Abstract:

  Purpose: Popular TV series and sitcoms have received different reactions from people of different   classes. The present study was conducted to measure the positive and negative attitudes of   psychologists, psychiatrists, chronic psychiatric patients and ordinary healthy viewers toward an   Iranian TV series entitled ‘The Physicians’ Building’ whose main character was a psychologist.   Materials and Methods: The study tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that measured   the attitude toward the mentioned TV series with 19 items based on Likert scale. The data were   analyzed using descriptive and inferential tests. The participants were selected voluntarily and   included 30 psychologists, 25 psychiatrists, 16 under-treatment psychiatric patients and 57   ordinary people (total of 128 participants).   Results: The results showed that in most cases, psychologists’ opinion about the series was   different from the other groups of participants ( P = .04). Psychologists strongly emphasized on   the bad influences of this TV series in the society ( P = .02).   Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the attitudes of psychologists toward   the studied TV series as compared to psychiatrists, psychiatric patients and ordinary people.
