POL369Y5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Osmosis
Document Summary
Spiral of silence - your perception of how other people view your opinions is negative (involuntary) which causes you to be silent. Csi effect: prioritize forensic evidence over all other evidence. E. g. when you are being entertained (watching tv/movies) you are still exposed to politics. Gateway effect: when you do further investigation on political topics that you have learned. Political socialization: we acquire political norms from our culture (not through osmosis) but through agents of socialization. Primary groups of political socialization (family and peer groups) People who are very strong fans of fictional narrative are susceptible to learning from it because they become immersed by the literature (forget the passing of time) Narrative transportation effect: when you identify with characters from the media you are a fan of, and you start showing those traits (effects you based on what you are interested in) Cultivation is different from nt (different from immersion)
