Dr. Sungeun Chung: Patterns of Media Effect Perceptions: A Critical Examination of the Third-Person Effect Hypothesis

    Klein College of Media and Communication

    Hosted by Dr. Edward Fink, this talk will focus on Dr. Chung’s studies of third-person effect hypothesis, which revealed that presumed effect on others is a stronger predictor of censorship attitudes than the other-self differential in perceived media effect. He will propose a new way to test both overestimation and underestimation of media effect in light of his recent findings that when the majority opinion in the poll was incongruent with the respondents’ pre-existing attitude, respondents underestimated the amount of attitude change for themselves but overestimated the amount of attitude change of others. His talk will also focus on new directions of the study on media effect perceptions.
     
    Dr. Chung is a visiting scholar in the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University, and associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Sungkyunkwan University. Before joining Sungkyunkwan University, he had taught communication five years at Western Illinois University. He has been studying dynamic belief changes due to exposure to persuasive messages and biases in media effect perceptions. His research has been published in the field’s premier journals, and in 2014, he received the University Achievement Award from Sungkyunkwan University.
