Children and Adolescents’ Third-Person Perception Regarding Depictions of Violence in Different TV Genres

Summary/Abstract: Research in third-person perception (TPP) is well-established. The current study contributes to the literature by examining differences in the perceptual bias attributable to different television genres: Teen Dramas, Crime Dramas, and Super Hero/Fantasy Shows. A field survey of middle school and high school students (N = 1,255) documented third-person perception regarding depictions of abuse on television watched by children and adolescents, as well as a unique third-person effect: Intended bystander intervention when witnessing peer bullying in real life.
