Title: | The (non)violent world of YouTube : content trends in web video | Authors: | Weaver, Andrew J. Zelenkauskaite, Asta Samson, Lelia |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Communication | Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | Weaver, A. J., Zelenkauskaite, A., & Samson, L. (2012). The (non)violent world of YouTube : content trends in web video, 62(6), 1065-1083. | Series/Report no.: | Journal of communication | Abstract: | In this content analysis, we examined violence in Web-based entertainment. YouTube videos (N = 2,520) were collected in 3 different categories: most viewed, top rated, and random, with additional comparisons between amateur and professional content. Frequencies of violent acts and the context of violence (e.g., characteristics of perpetrator and victim, justification, consequences) were compared both between these categories of YouTube videos and with existing research on television violence. The results showed far less violence as a percentage of programming on YouTube than there is on television. Moreover, the violence that was present showed more realistic consequences and more negative context than television violence. Post hoc comparisons illustrated several differences in the presentation of violence between make and category of video. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/100732 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/20978 |
