摘要

背景:娱乐电视节目可以影响观众的知识、态度和生殖健康行为,但很少有研究调查脚本流产情节对观众的流产知识或对流产者的社会支持的影响。我们研究了《实习医生格蕾》中堕胎的故事情节对美国观众的影响。方法:在《实习医生格蕾》播出前,我们对可能的观众进行了在线调查,评估堕胎的思想、知识和支持程度。播出后,我们重新调查了受访者(包括看过和没有看过目标剧集的人)。我们检验了三个假设:事件暴露会(1)提高堕胎知识;(2)增加对药物流产的支持,减少对自我流产的支持;(3)国家对堕胎的支持会调节对知识和支持意愿的影响。我们使用独立样本t检验检验假设1和假设2,并使用PROCESS宏检验调节效应(假设3)。结果:前测/后测分析结果表明,暴露于药物流产事件显著提高了药物流产知识。药物流产知识的增加与明确的教育对话有关,并没有转化为一般流产知识或社会支持的增加。值得注意的是,与堕胎相关的州政策显著减缓了政策有利于堕胎准入的州的受访者暴露的影响。结论:这些发现表明,娱乐电视节目可以促进观众对堕胎知识的有意义的增加,但娱乐教育的潜在影响与剧集内容密切相关,并受到州一级堕胎政策的缓和。

Prime-time abortion on Grey's Anatomy: What do US viewers learn from fictional portrayals of abortion on television?

Context: Entertainment television can impact viewers' knowledge, attitudes, and reproductive health behaviors, yet little research has examined the impact of scripted abortion plotlines on viewers' abortion knowledge or social supportiveness for those having abortions. We examined the impact of an abortion storyline from Grey's Anatomy on US-based viewers.

Method: We conducted an online survey of likely Grey's Anatomy viewers prior to the episode's airing, assessing abortion ideology, knowledge, and support. After airing, we resurveyed respondents (including both those who had and had not viewed the target episode). We tested three hypotheses: episode exposure would (1) improve abortion knowledge and (2) increase support for medication abortion and decrease support for self-induced abortion, and (3) the effects on knowledge and supportive intention would be moderated by state support for abortion. We used independent samples t tests to examine hypotheses 1 and 2 and PROCESS macro to test the moderated effects (hypothesis 3).

Results: The results of the pretest/posttest analysis indicated that exposure to the episode significantly improved medication abortion knowledge. Increases in medication abortion knowledge were tied to explicit educational dialogue and did not translate into an increase in general abortion knowledge or social supportiveness. Notably, abortion-related state policy significantly moderated the influence of exposure for respondents in states with policies favorable to abortion access.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that entertainment television can contribute to meaningful increases in viewers' knowledge about abortion, but that the potential for impact of entertainment-education is closely linked to episode content and moderated by state-level abortion policy.
