Watching TV News

چکیده
Based on the "Cultivation of emotions" approach in media psychology we explore the emotional processes that occur while people are watching TVnews. Investigation of media reception is done by combining both timeline data of TV-news (describing formats and content of TV-news by using a computer assisted media analysis) and data about facial expressions as indicators of emotional appraisal processes (EmFACS) and searching for hidden patterns with the aid of THEME. Our results show a large number of temporal patterns in facial expressions data. A remarkably high proportion of these patterns can be interpreted as cognitive appraisal-processes according the assumptions of Scherer and colleagues. Furthermore, we find patterns between the formal aspects of TV-news and the facial expressions of the viewers, suggesting that there seems to be a connection between the presentation of TV news events and the emotional processes of the viewer.
