The third-person perception is the tendency for people to believe that others are more influenced by media content than themselves (W. P. Davison, 1983). The current study provides a critical test of self-enhancement, exposure, and self-categorization explanations for first-(i.e., self more influenced than others) and third-person perceptions. Male and female participants (N = 323) judged the extent to which pornography elicited ''aroused and excited'' (i.e., male normative) versus ''repulsed and offended'' (i.e., female normative) reactions in themselves relative to average men and women. Men perceived an average woman to be more repulsed and offended by pornography than themselves, and women perceived an average man to be more aroused and excited than themselves (i.e., large third-person perceptions). Further, men perceived themselves to be more aroused and excited by pornography than an average woman (independent of the degree to which pornography was judged as antisocial), and women perceived themselves to be more repulsed and offended than an average man (i.e., large first-person perceptions). There were relatively small effects for same sex comparisons independent of norm. The pattern and magnitude of first-and third-person perceptions are consistent with self-categorization theory, irreconcilable with the exposure hypothesis, and difficult to reconcile with the self-enhancement explanation.People often perceive that others are more susceptible to the influence of media messages than themselves. Indeed, there is much evidence for the third-person perception (Davison, 1983). A meta-analysis of 32 studies suggests that the thirdperson perception is, on average, a moderate effect (Paul, Salwen, & Dupagne, 2000). Although the third-person perception continues to attract much empirical attention,
Drittpersonenwahrnehmung ist die Tendenz von Menschen zu glauben, dass andere durchMedieninhalte mehr beeinflusst werden als sie selbst (Davison, 1983). Vorliegende Studie bietet einen kritischen Test von Selbst-Erhöhung, Exposure-Hypothese und Selbstkategorisierungserklärungen im Zusammenhang mit Selbstwahrnehmung (z.B. man selbst wird mehr beeinflusst als andere) und der Wahrnehmung von anderen. Männliche und weibliche Studienteilnehmer (N=323) beurteilten das Ausmaß, zu welchem Pornographie die Reaktionen "erregend und aufregend" (z.B. männliches Normativ) versus "abstoßend und beleidigend" (z.B. weibliches Normativ) bei sich im Vergleich zur Durchschnittsfrau bzw. zum Durchschnittsmann auslöst. Männer nahmen die durchschnittliche Frau als durch Pornographie stärker abgestoßen und beleidigt wahr als sich selbst. Frauen nahmen den Durchschnittsmann als stärker erregt und aufgeregt wahr als sich selbst (starke Drittpersonenwahrnehmung). Außerdem nahmen Männer sich selbst als durch Pornographie stärker erregt und aufgeregt wahr als die Durchschnittsfrau (abhängig von der Einschätzung, ob Pornographie antisozial ist oder nicht) und Frauen nahmen sich selbst als mehr abgestoßen und angegriffen wahr als der durchschnittliche Mann (starke Wahrnehmung der ersten Person). Es zeigten sich lediglich kleine Effekte für gleichgeschlechtliche Vergleiche unabhängig von der Norm. Die Muster und das Ausmaß von Selbstwahrnehmung und Drittpersonenwahrnehmung sind konsistent mit der Selbstkategorisierungstheorie, unvereinbar mit der Exposure-Hypothese und schwer vereinbar mit der Selbst-Erhöhungserklärung.
ResumenLa percepción de la tercera persona es una tendencia de la gente a creer que el contenido de los medios masivos ejerce una influencia mayor sobre los otros que sobre uno mismo
요약 제3자 지각 개념은 사람들로 하여금 다른 사람들은 그들 자신보다도 미디어의 내용에 의해 더욱 영향을 받는다고 믿게하는 경향을 의미한다 (Davison, 1983). 본 연구는 자기 지각 (예를들어 다른 사람들보다 더욱 영향력을 받는 자아)와 3자 지각을 위한 자기 향상, 노출, 그리고 자기 범주화 설명의 비판적인 실험을 제공하고 있다. 남녀 참여자들(323명)이 포르노그라피가 평균적인 남성과 여성에 대해 일으키는 자극적이고 흥분적인 반응들 (예들들어 남성 성향)과 반발적이고 불쾌하게 하는 (예들들어 여성 성향)것 인가에 대한 정도를 평균적인 남녀에 비교해 판단하였다. 남성들은 평균 여성이 그를 보다 더욱 포르노그라피에 대해 반발적이고 불쾌해 할 것으로 인지하였으며, 여성 참여자들은 평균 남성들이 포르노그라피에 더욱 자극적이고 흥분적인 것으로 (예들들어 대다수 3자 개념들) 인지 하였다. 더욱이 남성들은 그들 자신들이 평균 여성들보다 더욱 자극적일 것으로 인지하고 있었으며(포르노그라피가 반사회적으로 판단되어지는 정도와는 다른), 여성들은 그들 자신들이 평균 남성들보다 더욱 불쾌하고 반발적일 것으로 인지하였다 (예들들어 대체적인 자기지각). 일반적인 성향과는 다르게, 같은 성별의 비교에서는 상대적으로 적은 효과만이 나타났다. 자기 지각, 그리고 3자 지각 개념들의 형태와 규모는 자기 범주 이론과 일치하였으며, 노출 가정과는 양립하지 않았다. 그리고 자아 향상 설명과는 양립하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다.
