Dynamics in Social-viewing Context

Investigating Shared Responses in TV Co-Viewers

Not Recruiting
100 years or below

Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

This study attempts to explore whether television messages generate physiological and behavioral synchrony (i.e., concomitant changes in the physiological activity of two or more people) in TV co-viewers. The study also asks how different types of emotional messages and social viewing contexts alter that physiological and behavioral synchronization, and whether the degree of the synchrony influences the variance and strength of co-viewers? attitudes towards media content.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates whether watching TV together with others causes similar physical and behavioral responses in those watching. It also looks at how different emotional messages and the social setting of watching TV can change these responses.

Participants will watch television and researchers will measure their physiological responses, like heart rate or skin conductance, to see if they synchronize with others. This will help understand how shared viewing experiences might affect attitudes towards the content.

  • Who can participate: The study does not specify age or other eligibility criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will be asked to watch television while their physiological responses are measured. These measurements will help understand if people watching together have aligned responses. The study does not mention the use of a placebo.
