Abstract

ABSTRACT Political satire has been an object of study for communication researchers for more than a generation. Focused primarily on the political effects of satire exposure on attitudes and opinions, knowledge gain and learning, and efficacy and engagement, this large body of research often treats satire as news. Research that focuses on the entertaining nature of satire is equally important. To broaden the field's theoretical understanding of political satire's net impact, the research suggests five frameworks from mass communication theory that can be applied to better understand the effects of exposure to political satire, including: (1) mood management theory, (2) parasocial interaction, (3) identification, (4) social identity theory, and (5) hedonic and eudaimonic motivations.
运用大众传播框架研究幽默的影响:推进政治讽刺研究
政治讽刺作为传播学研究者的研究对象已经有整整一代人的时间了。这一庞大的研究机构主要关注讽刺作品曝光对态度和观点、知识获取和学习、有效性和参与度的政治影响,通常将讽刺作品视为新闻。研究讽刺作品的娱乐性也同样重要。为了拓宽该领域对政治讽刺的净影响的理论理解,本研究提出了大众传播理论中的五个框架,可以更好地理解政治讽刺的影响,包括:(1)情绪管理理论,(2)副社会互动,(3)认同,(4)社会认同理论,以及(5)享乐和幸福动机。
