“…(Innis & Zeitz, 1988), first-person effect (Tiedge, Silverblatt, Havice, & Rosenfeldt, 1991) or reversed third-person effects (Cohen & Davis, 1991) meaning that people tend to ascribe stronger effects on themselves than they do others. Second-person perception, second-person effect, shared effects or the influence of perceived influence (Gunther & Storey, 2003) refers to that people ascribe persuasive effects on both others and themselves. 2 Borzekowski, Flora, Feighery, and Schooler (1999) had been discarded due to similar results (and Flora is a co-author).…”

“…In another article, a meta-analysis on TPE and behavioral consequence, the authors urge us to move further, to leave the TPE perception hypothesis and move over to the behavioral hypothesis (Xu & Gonzenbach, 2008, p. 376). The argument for this shift is taken from three of the most influential authors on TPE, Perloff (1999), and Gunther and Storey (2003). The reason for this within the common body of research (Salwen, 1998;Perloff, 1999;Gunther & Storey, 2003) is that now that most about TPE is already known, it is time to deal with the really interesting parts of the original TPE hypothesis posed by Davison (1983, p. 3).…”

But to bear in mind though, the expectations on the outcomes compared to studies of the perceptual part should be modest.…”

In this literature review on TPE (third-person effects) and the behavioral consequences on children, the research questions posed are how the body of knowledge has evolved since the first empirical evidence of TPE among children and what knowledge gaps that remain. The traceable developments are two: (1) Compared to the vast amount of articles on TPE in general, the 59 identified on the topic of children are few and two thirds actually focus on adolescents/young adults rather than children. The reason put forward for studying younger children is the urge to prevent risky behavior through media literacy programs or pro-social advertisements; and (2) The studies have not primarily addressed results to support occurrence of TPE among children. Rather they support parental TPE or among the adolescents that TPE and reverse TPE occur due to certain kind of media content. The discussion on knowledge gaps that remain follow three themes: (1) Differentiations between self and others are in psychological studies implied to occur among children between the ages of 3-4 years old, yet no study address how children develop TPE; (2) There is a tendency to follow the more general development within TPE research with the renewed interest in behavioral consequences. But the primary behavioral consequence studied in TPE in general and within studies of TPE and children is support for censorship. Few studies address "real" behavioral consequences like parental mediation; and (3) There is also a need for more theoretically coherent research on the importance of social distance.

“…The predominance of media in setting the symbolic political agenda suggests the importance of influence in this process (Gunther & Storey, 2003). Political actors adopt certain media issues because they believe that television and newspapers determine the topics the public considers to be of primary importance (Walgrave & Van Aelst, 2006).…”

The aim of this article was to analyze the level of influence and boundaries that media exert on politics. Specifically, we studied the power of media to set the public agenda, to set the political agenda determining decision-making processes and to generate political disaffection through politicians' and journalists' perceptions. We used a methodology based on in-depth interviews surveying a large sample of 45 individuals.The analysis was focused on the European context, specifically that of Spain. The results show a high level of mediatization of politics but also reveal limits to the political influence of the media. These constraints on the media's influence on politics affect political agenda-setting and the ability to generate civic engagement. Moreover, we detected four media engagement boundaries that boost citizens' political cynicism.

“…The first tendency is known as the hostile media effect, while the second is called the third-person effect. In the robust research paradigm of the influence of presumed media influence in mass communication (Gunther & Storey, 2003), these two phenomena underscore the critical role of perceptions in interpreting media content and inferring its impact on audience.…”

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.
