Ball-Rokeach, S. J., & DeFleur, M. L. (1976). A dependency model of mass-media effects.

Communication Research, 3(1), 3-21.

In this journal Ball-Rokeach and DeFleur state one of the reasons that there is such a

lack of clarity as to whether the media have effects is that researchers have proceeded from

the wrong theoretical conceptualizations to study the wrong questions. This demonstrates

to us how in society believes there isnt a problem but only because they cant see the

problem that is there and the dependency that society has towards it.

Biagi, S. (2012). Media impact: An introduction to mass media Cengage Learning.

This book gives us an introduction to the different types of mass media, such as books,

newspapers, magazines, movie, etc. Not only do they show us the different types but also

how each of them have a role in society and how there is different types of positive effects

as well as some negative effects.

Malamuth, N. M., & Check, J. V. (1981). The effects of mass media exposure on acceptance of

violence against women: A field experiment. Journal of Research in Personality, 15(4), 436-

446.

Malamuth shows us how social media and mass media have helped raised awareness for

violence against women, the topic became more public to society and they did it by showing

two different films about the topic, to different types of people. Assessing acceptance of

interpersonal violence against women, acceptance of rape myths, and beliefs in adversarial

sexual relations.

O'Keeffe, G. S., Clarke-Pearson, K., & Council on Communications and Media. (2011). The

impact of social media on children, adolescents, and families. Pediatrics, 127(4), 800-804.

This article shows us how even when there is positive sides to mass media/social media

there is also the negatives. It is important that parents become aware of the nature of

social media sites, given that not all of them are healthy environments for children and

adolescents. Social media has become one of the biggest places for teenagers to become

bullied, leading them to suicide, depression, anger issues, etc. This article explains to us how

parents need to start monitoring their children so they can be aware of this danger.

Perse, E. M., & Lambe, J. (2016). Media effects and society Routledge.

Media effects and society explains to us what kind of effects mass media have to

people, institutions, society, culture, etc. It also shows something called The House Effect

this effect is when regular healthy normal people believe they are sick because of something

they saw on social media, or a show, they go to doctors demanding medication or expensive

tests. Mass media not only affects simple things in our everyday lives it can go as big as our

own mental health.

Rivers, W. L. (1971). The mass media and modern society.

Rivers explains to us in this book how he uses modern society and old society to show the

different relations between the mass media that is being used in those times. Rivers also

states the book examines the social, economic, and intellectual environments in which the

media operate. It is important for us to compare different types of mass media in different

times to observe if they have the same effect or if they gradually change through time.

most important things when it comes to mass media because thats basically the foundation

behind it, its how everything is done and portrayed.
