“…Third Morgan and Shanahan's (1997;Shanahan & Morgan, 1999) metaanalysis found a mean overall effect size of approximately r = .09 between amount of TV viewing and perceptions of reality reflecting television's view of the world . It is a logical step to start formulating hypotheses and gathering data to discover whether similar relationships of a similar size exist between video games and the gamer's view of the world.…”

This study found significant relationships between first and second order cultivation measures and TV viewing, but found a relationship with video game play for only two variables in a sample of 322 Flemish 3 rd and 6 th year secondary school children. This suggests that the absence of a relationship with video game play is not the result of the absence of cultivation effects in Flanders. On the other hand it shows that the relationship between TV viewing and cultivation measures is not an artifact of systematic over reporting. The study concludes that cultivation measures typical of the "television world" are not related to playing video games.

“…One study finds a relationship between the number of the medical drama Grey's Anatomy episodes seen and evaluations of doctor courageousness, as mediated by judgments of Grey's Anatomy's credibility; judgments of doctor courageousness were also related to patient's satisfaction with their own physicians (Quick, 2009). Overall, cultivation effects appear to be small but consistent, with meta-analyses estimating an average effect size of 0.10 (Morgan & Shanahan, 1997;Shanahan & Morgan, 1999, p. Ch. 6).…”

Fiction as Autobiography

Fiction is a pervasive human activity, consuming large parts of people’s day to day lives. In the present paper prepared for my qualifying exam, I delineate the set of understudied phenomena that is memory for events which occurred in works of narrative fiction. I synthesize literature showing that memories of the world and narrative are captured by mental models, which are neutral with regard their mode of construction. Moreover, such memories of narratives are relatively insensitive to the issue of fictionality, such that we apply the same cognitive processes regardless of whether events are framed as fictional or not. Based on this evidence, I argue that memories of fiction are of the same fundamental type or natural kind as autobiographical memories, exhibiting similar properties, functions, and downstream effects. Possible differences between memories of fiction and personal memories are discussed. Subsequent revisions are planned for submission as a review paper. I am grateful to my thesis committee for their encouragement and feedback: David C. Rubin, Mark R. Leary, Felipe De Brigard, and Elizabeth J. Marsh.

“…The meta-analysis by Morgan and Shanahan (1997) of available empirical studies indicates the same. These studies now cover a remarkably broad spectrum, cultivation effects being studied for example with reference to gender roles, health, science, education and politics.…”

“…Also, television does not have to be learned, like reading and comprehending print media, and it provides across all channels, program types and individual broadcasts a self-contained and stable system of uniform messages. The uniformity of the televised messages and their immediacy account for the medium's socializing power (see reviews by Gerbner and Gross, 1976a;Gerbner, Gross, Morgan, and Signorielli, 1994;Morgan and Shanahan, 1997;Schenk, 2002: 537Ϫ567).…”
