Religiosity may change the direction of the effect of TV viewing on assessment of the likelihood of personal victimization and estimates concerning crime prevalence. A content analysis of a representative sample of TV programming (56 hours of prime-time shows) was done to identify the most common crimes on television, followed by a survey of a representative sample of the adult public in a large urban district (778 respondents) who were asked to estimate the prevalence of these crimes and to assess the likelihood of themselves being victimized. People who defined themselves as non-religious increased their estimates of prevalence for crimes often depicted on TV, as they reported more time watching TV (ordinary cultivation effect), whereas estimates regarding the prevalence of crime and assessment of victimization likelihood among religious respondents were lower with reports of more time devoted to television viewing (counter-cultivation effect).
宗教虔诚度可能会改变看电视对个人受害可能性评估以及犯罪率估计的影响方向。对一个具有代表性的电视节目样本(56小时黄金时段节目)进行了内容分析,以确定电视上最常见的犯罪类型,随后对一个大城市地区成年公众的代表性样本(778名受访者)进行了调查,要求他们估计这些犯罪的发生率,并评估自己成为受害者的可能性。将自己定义为非宗教信徒的人,随着他们报告看电视时间增加(普通培养效应),会提高对电视上经常出现的犯罪发生率的估计,而宗教受访者中,随着报告看电视时间增加,对犯罪发生率的估计以及对受害可能性的评估则较低(反培养效应)。
