“…The results showed that, in all the four cases, the association between both components was weak or non-existent, in accordance with Xu and Gonzenbach (2008), and only the support for public service advertising was slightly correlated with TPE. These findings contrast with those of Youn et al (2000) who demonstrated a strong association between the perceptual component of TPE and the willingness to censor gambling advertising, and those of Wan and Youn (2004), that also provided empirical support for the association between TPE and censorship, even after controlling for other possible mediating variables, such as Internet usage, ideology, and political involvement.…”

“…This study extends the work of Youn, Faber and Shah (2000) who examined the perceived effects of gambling advertising on individuals and their willingness to support the prohibition of gambling advertising applying the Third-Person Effect (TPE; Davison, 1983). To the best of the authors' knowledge, Youn et al's study is the only study that has been devoted to the analysis of the TPE in relation to gambling advertising and the increasing call to restrict or prohibit this specific form of advertising.…”

“…To the best of the authors' knowledge, Youn et al's study is the only study that has been devoted to the analysis of the TPE in relation to gambling advertising and the increasing call to restrict or prohibit this specific form of advertising. The conclusion of their study was that the discrepancy between the perception of the effects of gambling advertising on others and on the self was related to individuals' propensity to support the restriction of such advertising (Youn et al, 2000). The present study aimed to go a step further and investigate how the association between the perceptual and behavioural components of the TPE can be affected by five mediating variables (Internet self-efficacy, vulnerability, awareness, ego-involving, and paternalism).…”

Psychology and Learning, 7(2), 15-30. AbstractGambling disorder is known to have a negatively detrimental impact on affected individual's physical and psychological health, social relationships, and finances. Via remote technologies (e.g., Internet, mobile phones, and interactive television), gambling has come out of gambling venues and has brought the potential for online gambling to occur anywhere (e.g., the home, the workplace, and on the move). Alongside the rise of online gambling, online gambling advertising have spread throughout all type of media. In a sample of 201 Spanish university students, the present study explored the perceived influence of online gambling advertising.More specifically it examined the Third-Person Effect (TPE), and its consequences on individuals' willingness to support censorship or public service advertising. The findings demonstrate that despite the difference on the perception of the effects of online gambling advertising, it scarcely accounts for the behavioural outcomes analysed. On the contrary, awareness of problem gambling and, above all, paternalistic attitudes appear to explain this support.

“…Such systematic and self-serving differences in perceptions of the self and others are often referred to as third-person effect (Huh, Delorme, & Reid, 2004). In connection with mass media, this effect may be more pronounced if the audience regards being persuaded by the message as a sign of weakness or lack of intelligence, or if the communicator has an explicit persuasive intention or is perceived to be untrustworthy (Gunther, 1991;Youn et al, 2000). Furthermore, the use of self-report measures renders data vulnerable for common method bias (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003).…”

Although there is a general lack of empirical evidence that advertising influences gambling participation, the regulation of gambling advertising is hotly debated among academic researchers, treatment specialists, lobby groups, regulators, and policy makers. This study contributes to the ongoing debate by investigating perceived impacts of gambling advertising in a sample of gamblers drawn from the general population in Norway (n = 6,034). Three dimensions of advertising impacts were identified, representing perceived impacts on (a) gambling-related attitudes, interest, and behavior ('Involvement'), (b) knowledge about gambling options and providers ('Knowledge'), and (c) the degree to which people are aware of gambling advertising ('Awareness'). Overall, impacts were strongest for the 'Knowledge' dimension, and, for all three dimensions, the impact increased with level of advertising exposure. Those identified as problem gamblers in the sample (n = 57) reported advertising impacts concerning 'Involvement' more than recreational gamblers, and this finding was not attributable to differences in advertising exposure. Additionally, younger gamblers reported stronger impacts on 'Involvement' and 'Knowledge' but were less likely to agree that they were aware of gambling advertising than older gamblers. Male gamblers were more likely than female gamblers to report stronger impacts on both 'Involvement' and 'Knowledge'. These findings are discussed with regard to existing research on gambling advertising as well as their implications for future research and policy-making.

“…People may engage in rectifying behaviors to restrict negative media messages . A large number of third-person effect studies show that those who believed others were more affected by media messages than themselves would support restrictions of such messages for the sake of protecting others (Lo & Wei, 2002;McLeod et al, 1997;Youn, Faber, & Shah, 2000). Among the studies that focused on the presumed effect of polls from the third-person effect perspective, Salwen (1998) confirmed that third-person perception led to support for restrictions on campaign messages in the 1996 presidential election.…”

This study examines the role of perceptions of opinion polls in assessing media performance in the 2010 midterm elections using data collected in a southern state. Results show strong hostile media effect in viewing the favorability of the polls and the third-person effect in assessing the impact of the polls on others and oneself. Moreover, results indicate that the influence of hostile polls on the perceived effect of these polls on oneself relative to others was mediated by poll exposure. Perception of hostile polls was found to be negatively related to poll exposure. The hotile perception indirectly affects perceived effects of polls on oneself and others, which in turn directly affects support for restrictions of election polls. The theretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
