Building on the idea that drama enjoyment can regulate moods, the authors test three possible processes: transportation path (involving transportation and enjoyment), meaning path (involving transportation, moved feelings, thought reflections, and enjoyment), and parasocial support path (involving transportation, parasocial interactions, identification with drama characters, and enjoyment). The findings identify likability as crucial and also show that the processes vary for happy versus sad viewers.","PeriodicalId":48051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media","volume":"67 1","pages":"21 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46151056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effects of such news have gone unexplored. Using priming theory, this analysis examines the role of privacy news on trust in data institutions, privacy attitudes, and privacy literacy. Findings show that privacy news consumption is positively associated with privacy concern and literacy, which were negatively associated with trust in data institutions, fully mediating the effect of privacy news consumption on trust. These conclusions suggest a benefit of integrating privacy news consumption into relevant theories and models and have societal implications for consumption of privacy news.","PeriodicalId":48051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media","volume":"31 10","pages":"772 - 793"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41283467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants (N = 256) conducted searches about current events and evaluated the quality of the results they received along with their trust in technology and attitudes toward the search topic. Consistent with the layer model of trust, people’s propensity to trust technology corresponded with greater perceptions of search quality, though the effect through people’s belief in Google’s search algorithm was stronger. Overall, increasingly specific assessments of layers of technology help explain why people evaluate search results to vary in quality.","PeriodicalId":48051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media","volume":"66 1","pages":"751 - 771"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44923405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results revealed that heroes were most likely to be motivated by altruism, villains were most likely to be motivated by egoism, and films’ emphasis on altruism was associated with more positive audience ratings and greater box-office earnings. No clear relationship between motivations and future film production emerged. We discuss how the present results can inform future work investigating the relationship between audiences and Disney content.","PeriodicalId":48051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media","volume":"66 1","pages":"843 - 863"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43587794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
