Television and Perceived Control: A Longitudinal Study of the Cultivation of Powerlessness among Millenial Adolescents Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2019. Also: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations_2/1639 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: University of Massachusetts - Amherst Keyword(s): Control; Television Viewing Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. To test the hypothesis that heavy television viewing contributed negatively to personal evaluations of control during times of transition, a longitudinal study was conducted using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79:Young adults). The data includes 663 adolescents surveyed in 2000 at the age of 14, 15 o 16; and again four years later. Sample includes an oversample of Blacks and Hispanics for comparison purposes. Hierarchical linear regression was employed to test the longitudinal associations. Evidence for cultivation suggest a significant longitudinal contribution of television viewing to perceived control, which supports a resonance pattern. |
