"I opened the door - Zanellato says Daniel, the son who had gone to her father's house along with the doctor - whether she was alive or dead if we called the police.

response and individual reactions
These two items ('response' and 'reaction') that can be treated together, because
share the same basic behavioral model:
the stimulus-response model :
single msg -> single recipient -> reaction
This model involves both deliberate and unintended effects. Although there is a difference between:
ANSWER = implies interaction with the recipient, also a learning process.
REACTION = choices does not imply or interaction by the recipient.
Limits
1) should take account of individual differences, attributes personal
2) Since research has shown that the response may vary according to social categories where the receiver can be located (age, occupation, lifestyle ...). The members of a particular category will choose more or less the same content and you will react almost
the same way.
Media and violence
every new medium launches waves of alarm. Every social alarm (eg increase in crime) leads immediately to identify the media as possible causes.
eg when the internet gives cases of mass murder. Studio (1998) -> 88% of children around the world know "Terminator".
main concern
- proliferation of TV channels
- decline of regulation
-> have made it possible to access for children with dietary television
characterized by a considerable amount of violence and pornography.
were made 3 hypotheses (remained the same over time):
1) the content of television violence abound;
2) children spending more time exposed to violent content;
3) the data show the following hypothesis: the vision of violent content
increases the possibility of aggressive behavior.
They're offered 3 THEORETICAL MODELS to describe the process of
learning and imitation of television violence :
A - social learning theory: children learn from models of the media as a model will be rewarded / punished.
B - EFFECTS OF PRIMING: when people watch violent content, they trigger thoughts and similar assessments, leading to a better disposition to violence.
C - THEORY OF SCRIPT: behavior is controlled by "scripts" that tell you how to behave in various situations. TV violence is coded in such a way that leads to violence, according to scripts inspired violence. In this way we have a "desensitization", which decreases the inhibition against violence by increasing the tolerance. Children living in violent contexts, or more likely more problematic emotional states.
collective reaction
widespread panic
Provoked rumors, misleading, incomplete. You create the conditions for a reaction uncontrolled news. The media contribute to the rumors (expansion of terrorism, nuclear hazard, etc. ..). Other ancillary conditions: anxiety, fear, uncertainty.
amplification / spread of riots
The media have often been singled out as the cause of non-institutionalized and violent behavior (threat to). They can create a culture of subversion. May contribute to the shape and intensity.
I nvolontario support terrorists
Involuntarily the media can play into the hands of terrorists, seeking to draw public attention on their actions and ideologies.
