  Evaluating Research Using Cultivation Theory Please note: If you are attending class on Thursday, we will do this IN CLASS. No need to do it ahead of time. If you are NOT attending class on Thursday, you may complete this on your own on Canvas before the deadline. This week we extensively learned about cultivation theory. In this activity you will examine an empirical research study that uses cultivation theory to explore a research question. Your task is to understand how this research study used cultivation theory concepts and whether they found support for cultivation theory. Option to work in groups: You are welcome to work on this activity within groups. If you decide to work in a group, only one member of your group needs to submit the assignment on behalf of your group. Please note that you will NOT be able to make changes after the due date/time. Standard expectations: As with every assignment in this class, be sure to respond to the following questions in your own words and succinctly (in as few words as possible).  Basic knowledge necessary to complete this activity: Read Chapter 4 of your textbook Read this research article that uses cultivation theory: Hawkins, I., Coles, S. M., Saleem, M., Moorman, J. D., & Aqel, H. (2022). How Reel Middle Easterners’ Portrayals Cultivate Stereotypical Beliefs and Policy Support. Mass Communication and Society, 1-25 (Relevant pages: 1-5; 7-19)Download Hawkins, I., Coles, S. M., Saleem, M., Moorman, J. D., & Aqel, H. (2022). How Reel Middle Easterners’ Portrayals Cultivate Stereotypical Beliefs and Policy Support. Mass Communication and Society, 1-25 (Relevant pages: 1-5; 7-19) Table 4.1Download Table 4.1 Questions to answer: Hawkins et al., 2022 conducted a content-analysis examining how Middle Eastern characters are represented in entertainment media. Briefly summarize what they found with respect to the way in which Middle Eastern characters are depicted (relevant section: study 1 results: pgs 7-8) (1-2 sentences: 1 point). Look at the way the effects component is defined in Table 4.1 of your book (pg. 78). How is this effects component tested in the Hawkins et al., (2022) article? In other words, what specific effects are these researchers interested in examining in this research article (relevant section Study 2 introduction: pgs 8-11). (1-2 sentences: 1 point). On pg, 2-3, the Hawkins et al., (2022) article describes the difference between first order and second order effects. Looking at the results of Study 2 (and Figure 1 on pg.17): What are the first order and second order effects in this research article (1-2 sentences: 1 point) How does media exposure, as assessed in this research article, influence the first and second order effects examined within this research study? (2-3 sentences: 1 point) What did researchers suggest was the mediating variable in Study 2? How does it explain the relation between the independent variable and the dependent variable (1-2 sentences: 1 point)

You are the lawyer for a wealthy, now recently-deceased billionaire who has left his entire fortune to his dog. Even though he has no other family, you see this as a terrible waste of money and realize that if you alter his will, you could instead use his estate to set up a foundation dedicated to feeding the homeless. You are quite certain no one would find out, since only you knew about your client’s true wishes. What should you do? Is a lawyer who misrepresents his deceased client's wishes doing something that is equivalent to lying? If so, does the 9th commandment permit lying for a good cause? Defend your answer in light of the 9th commandment while considering the following concepts from Week 3: justice, perfect duties, and imperfect duties.  Write a dialogue post that provides an answer the questions above. Apply the concepts presented in this week’s posts must have 250-350 wrds A successful post and response will contain the following elements: Meets the word count guidelines and is on time. Is a thoughtful answer to the questions presented in the assignment instructions. Demonstrates an understanding of course concepts such as justice, perfect and imperfect duties, and the natural/moral law and integrates these concepts into the posts. Makes use of the assigned readings and incorporates either quotes or paraphrase to make a point more clear.  Demonstrates excellent readability and is error-free.

  Example of responses and how they are graded:  What are the differences between advocacy and scientific theories? High quality: Advocacy theories are theories that are presented with a thesis and then evidence is collected and formed into a well-structured argument to support the thesis. Scientific theories are theories that begin with a question, that is then formed into a hypothesis and is tested to determine whether or not that theory is true. Why is this a high-quality response? The students addressed the differences concisely in two sentences, using their own words and providing an example. Medium quality: An advocacy theory first presents a thesis position, then assembles evidence in an argument to support that thesis. A scientific theory presents a set of explanatory propositions that are speculations about the phenomenon that furthermore require testing to determine their value. In a comparison between the two, they differ in terms of purpose, treatment of evidence, and criteria for judging quality. For example, scholars who use advocacy theories look for evidence to support their position so as to maximize the strength of their argument. In comparison, scholars who use scientific theories do the opposite, and instead are less concerned with winning an argument than with refining their explanations so that they better fit the patterns within the phenomenon itself. Why is this a medium quality response? The student understood what each effect meant. However, the response was not succinct. Low quality: Advocacy theories are those which present a thesis first, then assemble evidence to support that thesis.  Why is this a low quality response? Student did not completely answer the question. Students that don't use own words as much as expected or are not succinct are also considered low quality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reading Guide Module 3 Theory & Analysis of Media effects: Chapters 2 & 3 To assist you with the assigned readings, I have developed an outline of questions for you to answer. Think about this as a key for what information to pay attention to in the reading. Research shows that students learn and retain information better when they can write it down in their own words. Try to answer the questions within these guides in your own words rather than copying and pasting the content from readings/lectures. The idea is to see if you can succinctly answer the question in your own words based on the knowledge you gained from your readings/lectures. Try to answer each question within one to three sentences. 1. Chapter 2: What are the differences between the exploratory and explanatory phase of research in the following dimensions? (4 points, 1 point for each dimension) a. Motivation for research studies b. Design of research studies c. Perspective on building knowledge d. Nature of findings 2. Chapter 2: What are the limitations of large fragmented literature? 3. Chapter 2: What is the role of theory in the media effects scholarship? How often is it used and why? 4. Chapter 3: What are the different conceptualization of media effect? 5. Chapter 3: What are the different conceptualization of media influence? 6. Chapter 3: What kinds of changes can theoreticians make to theory to advance its conceptual development? 7. Chapter 3: What is the difference in introducing a theory through an empirical pattern focus versus speculation focus?
