Psychology of Popular Media Culture. Advance online publication. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000147 Psychology of Popular Media Culture © 2017 American Psychological Association 2017, Vol. 6, No. 2, 000 2160-4134/17/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000147 Curving Entertainment: The Curvilinear Relationship Between Hedonic and Eudaimonic Entertainment Experiences While Watching a Political Talk Show and Its Implications for Information Processing Franziska S. Roth, Carina Weinmann, Frank M. Schneider, Frederic R. Hopp, Melanie J. Bindl, and Peter Vorderer University of Mannheim Two studies were conducted to test the relation between hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment experiences as well as their respective influence on information process- ing while watching a political talk show on TV. Assumptions from entertainment theory and positive psychology served as theoretical basis. A curvilinear relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment experiences was found through an online survey (N ϭ 675). The second study (N ϭ 132) was an experiment in which hedonic entertainment experiences were manipulated. Again, a curvilinear relationship between both entertainment experiences was detected. Furthermore, entertainment experiences were associated with information processing in a meaningful pattern. These results point to the distinct relationships and effects of different forms of entertainment experiences. Implications for political media and entertainment educa- tion are discussed. Public Policy Relevance Statement There sometimes seem to be two conflicting views when it comes to how political media are supposed to look like. Some argue they should be very entertaining, to motivate people with low political interest to get involved and learn something on the side. Others argue they should not be entertaining but rather serious, so that real learning is possible at all. Our data cannot support either notion. From our results we would argue that some fun in political content is not necessarily a bad thing. The “correct” mixture is the relevant point; in our studies we see a threshold, a cutoff point, at which fun is too much of a good thing. However, until that point it should be a goal to provide hedonic entertainment experiences, i.e., fun, joy, wittiness, humor. Keywords: political entertainment, entertainment theory, information processing, sur- vey, experiment Entertainment research has focused on the dramas, and thrillers (see, e.g., the special issue commonalities, differences, and specialties of of the Journal of Communication, Oliver & This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at VU Original Article What Determines Video Game Use? The Impact of Users’ Habits, Addictive Tendencies, and Intentions to Play Tilo Hartmann,1 Younbo Jung,2 and Peter Vorderer3 1Department of Communication Science, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 3Department of Media and Communication Studies, University of Mannheim, Germany Abstract. The present study explores the role of intentions, habits, and addictive tendencies in people’s video game use. Although both habits and addictive tendencies may determine higher amounts of video game use, the present study examines whether the impact of habits and addictive tendencies on video game use may also be lower the less users intend to play (indicating a moderating role of intention). To test these assumptions, survey data were collected in two waves (N = 351), measuring causal factors in the first wave and outcomes (subsequent video game use) in the second. Results of mediation analyses reveal a positive impact of both habits and addictive tendencies on video game use that is partly affected by users’ intentions. Furthermore, moderation analyses suggest that the impact of habits, but not of addictive tendencies, on video game use decreases, the less users intend to play. Taken together, these findings suggest that users’ video game habits, addictive tendencies, and intentions jointly determine video game use. Keywords: addiction, habit, intention, media choice, video games Introduction game exposure. Because of their automaticity, habits are said to influence media use independent from what users intend.

  • Julian Ernst Et Al.: a Qualitative Content Analysis of User Comments on Youtube Related to Counter Speech Videos
    Hate Beneath the Counter Speech? A Qualitative Content Analysis of User Comments on YouTube Related to Counter Speech Videos By1: Julian Ernst2; Josephine B. Schmitt3; Diana Rieger4; Ann Kristin Beier5; Peter Vorderer6; Gary Bente7; Hans-Joachim Roth 8 Abstract The odds in stumbling over extremist material in the internet are high. Counter speech videos, such as those of the German campaign Begriffswelten Islam (Concepts of Islam; Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, 2015a) published on YouTube, offer alternative perspectives and democratic ideas to counteract extremist content. YouTube users may discuss these videos in the comment sections below the video. Yet, it remains open which topics these users bring up in their comments. Moreover, it is unknown how far user comments in this context may promote hate speech—the very opposite of what counter speeches intent to evoke. By applying a qualitative content analysis on a randomly selected sample of user comments, which appeared beneath the counter speech videos of Concepts of Islam, we found that comments dominated, which dealt with devaluating prejudices and stereotypes towards Muslims and/or Islam. However, we also discovered that users in a large scale discussed the content of the videos. Moreover, we identified user comments, which hint at hateful speech either in comments themselves or the discourse the comments are embedded in. Based on these results, we discuss implications for researchers, practitioners and security agencies. Keywords: hate speech, counter speech, user comments, qualitative content analysis, anti-Muslim racism 1 All authors are working in the project CONTRA: Countering Propaganda by Narration Towards Anti-Radical Awareness, commissioned by the European Union, that aims to prevent extremist attitudes and behaviors among the young generation by fostering critical media competence.
