Previous content analyses of pop music have considered the prevalence of misogynistic portrayals of interpersonal relationships but have used relatively small samples of music, and often neglected musician gender. Because cultural depictions create individuals' musical identity, we expect the musical norms identified by previous content analyses to be reflected by lyrics produced by males and females. The lyrics of all 4,534 songs that have reached the United Kingdom's top five singles sales chart between March 1960 and December 2015 were computer-analyzed to consider the association between 40 aspects of each and both the proportion of females who recorded each song and the gender of the vocalist. There were few associations between the lyrical content and vocalist gender. However, the proportion of all musicians who recorded each song who were female was associated positively with the lyrics containing words indicative of inspiration and variety and negatively with the lyrics containing different words, and words indicative of aggression, passivity, cooperation, diversity, insistence, embellishment, and activity. Songs recorded by a high proportion of female musicians described a wide range of subject matters in the context of abstract virtues, whereas songs recorded by a high proportion of male musicians were more likely to address stereotyped concepts of adolescent masculinity that were positively and negatively valanced.

Based on cultivation theory, this study examines whether an individual’s exposure to romantic media contents would be significantly related to their fear of being single. Analyses on a cross-sectional sample of 18- to 25-year olds (N = 821) did not show a significant overall relationship between exposure to romantic media contents and fear of being single, but moderation results indicated that this relationship did exist for women who were single themselves. Suggesting that romantic media contents might contribute to the fear of being single only for specific members of this genre’s audience, these findings could have general implications for theorizing on cultivation-type media effects.

Drawing on social identity theory (SIT), the current research explored the psychosocial impacts of digital gaming, through two studies. In Study 1, Football Manager players (N= 349) completed an online questionnaire measuring their social identity, quality of friendships, self-esteem, and psychological well-being. Study 2 utilised the equivalent methodology but in relation to FIFA players (N = 95), in which social identity was framed by their affiliation as online versus offline players. Study 1 found that social identity was positively related to well-being. Study 2 found differential effects of social identity as a result of the context of play. Specifically, positive associations were found for players who played in offline contexts in respect of support and depth of relationships. Overall, positive associations were found between social identity and self-esteem. This research highlights the application of SIT through a more nuanced contextual lens, to more fully understand its psychosocial impacts.

This study proposes media audiences engage in 2 types of TV binge watching: intentional and unintentional. Using the differential susceptibility to media effects model as a framework, we draw from research on sensitivity theory and uses and gratifications to test whether unintentional binges are more likely to result in addiction symptoms, and whether this is due to impulsivity as a personality trait. Using an online survey, we find (a) most of our sample has engaged in both types of binge watching, (b) addiction symptoms were more common after unintentional binges, and (c) impulsivity exerts an indirect effect on addiction in the case of unintentional binging only, by increasing unintentional binging frequency. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

The present study investigates the influence of audiences’ ethnocentrism on their parasocial interaction (PSI) with sitcom characters. A total of 156 American college students participated in the study that involved viewing a British sitcom and its American remake. For audiences with high ethnocentrism, PSI with the male character in the American remake was significantly higher than that with the corresponding character in the British sitcom, whereas for people with low ethnocentrism, PSI with the male character in the British sitcom was significantly higher than that with the corresponding character in the American remake. People with high as well as low ethnocentrism did not exhibit significant PSI difference with the female character in the British sitcom and its American remake.

We explored parasocial interactions with characters from a narrow range of books and movies, namely, those featuring the character “Harry Potter.” Following research that suggests that parasocial interactions are multidimensional, we investigated which personality, reading, and viewing motives predicted 4 dimensions of parasocial interaction with characters in the “Harry Potter” series. The pattern of significant predictors indicated that interpersonal aspects of reading (neuroticism and reading for companionship) and sociable aspects of movie viewing (openness, agreeableness, extraversion, and viewing to be sociable) lead to greater experience of the dimensions of parasocial interaction. We suggest that these factors relate to the availability of interactive media and experiences surrounding this series, and the series representing mainstream rather than subcultural media. Results support the suggestion that parasocial interaction is multidimensional and demonstrate that factors predicting these dimensions may vary dependent on the medium in which the favored persona is presented, or on the identity of the favored persona.
