Name of the Theory Claims and Key Concept Theories and Developers

Cultivation TheoryPersistent long term exposure to TV content has small but measurable effects on the perceptual worlds of audience members.

George Gerbner

Social Action Theory

Media audiences participate actively in mediated communication; they construct meanings from the content they perceive.

Social action theory sees communication interaction in terms of actors’  intent, receivers' interpretations, and message content.

Meaning is not delivered in the communication process, rather it is constructed within it. Each communication act generates at least three separate and potentially different sites of this construction.

Anderson and Meyer

Name of the Theory Claims and Key Concept Theories and Developers

Agenda-Setting Theory

It contrasts with the selective exposure hypothesis of cognitive dissonance, reaffirming the power of the press while maintaining individual freedom. It aligns well with social judgment  theory.

Maxwell McCombs & Donald Shaw

Media Dependency Theory

Audiences depend on media information to meet needs and reach goals.

Social institutions and media systems interact with audiences  to create needs, interests, and    motives in the person.
