mean world syndrome  

Definición

  • Mean world syndrome is the tendency for heavy TV viewers to believe that the world is a more hostile and unfriendly place than it actually is, to be more afraid of becoming a victim of violent crime, and to be more distrustful of others. The mean world effect is derived from cultivation theory as developed by George Gerbner in 1969. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Mean World Syndrome]
