- W100681131 abstract "College students' perceptions of love and romance on television were analyzed. Participants included 412 undergraduate students who completed a questionnaire about love on television. Results from this study indicated that men and women had similar perceptions of courtship, kissing, dating, and attraction on television. However, men and women differed in their perceptions of sex, love, and romance on television. Men were more likely than women to believe that sex on television was portrayed realistically, while women were more likely than men to believe that portrayals of love on television were accurate representations of reality. Lipmann (1922) introduced the concept of perceived realism, which assumed that peoples' realities are influenced by indirect experiences, such as images presented in the media. Research by Carveth (1985) examined perceived realism of soap opera viewers. Carveth noted that men and women viewers perceived the realism of soap operas differently, with women having higher perceived realism scores than men. She also found a positive relationship between men's perceived reality of soap operas and men's attitudes toward non-marital sex. Carveth discussed how these images may be harmful to interpersonal relationships when individuals perceive them as real. In this paper, the objective is to discover how television images may influence men's and women's perceived realism of love portrayals on television. Research has shown that men and women react differently to mass media images. For instance, Oliver, Weaver, and Sargent (2000) found that women enjoy sad movies more than men. In addition, Gardos and Mosher (1999) found that men compared to women find pornography more satisfying to watch. It is evident that men and women prefer different types of media. Yet, research concerning perceptions of love on television and sex differences is scarce. Much of the research dealing with love in the media has focused on sexual behavior rather than romance and courtship behaviors (i.e., Buerkel-Rothfuss & Strause, 1993; Greenberg, Stanley, Siemicki, Heeter, Soderman, & Linsangan, 1993). Galician (1999) found that mass media images in television, movies, and advertisements affect or reinforce unrealistic ideals about romantic relationships. Furthermore, Bachen and Illouz (1996) discovered that mass media images affect children's perceptions of romance. They noted that from watching media, children associated romance with excessive or grandiose expectations about relationships. There is a practical need for studies dealing with love on television. One cannot assume that love (or things associated with romance) on television is similar to love in real life. Mass media, specifically television images, may influence romantic partners to have negative perceptions about their romantic relationships, possibly to the point of terminating their relationships (Galician, 1999). The objective of this study is to discern possible perception differences between men and women concerning the realism of love portrayed on television. Based on previous research, perceived realism on television is a noteworthy topic. The effects that portrayals of love on television may have on individuals need to be investigated further. Hence, the hypothesis of this paper looked at the differences between men's and women's perceptions of love on television. METHOD Participants Participants in the present study were 412 students enrolled in a basic communication course at a large Midwestern university. Of the 412 participants, 164 (39.8%) were male, 225 (54.6%) were female, and 25 (5.6%) failed to indicate their gender. Other demographic information is presented in Table 1. The scale was given in a mass testing format with other scales. All participants received credit for their participation. Procedure The Perceived Realism Scale (PRS) by Rubin (1981) was used to assess participants' perceived realism. …" @default.
