A
Manycriticsworryaboutviolenceontelevision,mostoutoffearthatitstimulatesviewerstoviolentoraggressiveacts.Ourresearch,however,indicatesthattheconsequencesofexperiencingTV’ssymbolicworldofviolencemaybemuchmorefar-reaching.
WehavefoundthatpeoplewhowatchalotofTVseetherealworldasmoredangerousandfrighteningthanthosewhowatchverylittle.Heavyviewersarelesstrustfuloftheirfellowcitizens,andmorefearfuloftherealworld.SincemostTV“action-adventure”dramasoccurinurbansettings,thefeartheyinspiremaycontributetothecurrentfleeofthemiddleclassfromourcities.Thefearmayalsobringincreasingdemandsforpoliceprotection,andelectionoflaw-and-orderpoliticians.

Violenceontelevisionleadsviewerstoregardtherealworldasmoredangerousthanitreallyis,whichmustalsoinfluencethewaypeoplebehave.Whenasked,“Canmostpeoplebetrusted”theheavyviewerswere35percentmorelikelytochoose“Can’tbetoocareful.”

Wehavefoundthatviolenceonprime-time(黄金时段)networkTVcultivatesoverstatedthreatofdangerintherealworld.Theoverstatedsenseofriskandinsecuritymayleadtoincreasingdemandsforprotection,andtoincreasingpressurefortheuseofforcebyestablishedauthority.Insteadofthreateningthesocialorder,televisionmayhavebecomeourchiefinstrumentofsocialcontrol.
