(N = 675)，我们发现享乐性和愉悦性娱乐体验之间存在曲线关系。第二项研究(N = 132)是一个操纵享乐娱乐体验的实验。再一次，两种娱乐体验之间的曲线关系被发现。此外，娱乐体验以一种有意义的模式与信息处理相关。这些结果指出了不同形式的娱乐体验的不同关系和影响。讨论了政治媒体和娱乐教育的含义。
