Цель: изучение взаимосвязи между использованием средств массовой информации обучающимися университетов и их отношением к стрельбе в школах в Соединенных Штатах Америки.

Методы

Методы: диалектический подход к познанию социальных явлений, позволяющий проанализировать их в историческом развитии и функционировании в контексте совокупности объективных и субъективных факторов, который определил выбор следующих методов исследования: формально-логический и социологический.

Результаты

Результаты: общепризнано, что стрельба в школах – это социальная проблема, требующая решения. Хотя она и носит эпизодический характер, но вызывает страх и тревогу, особенно в результате повышенного внимания, уделяемого прессой. В настоящей работе исследуется связь между использованием средств массовой информации студентами университетов и их убежденностью в том, что стрельба в школах является проблемой в Соединенных Штатах. Опрос проводился осенью 2012 г. среди 442 студентов университета. Проводились измерения конкретных режимов использования средств массовой информации, включая телевидение, газеты и социальные сети. Затем результаты анализировались с целью оценки указанной связи. Было обнаружено, что социальные сети, особенно «Твиттер»1 , существенно влияют на убеждения студентов относительно стрельбы в школах. Результаты исследования также свидетельствуют о значительных изменениях в производстве средств массовой информации, которые способствуют большей вовлеченности аудитории в обсуждение. В статье также обсуждается практическая значимость результатов для журналистики, ограничения данной работы и направления будущих исследований.

Научная новизна

Научная новизна: в настоящей работе мы постарались изучить влияние потребления СМИ на убеждения респондентов в том, что стрельба в школах является проблемой в Соединенных Штатах Америки. Была выдвинута гипотеза, что существует положительная связь между объемом сообщений СМИ, потребляемым студентами, и их убежденностью в том, что стрельба в школах является проблемой. Было обнаружено, что чем больше студенты используют социальные медиа, особенно «Твиттер», тем сильнее их убежденность в том, что стрельба в школах является социальной проблемой. Однако не все медиа показали такую связь в соответствии с теорией культивации.

Практическая значимость

Практическая значимость: основные положения и выводы статьи могут быть использованы в научной, педагогической и правоприменительной деятельности при рассмотрении вопросов, связанных с предупреждением и пресечением преступлений.

Objective

Objective: to explore the relationship between college students’ media consumption and their attitude to school shootings in the United States of America.

Methods

Methods: dialectical approach to cognition of social phenomena, allowing to analyze them in historical development and functioning in the context of the totality of objective and subjective factors, which predetermined the following research methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal, and sociological.

Results

Results: School shootings are considered by many to be a social problem in need of a solution. While episodic in nature, they generate fear and concern, particularly as a result of the amount of attention they garner by and through the media. The present study explores the relationship between college students’ media consumption and their beliefs that school shootings are a problem in the United States. A survey was administered to 442 university students in fall 2012 and included measures of specific modes through which media is consumed, including television, newspaper, and social media, which then were analyzed to assess such a relationship. The results indicate that social media—Twitter2 in particular—are significant predictors of students’ beliefs about school shootings. These findings also represent an important shift in media production that encourages a more participatory discourse with audience members. Implications for journalistic practices, study limitations, and directions for future research also are discussed.

Scientific novelty

Scientific novelty: The present study sought to examine the impact of media consumption on respondents’ beliefs that school shootings are a problem in the U.S. It was hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between the amount of media that students consume and their belief that school shootings are a problem. It was found that the more students use social media, and Twitter in particular, the stronger their beliefs that school shootings are a social problem. Not all media use, however, was related to these beliefs in accordance with cultivation theory.

Practical significance

Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific, pedagogical and law enforcement activities when considering the issues related to the crime prevention and suppression.
